Naruto Games - Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2
The actual combat holds up to the mechanics established in the first game, with a solid lock-on system and special attacks mapped to a shoulder button that show off each of the playable character's moves. Here's the caveat: The enemies are pushovers, including most of the bosses, which really makes Uzumaki Chronicles 2 feel like a cakewalk. It's nice that you can get a second player in for some co-op shenanigans, but when the base game is so simple and easy, that's little compensation.
The real meat of the Uzumaki experience is in customizing each character's Skill Plate, which is like a weird game of Tetris where you fit skill "chips" into a geometric box. You can tweak a character's attributes to make him more effective in-game, but there's nothing in the game to really compel you to play as other characters unless you really want to play Kakashi or Sakura instead of Naruto.
