Naruto: Rise of Ninja is about a boy named Naruto Uzumaki adventures based on the first 80 episodes of the popular show Naruto. This game is not all its cracked up to be, false advertisement at best. Its an ok game but it not as big of a step as previously indicated.The only two things this game has going for it is the fighting system and graphics, everything else is pretty lame. I mean sure you can run around in the village but there isnt much to do. As you travel around the village you soon notice that you encounter the same people over and over again. I think there is like 5 people that are actually in the village, not counting the main characters. The story is badly told through the cutscenes, any newcomers to the show would definitely get confused. If i didnt already see the show i wouldnt have wanted to see after playing a game like this. Infact now that i think about it, some of the main characters on the game dont even sound like themselves. During the story, all the bad guys you encounter are basically the same, after a while your like are you serious?

Gameplay: The gameplay is as such, simple, easy, and the controls can be learned really fast. The fighting system is probably the core of the game because nothing else is really that good. The sad thing about this game is that after a while you start to notice alot of similarities in the game, like throughout the game you will fight the same people over and over and over again and nothing changes, fights then become tedious and repetitive.

Graphics: The graphics look gorgeous, sometimes i wonder if all of the money was spent on the graphics rather the actual game.

Sound: Now the Sound is ok, The have actual soundtracks from the show which is always good, but the voice acting pretty much sucks, and as i said earlier, some people dont sound like themselves. plus as a bonus, their mouths doesnt move when they talk. Its pathetic because you would think at this point in time game producers would have gotten mouth movement down.

Value: The replay value on this game is extremely low, if you do somehow manage to get through this game without going insane I doubt you would want to do it again.

All in all, this game was badly put together, the graphics and fights is all this game has going for it. I was really disappointed, i give this game a 5.0 out of 10.
