Reception
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 have received mixed reviews. GameRankings gave the game 73.85% while Metacritic gave it a 73/100.

ING's Greg Miller rated the game 7.4 out of 10. Miller admitted to having fun playing the game but felt the execution of the controls "took away from the fun". Gamespot's Ryan Davis noted the expansion in the story line and character list, but states "they might not impress anyone else" and that Ultimate Ninja 2 delivers the same experience as the first game.

Eurogamer's James Lyon commenting on the 2D pencil drawn visuals stating that it gives the characters a "distinctive style" but said "the cross-hatch shading sometimes makes the characters look dirty rather than dark". Lyon concluded that while the game was a "enjoyable plug in the market", it is not "absolutely essential for those happy with what they've got, or what they'll get in the future", referring to the third installment in the series.
