TVGB: You don't have to be an anime-obsessed otaku to recognize the orange jumpsuited orphan turned ninja Naruto, as his TV show is currently among the most popular animated series in both the United States and Japan. But take it from Goku, fame can be a double-edged sword. It wasn't too long ago that Naruto seemed destined follow in the footsteps of Dragon Ball Z, with the anime and manga enjoying absurd popularity in inverse proportion to the abysmal mediocrity of their videogame counterparts. Though not terrible, they were all far from terrific, relying mostly on fan loyalty to move copies. But then last year Ubisoft released Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, the first game to break from the beat 'em up formula, blending both fighting and adventure elements to appeal to the millions-strong fanbase and the Naruto-newcomer alike, a formula that resulted in both critical and commercial success. It also paved the way for the recently released sequel, Naruto: The Broken Bond, but is this new Naruto-road one you will want to travel?
