You're looking for a playable cartoon with major Japanese style?
Look no further. Naruto: Rise of a Ninja gives you all that. These 2 gameplay videos show some of the battles, but also single player stuff running through town. It has it's own very unique style and fans will instantly crap their pants over this footage from Gamersyde!
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...

this game looks large,the city is so big. hope you can be other chars, other then naruto. SASUKE .
Played it in Leipzig on the GC and I must say: it's not my genre of game instantly but I kind of liked this game instantly because of its art style
Yah, I played it 2. And Its REALY my game! If you checked all the series of Naruto, you sure are gonna like this game! Naruto looks even better in 3d !
Yea, I watched the Naruto marathon that was on CartOOn Network last month and instantly became addicted to it. It's a pretty awesome game that seems to be dead on w/the series.
i'm really looking forward to this one! and i love that they're using the music from the show in the game.
