The first Path of the Ninja was a decent RPG that took the Naruto characters and led them through the history of the series, retelling stories that fans were already familiar with. Path of the Ninja 2 is overall a much-improved game, including a brand-new story, 30 characters, and an online battle component. It isn't perfection, but it's an enjoyable time.

Ever since the first time I picked one up, RPGs have always been my genre of choice when it comes to videogames. So an RPG with Naruto characters is already a win-win in my book. I'm happy to report, however, that TOMY won't just be releasing a run-of-the-mill RPG with a coat of Naruto paint covering the interior, as the game won't just tell an original story, but will feature something hardly ever seen in an RPG – multiplayer battles. I talked with Nobby Matsuo (Producer) and Glenn Stotz (Product Specialist) to find out all about this new, multiplayer component.
