   Naruto,...?
Well it finally happened I got a copy of the new Naruto game for the ps2.
It was so freakin hard to find up here in DC because every game store sold out of it the first day!!! and I couldnt find another copy when tehy restocked because so many people Pre-ordered it!!!
So I wetnf rom store to store, Mall to mall, and finaly I just kind of gave up and dicided that I would have to wait...
Then the random happened when me and my father went to Target to get an extention cord, I went to the games section to see what they had (well PC because Wallmart and Target have a really bad problem here of running out of ps3 games, so the shelves are bare...alot.) anyway I passed the ps2 games and glanced of course, and there it was!
All by its self 2 copies of it, (and some kid was eyeing them!) the only other game they had was Navy Seals, So I jumped on the game (not the Navy Seals) like "a fat man on a donut at a weight watchers convention" (Im not sure what show thats from..)

That is really a good game, I mean I am surprized how good it is, most anime games suck. (sad but true) this one they worked on, you could tell. And the best thing they could have done they did: They made it after the manga rather then the Anime!!! The fighting and levels and such are in manga style (art and such) so the caracters are shaded with lines rather then shadow, and when you switch levels it goes to manga view and turns the page.
This game is a fighting game but it is a "timing" fighting game, were most of the attacks and counters are basded on if you press the button at the exact time. (also very cool)
For example: to counter with a substetution image and counter(change places with a log) you must press R2 right when the opponites hit lands,BUT they can also do the same! (So both of you can keep countering untill one misses the button.
The fighting is very well made since it (like the manga) looks like they are just really beating the crap out of each other. (EX: on a level with Shikamaru I kicked Rock Lee in the balls and he then flew into a wall, but his neck hit a corner of the house that was stiking out and it hurt him even more!)

The only thing that I find wrong with the game, is that changeing it into english, they have changed the names of some of the attacks (EX: Kakashi's Thousand Years of "Pain" is now "Death") And Naruto says Believe It ALOT like every sentence!
Its like "Im going to the bathroom Believe IT!"
"Im putting on my shoes Believe It!"
"How are you today Believe It!"
My friend Johnathan is ticked about this, since he has never seen the english version of it he doesnt approve of Naurto saying Believe It, since in the japanese version and in the manga he doesnt say that at all.
What he does say is a japanese word (I cant spell it so im not going to try) that acts like a big exclamation point. meaning it just makes his what he says loud and noticable, (sadly the english language doesnt have a word like that so they had to put something there to fix the lip sink)
Other then that its a great game!
