YMMV / Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2

• Hilarious in Hindsight: This won't be the first time the Third Hokage, Zabuza and Haku will come Back from the Dead. Wait for the Fourth Ninja War arc in the manga and anime.
• Sequel Difficulty Spike: The game is notorious for upping the enemy's AI far higher compared to Ultimate Ninja. Many players often have trouble winning the main story's battles, let alone optional missions. The spike is really noticeable in Ultimate Road's Third Hokage vs Orochimaru battle, in which Orochimaru substitutes your attacks constantly, only stopping when he has no chakra. This happens in Chapter 1. The sequel, Ultimate Ninja 3, tones down the AI to be more like the first game.
