I was quite excited for this game to come out, being a Naruto fan and all. I purchased it put it in my 360 and played. At first I was a little disappointed.. it was all a little weird.. the fighting didn't go so well. But after a short period of time you get used to it, and everything seems to get better and better. Pulling off Jutsu's seems much easier now then a couple of hours ago. Simply put the free roaming in Konoha is great. At first you can just run around and jump to a couple of rooftops, but as you progress in the story you learn new things (double jump, sprint, wall running etc.) which allow you to reach greater heights, and you can get around the village of Konoha much faster. As I said before, in the beginning the fighting feels weird. But after a while you get used to it and get better in it. As for the Jutsu, the cutscenes are pretty spectacular. And you can really screw your jutsu up, if performed incorrect. There are some bad things about this game too. The story is pretty short, if you take it easy and just go with a slow pace you should have completed the story line in 6-8 hours. Then you can go for the achievements. Also I didn't have much of a problem with the english voice acting (I watch the ***. version of Naruto) except for three people: Jiraiya, Iruka and the Third Hokage. The original voice actors for these three have been replaced. Making the cutscenes from the anime ingame seem a bit weird as you'll hear 2 different voices. This can be solved if you download the Japanese voices though...unless you don't like the Japanese voices. Overall a great game :)
