Kombo Writes: "Need your fill of ninja action on the PSP? Well then Namco-Bandai has an answer for you with Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress.

Over twenty characters--who will each specialize with their own jutsu and special techniques-- will be taken from the hit anime series, so fans should be pleased with a large roster of characters. The Phantom Fortress story mode will have Naruto and company battling in a flying fortress that has landed on the Hidden Leaf Village. Namco-Bandai is promising more than 100 different floors for the fortress, which will be filled with battles, quizzes, and other mini-games.

Also included will be a full blown multiplayer mode, which will allow you to go at it in six types of two-player battles such as one-on-one, one-vs-two, and so on. The game will, unfortunately, not feature any infrastructure play and will rely on the PSP's ad-hoc capabilities."
