An absolute must for Naruto and Anime fans
User Rating: 7.5 | Naruto: Rise of a Ninja X360
Naruto Rise of a Ninja is a hard game to class. It's an RPG, Platform, and Fighting game all rolled into one. The RPG story which has amazing graphics and uses some of the best cut-scenes from the actual anime series is a little too short and the side-missions, especially the races, can become irksome. The fighting is extremely fun on-line and vs but the only complaint is that it's not very detailed and there is no practice mode in which to train. You really need to go through story-mode first to get the hang of the fighting unless you use the vs against a friend and allow each other to figure out the combos and jutsus. The platform aspect, of running around Konoha and the surrounding areas is pretty fun and easy to do. For those looking for a challenging fighting game or a long RPG this isn't the best game. If you are a huge Naruto fan and can over-look the small flaws, it's still a good game worth picking up. Hopefully, a second will be made with a little more care. If they can work out some of the minor annoying aspects, it has potential to be one of the best anime games out there.
