The Good

Solid visual presentation, You can play matches with a friend who doesn't own the game.

The Bad

The combat is recycled, The single-player campaign is bloated and boring, Minigames don't hold up over the course of the lengthy campaign.

The Bottom Line

Updating the series' trademark fast-paced combat system, players can pull off acrobatic flying attacks, flashy combo strikes and unstoppable jutsu skills with ease. Additionally, players can customize their game experience by choosing to play through the full game with English or the original Japanese voices.

The Phantom Fortress is full of lame minigames, occasional fights, and tons of repetition. Enter at your own risk.

A slight improvement over the first Naruto PSP offering, The Phantom Fortress still plays the same while not really pushing the fighting series to exciting new heights.

The Mugenjo Mode does give you a lot of extra gameplay, but all the mechanics in place, along with the majority of the environments, music and other game elements, are identical to the original.
