The play modes are all-new, and the team concept is certainly an interesting addition to the gameplay. Not to mention the absolutely unique dichotomy between the Hero mode and the promotion test mode.

The three-on-three team battles add a cool level of strategy, and customizing your characters into blazing fast powerhouses is a blast. [Oct 2007, p.72]

Poco mejor se puede hacer con un juego de Naruto en portátil, recuerdo pasármelo como un crío. Bueno, como lo que era.

This game is solid. The fighting mechanics aren't complex, but they also aren't too basic. The roster is great since pretty much all the characters you would want to play as are here. Those characters and their jutsus are pretty true to the show. The way that neji's ultimate jutsu depletes chakra, and the fact that one of naruto's jutsus is him farting is evident of this. The heroes mode is fun, and legitimately challenging to play through at the higher difficulties. It's enjoyable to discover and use different teams in this mode, as well as to see what abilities are available with each of these teams. Parameter Powerup is a cool concept, and it makes playing through the "vs" and "promotion test" modes more exciting. My main gripe is just the lack of any other content. I wish we could have gotten a story mode like in the second game and/or a challenge mode akin to the one in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Maybe the only other things would be to add The Final Valley as a stage and add Asuma and Kurenai as playable, but those are just nitpicks really. I just feel like I played through this game lightning fast, and I would love to spend more time with it, but I have nothing else to do.

There are a lot of good things in Ultimate Ninja Heroes, but its weaknesses, including the aforementioned poor load times and limited character control, really drag it down. However, if you're a fan of the Naruto universe, or you just want a stylish, simple fighting game to try out, give this one a spin.

Easily one of the best fighting games on PSP, and one of this fall’s strongest portable titles.

The Naruto: Ultimate Ninja games haven't been terribly ambitious up to now, and with little in the way of actual, original content, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes feels even less so.

Worth Playing
Overall, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes takes an okay series of PS2 games and manages to downgrade them severely, not once, but twice — once from PS2 to PSP and again, in mostly inexcusable fashion, from Japan to the U.S.

Given the lack of single-player modes and the simple fighting engine, it's hard to recommend Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes to anyone who isn't currently wearing a Naruto headband.

Como toda franquia boa que se preze, a série Ultimate Ninja também recebeu em 2007 uma versão para o portátil da Sony, lançado somente para o ocidente, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes além de ser o primeiro jogo do anime para o console, ele também é a primeira variação da franquia, reaproveitando praticamente tudo do Ultimate Ninja 2, como o visual, os modelos, os cenários, as músicas, a barra de vida, a jogabilidade e entre outras coisas, ele só não é um control C, control V, porque ele tem sim as suas diferenças, como não possuir todos os personagens, ter um Ultimate por personagem, não ter suportes e também não ter um modo história. Invés disso, ele segue um estilo mais arcade, introduzindo o chamado modo heroes que dá nome ao jogo, sendo praticamente um modo que se resume em escolher uma dificuldade e enfrentar diversos trios ou duplas em seguida. E sinceramente, eu pessoalmente não gosto desse jogo, já que mesmo sendo lançado depois da trilogia, pra mim ele é o pior da franquia, tendo uma dificuldade injusta e menos conteúdo que todos os jogos da série, pra você ter noção nem no próprio japão ele foi lançado, apenas no próprio ocidente. Eu reconheço que foi uma boa introdução da franquia para o PSP, mas com certeza dava pra ter feito muito mais, eu só não julgo o fato dele não ter os conteúdos do Ultimate Ninja 3, por conta de que na época, o Ultimate Ninja 3 ainda não havia chegado ao ocidente, chegando somente em 2008, mas enfim, a parte boa é que logo no ano seguinte, a série Heroes recebia o seu segundo título.

I don't think this has a spot in the Fighting genre, is dull and wacky. It feels very unfulfilling , i take the Clash of Ninja over this sub series ( Ultimate Ninja) .

It's basically Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 on handheld. Not worth the money if you've already own Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 on PS2 or generally don't like 2D fighting games.
