The Xbox Community Network recently caught up with game producer Sebastien Puel to ask him about the game...
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.
no shikamaru? you bastards he's my fav "so troublesome"
anyways i really hope this doesn't flop, about time they actually put some effort into it and make a great Naruto game. and i had no idea it was coming in november.....guess thats a -$60 from my savings...
I feel in my gut this won't turn out well, but I will more than likely rent it.
Mostly because I heard they are including the Japanese voices. Don't have to deal with BELIEVE IT, every 2 seconds.
This was a great series before it became popular. Now it will just keep going until people lose intrest.
If they just had the series end, at the epic battle between Saske, and Naruto at the water fall... where most of the others died(or so I thought). It would have been an epic series.
I stopped watching after that.
Similar to the DBZ series... if they just stopped at the battle between Gohan, and Cell... It would have been forever my favorite series.
BELIEVE IT. That's the best, way bettern than those japanse gay voices.
it looks like a great game almost like playing the cartoon from the previews Ive seen and the series is still lots of fun for the legions of loyal fans they've amassed .
hope the ps3 Naruto project looks has good.
All those nerds said that japanese voices are better, yeath right, they're kind of gay and ugly.
