Naruto: Rise of a Ninja

A Good, Solid Naruto Game

Strengths: The first great Naurto game, two games in one, great story mode and great fighting mode either online/offline, Japanese audio is a free download for the purists, anime level graphics.

Weakness: well, this is hard since I was surprised in the quality of the game. The story mode directly follows the anime storyline, coin collecting missions, more directed to kids

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is a great game. People come to this game expecting something low quality. Previous Naruto games have been nothing to write home about and it was looking like this game might be the same way since it was even developed outside of Japan but Ubisoft, but this game is different. Rise of a Ninja is solid game. The story mode is fun even if it follows the story the anime tells,...

Naruto Done Right

Strengths: Graphics, sound, characters, and fighting/story-mode.

Weakness: Cutscenes, Nickel and Diming for characters that should of been part of originally been part of the game disc.

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is an action/adventure/fighting game for the XBOX 360. You play as Naruto who is a student soon to be ninja throughout his adventures. The story mode is well done due to various elements. You have some platforming, some fights, and leveling up to gain more skills. The cutscenes are cheap, since they decided to go with old anime cutscenes to show the story. They should of...

Naruto Rise of a Ninja

Strengths: Great graphics and one of the better licensed games out there.

Weakness: Some repetetive gameplay and the combat is not too deep.

Many folks might dismiss a title like Naruto Rise of a Ninja outright as hastily-assembled kiddie-fare. In this case they would be wrong. This is a gorgeous adventure/brawler game that looks nearly like the anime t4hat inspired it. For fans of the show it is certain to deliver what they want. For others it might still be an enjoyable experience. It is part adventure, part brawler. You may get...

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja (XBox 360)

Strengths: Best looking anime based graphics

Weakness: Voice over.

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is probably the best looking Naruto game in the market. It has gorgeous anime-style, cell-shaded graphics that is purely breath taking. The story mode is the best offer in this game since you get to do both fighting and RPG-like elements such as, town exploring, leveling up and coin collecting. There is a versus mode in which you get to just do fighting against your...

Naruto: Rise Of A Ninja (Xbox 360)

Strengths: Great cartoon graphics, well-done Naruto translation, nice DLC, good voice acting

Weakness: Somewhat repetitive, too short, limited online multiplayer

Naruto: Rise Of A Ninja is the first Naruto game on the 360, where he's appeared previously on the PS2, DS and Wii. This game follows the early parts of the Naurto saga, in his rise up the ranks of the ninja. The game looks great and appears like a rendered cartoon, with good voice acting to back it up. The gameplay is good, though has its moments of being repetitive. Game length is on the...

Nine-Tailed Review: Rise of a Franchise

Strengths: Looks great. Interesting mix of rpg style missions and fighting action. true to the story and characters.

Weakness: Original DLC had serious bug. believe it's been fixed.

Naruto is a really great game for the 36. One that's great in its own right and not justbecuase it's the franchise fo a particular anime. The game looks and plays well, has a nice fighting system, a mix of rpg style missions, challenges, there's a lot to do. Yeah, it has soem quirks. And there was a bad bug in the first batch of DLC. But I believe that's been removed and fixed.

Best Naruto to Date

Strengths: Konoha in great detail.

Weakness: Could be more thorough.

I consider this a good Naruto fighter with a decent story/RPG added in. I enjoyed the story mode very much, and what's in it has a lot of detail. The depth and completeness of it was lacking however. For instance, there were no interiors, and Naruto's home wasn't in it. But the outdoors made up for it, and the village of Konoha is very well done. As far as the story goes, it seemed to skimp on...

Next Gen Naruto, Believe It

Strengths: +authentic to anime +Japanese and English voices +easy controls +fighting mechanics are good +Japanese and English voice acting

Weakness: -way too short -no difficulty setting -not much replay ability -horrible storyline (won’t make sense for those unfamiliar to Naruto) -some voice actors not the same as TV

Naruto Rise of a Ninja is inspired by the hit anime series. In single player mode, players assume the role of Naruto. The game takes players from the beginning of the first Naruto series all the way up to the end of the Chunin exams. As Naruto, players can also explore every inch of the Leaf Village and the surrounding areas. Scattered throughout the Leaf Village are various side-objectives that...

holds true to the series

Strengths: great graphics, fairly faithful to the original Naruto story, nice Xbox Live downloads

Weakness: computer can be extremely tough in verses mode

If you're a fan of the Naruto series, this is the game to get for the 360. The cell shaded graphics are amazing and the gameplay is fun and challenging. It's great to be able to explore the Konoha village in a free roaming environment. Xbox Live downloads add to the enjoyment of the game with the addition of extra characters (as a price of course). The computer can be pretty unforgiving at times...

Ubisoft failed on their first try of Naruto game.

Strengths: It follows original animated series. In graphic wise, best looking Naruto game.

Weakness: Not *made in Japan. Terrible English voice acting!

If you have watched animated series, then you will probably already know what is going to happen because it's based on it. Village of hidden leaf is beautifully animated in cell-shade. You get to do optional chores around the town over and over again, which gets boring very quickly. Ubisoft tried to include fighting and adventure at the same time and I think that is what ruined this game,...
