How to play as Kyubi or Demon forms of some characters:
First unlock all the characters in the game (inluding the fourth Hokage). Then when you’re in the character select screen hovering over certain character, hold R1 then press O on your PS2 controller to choose the character you want to play as, but in a stronger shape.

This is what the fully unlocked character and stage select screens look like:
