Naruto Shippuden is a typical Japan­ese children’s cartoon combined with top-notch Matrix-esque action. Based on the popular anime of the same name, the game sees you take on the role of Naruto and follow a storyline which will be familiar to any of the show’s fans. While the plotline is easy enough for novices who have never seen the show to pick up, it defin­itely feels as though Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 was made with a hardcore following firmly in mind, giving players a chance to relive some of their favourite anime moments. 

This release boasts over 40 playable characters as well as an online mode, which gives you the opportunity to experience its bigg­est selling point: battles against other extremely dedicated players around the world. 

If your child is a fan of the anime they will undoubtedly love this; and if you can stomach the awful dialogue voiced by irritating American tweens in the name of button bashing epic kung fu high jinx, then you just might too.
