'Naruto' for Xbox 360 Promises to be the Best 'Naruto' Game to Date

With the imminent release of Naruto for Nintendo's Wii and DS systems come October 23 and for the Xbox 360 on the 30th, the manga stands to totally invade the gaming world in North America. Ubisoft's Naruto: Rise of a Ninja in particular, promises to be the best Naruto game ever, allowing gamers to revel in the Naruto experience from its very beginning.

is this a big game for people who like the series or is it just a cash in?

ive never watched the series so i duno if ill like it.

Adamalicious6037d ago

From what I've seen it follows really closely to the Anime. Combine that with the fact that you can use the original (Japanese) voice acting and I expect most fans will really enjoy it.

The majority of Naruto games are pretty much cash-ins. Which is not to say they are all crap, but this is the first one that I've seen that is really attempting to emulate what's fun about Naruto.

They haven't shown much. They always show that fight with Neji (a character in the anime). Which to me looks exactly like the other games.

Anyway I did also see that they've implemented a lot of features we've not seen in Naruto games like running on water and stuff like that. And they also showed off a big city (Konoha) but that's about it. I wouldn't get too excited. Nothing ground breaking but it couild be the best Naruto game out there (not really hard to beat though).

Adamalicious6037d ago

Umm - they've show a lot more than that. There are developer diaries and lots of gameplay footage of all the different things you can do in the game on the web.

TheHater6037d ago

that what they say about all the Naruto games. This one isn't going to be any different

Zhuk6037d ago

It actually does look good as the developers feel better now they are working on the Xbox 360 and this will mean that their games play and look better.

look at this thread and you will see how the Xbox 360 has helped them make the best Naruto game yet

I BELIEVE that every Naruto game is crap.

The 5 Best Uses of Cel Shading In Video Games: Part Deux

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.

Still missing Prince of Persia and DQ8, but you can't fit them all into one list.

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!

snipes1014325d ago

Both of those games are BC on xbox an ps3 (if you dont have a ps slim)

sknygy4324d ago

Thanks for the heads up!

sriki0074325d ago (Edited 4325d ago )

borderlands is one of the best cel shaded game.

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...
