   The mega manga/anime franchise that has been sweeping the states as of late is the Naruto franchise. The universe within the series pretty much says “game” written all over it. If you picked up a random Naruto game, however, chances are it had “not that great” written all over it. Many of them are shallow fighters or platformers that have no real reason to exist other than to make cash on the popular craze. Ubisoft, however, has decided to take on the reels of the franchise and deliver a Naruto game of their own. As the first game in the franchise to be developed outside of Japan, and the first to hit Microsoft’s console, it attempts to deliver something that the other games have missed out on: being good. Does it succeed in its lofty goal, however?!Story:Naruto: Rise of a Ninja covers the first 80 or so episodes of the franchise, and tells of the beginnings of Naruto’s rise of becoming the very best ninja, known as “hokage” in his world. He is known, however, as being a troublemaker, and try as he might, he never really seems to catch a break. Not only has he failed ninja school, but he has an ancient nine-tailed fox demon sealed inside him, which hasn’t exactly made him the talk of the town, so to speak. Naruto now attempts to do everything in his power to win the villagers trust. The setup is not too complicated, yet it makes you want to help the young underdog on his quest to earn the one thing he’s looking for: respect.7/10Design:There are two different modes in Naruto:.

   Really fun video game. Despite this game being 12 years old it looks just like it came out about 4 or 5 years ago. The story line is just like the manga up to the chunin exams and the combat system in the game really reminds me of old school fighter games. The only thing I wish was different is if the story went a little farther.

   I bought this as a gift to my nephew as he loves the manga’s. He loves the game. I’ve played it quite a bit my self and I also like it a great deal. It is a fun game. Some of the missions are repetitive, but their are a great deal of things to do. The handling functions and combat engine are a bit restrictive, but do not impede on the fun of the game.

   Just got to play this game yesterday. (Yeah. I bought it for a while, but my 360 had the 3 red light hardware failure. Microsoft was great at getting it fixed. Not mad at Microsoft. Only inconvenience was not being able to play 360 games for a 3 weeks).These are my first impressions of the game.Very interesting and dynamic. Story line follows the anime VERY well. I’m happy with the graphics during gameplay, but the video clips are pretty low res. Only got to some of the mini games. Not very challenging yet and slightly boring start. But I expect it to get much better as the story progresses. Controls are great. Love being able to go through the Leaf Village. It’s like RPG meets fighting.Highly recommend this game.

   I’m not huge on video games (the last one I actually finished was Gauntlet Dark Legends for PlayStation2) and I get really frustrated playing most other games on the 360, but my husband bought this and being a pretty big fan of the Naruto anime, I wanted to give it a shot.I loved the Naruto experience watching everything from the very beginning as he goes through the process of gaining popularity with his villagers, learning basic jutsu, meeting his village friends, teammates and other enemies.I’m not very good, but I still enjoy playing this game. Normally when I’m not very good at a game it’s because I feel frustrated and defeated. Not so with Naruto. Not to say it’s a super-easy game. My husband plays a lot of video games and managed to finish this game in about 12 hours over a couple weeks (it will probably take me much longer)but he looked forward to playing this game as much as he looked forward to playing Halo and when he finally finished he basically said “wow, I wasn’t expecting it to be this fun.”I don’t have much to compare it to in the world of video games since I’m no pro, but to me, the graphics looked awesome – I loved watching the old clips from the show as I went through the game and there’s plenty of fun just speeding around collecting coins and doing personal missions. I did watch my brother play through Twilight Princess on the Wii and would say the story and activities would put it in the same category and feel of that game – maybe not as much depth, bu.

   Every single video game I have ever played that is based off of an anime has generally been a disappointment. Not so with Rise of the Ninja. Honestly, this is probably one of the most well thought-out video games in existence. Someone actually sat down and made a video game that totally and completely simulates the “Naruto” experience. You are not playing a standard type of video game that just-so-happens to have the Naruto characters in it. You’re playing a video game that was designed around the events of the series itself – from the graphics to the gameplay. And they did an amazing job, from the way you form hand signs to the way you focus chakra to run up buildings and over water. If you are not a fan of the series then I would still recommend this game since it is visually unique, a ton of fun and the core of the game is a really nifty fighter. However, if you are a fan of the series then you need to own this. Don’t have an Xbox 360? Then buy one.Both my girlfriend and I are not hardcore anime people, but at some point we both became fans of this series (we don’t remember how) and neither one of us (she hates video games) could put this game down. It’s like Naruto heaven. They built and rendered the ENTIRE Village Hidden in the Leaves. Really. The whole thing. And not just the horizontal portion either…you can literally explore the city from the little alley ways, to the tops of buildings without loading. It’s amazing. All of the characters from the first 80 episodes,.

   Genryu – March 12, 2023

   This game is about the closest you can get to living out the earlier part of the anime series/manga that you can compared to the other naruto games. While the others introduced story elements into their games as well, this one really feels like a sandbox sort of feel by giving you real-time travel throughout the naruto world. It’s pretty big and there’s lots to do to keep yourself busy and entertained just between all the mini-games and side quests alone.The combat though is pretty unique how they handle it, and makes you actually do some work to pull off a special attack, but once you get the hang of it is pretty easy to do. There are even little mini-games within the special attacks too to keep you on your toes and give the opponent a chance to counter.The storyline pretty much starts out from the very beginning and goes up to just past the chunnin exams, in case any fan was wondering. It’s not a very lengthy game, but that depends on how much of the extra side-quests and everything that you do. For anyone who was wondering they do have downloadable content, including japanese voice-overs along with new characters for multiplayer. It’s a solid game that’s not too hard for newcomers to these sort of games but definitely gives those with some experience a chance to shine.The multiplayer is about the only thing I can nitpick about, and that too mainly with the online part as a lot of people tend to be pretty good at it so it’s hard to find someone your own skill level. The AI.

    Awesome game. Though once done, there really isn’t anything else to do. However, it’s still a classic for me.
