Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5 is a Fighting, Role-playing, Single-player and Multiplayer video game available to play on PlayStation 2. The game serves as the fifth installment in the series of Ultimate Ninja video games. One of the new additions to this game is the introduction of assist characters. In the game, assist characters are selected during the character selection and can be summoned during the fight to deal extra damage. There are specific combinations of characters available, and each has unique skills. However, these combinations reflect the associations of those particular characters in the manga and anime. Many of the techniques of the characters from the past titles were updated. Several updated methods are available, including assist-specific ones. Now, summon feature has been eliminated from the title. However, the assist characters can’t be turned off. It also uses the role-playing mode where the player can roam several sections of the village and can interact with the surroundings of the storyline and inhabitants of the town. The story is divided into eight sections. There are several characters, and the game introduces core features to make the game challenging to play.
