Ubisoft and Microsoft released a new trailer for the action/adventure Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. You can watch the high-resolution version by clicking on the link below.
Daniel Hill Writes - Last week, I constructed a list of what I thought to be the five best uses of cel shading in gaming in terms of how effectively they melded with the feel, atmosphere and mood of the game. While I think my original list was strong and I stand by my original choices, it was not without its flaws, and thanks to the always-insightful comments section, I realized that there were some titles that deserved to be there, but weren’t. I’m doing this to appease no one but me…don’t call me Bioware. As an enthusiast, no, a beau of this writer’s inamorata that is cel shading, I am giving these games shine because they do, indeed, do use cel shading beautifully.
In those cases, i think added more to pure aesthitics than the feel of the game, something i think these titles did a littke better. I almost put PoP though.
So gutted I missed out on XIII and Killer 7, would love them to be re-released at some point.
I gotta say I'd take a HD Wind Waker over any of them tho!
Namco Bandai's Naruto Rise of a Ninja is now available for digital purchase via the Xbox Live's Game on Demand.
Naruto; Rise of a Ninja costs 10 euro in our local stores.
It's 30 DOLLARS in the USA through the 'on demand', which is like 22 euro(!)
The price for this game On Demand for people in Holland: 30 euro! Which is 41 dollars(!) for a game that's over 2 years old and is available in stores with casing and booklet for a third of the price(!)
Nice going, Microsoft(!)
I can't believe there are actually idiots out there buying these On Demand 'offers'. You'd be ripped off. You can pick up 3-4 good quality games from the bargain-bins instead of buying one of these 'on demand' deals.
You'd THINK that cutting out the middle man (retailer) and cutting out all the costs of the casing, booklet, transport, etc etc, would mean these games could be offered for a relatively fair and cheap price through the On Demand option, but I guess Microsoft thinks differently...
Microsoft has announced a new starting price for Xbox 360 Classics in Europe, and three new blockbuster titles for the program, offering high quality experiences at outstanding value.

A selection of titles, including Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: VEGAS 2 and Naruto: Rise of a Ninja will now be available with a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of just £14.99.
buy , buy , buy !
Another Naruto game, I'm sure most who are looking to this are expecting a rather decently made fighter, with perhaps a good enough story that you'll be interested to follow along. In most of these types of games, you normally have to LIKE the franchise it's from, otherwise you're just going to be wasting money, but I'm sure if you're fan, you'll probably enjoy this game as long as it's well made of course, cause even fanboys have limits!
nicely scaled environment, and amazingly, good looking blades of grass!! (you all know that doesn't happen often :P). The fighting just looks like the Gamecube Naruto games though, but it would be awesome if they manage to integrate that seamlessly with the adventure aspect. You lucky 360 owners grrrr
We got ultimate ninja 2 on the ps2 & it kinda like this but not as vast in enviormental as 360. still I enjoy playing UN2 on my ps2. But this game looks great no matter how you slice it! True naruto fans can also go to Dailymotion for episodes 1-95 in english dubbed. type naruto 1-99 yur choice of what episode an put english after FTW!
