 Fun X360 Pastime April 13, 2008
Faithful to the hit Japanese cartoon, this game is a lot of fun for 1 to 2 players either off line or online. It can be played as a story and as a 3D fighting game. Some of the achievements can only be unlocked by playing online as a fighting game while others can be unlocked by playing off line in its story mode. It has a few bugs.
A great game for Naruto fans April 5, 2008
This game is about the closest you can get to living out the earlier part of the anime series/manga that you can compared to the other naruto games. While the others introduced story elements into their games as well, this one really feels like a sandbox sort of feel by giving you real-time travel throughout the naruto world. It's pretty big and there's lots to do to keep yourself busy and entertained just between all the mini-games and side quests alone.
The combat though is pretty unique how they handle it, and makes you actually do some work to pull off a special attack, but once you get the hang of it is pretty easy to do. There are even little mini-games within the special attacks too to keep you on your toes and give the opponent a chance to counter.
The storyline pretty much starts out from the very beginning and goes up to just past the chunnin exams, in case any fan was wondering. It's not a very lengthy game, but that depends on how much of the extra side-quests and everything that you do. For anyone who was wondering they do have downloadable content, including japanese voice-overs along with new characters for multiplayer. It's a solid game that's not too hard for newcomers to these sort of games but definitely gives those with some experience a chance to shine.
The multiplayer is about the only thing I can nitpick about, and that too mainly with the online part as a lot of people tend to be pretty good at it so it's hard to find someone your own skill level. The AI itself is pretty brutal even in the easiest setting for beginners. That and the faces are static during combat (ie. their facial expressions don't change and their lips don't move).
For a Naruto fan I would definitely recommend this game, it's visually gorgeous in HD, and completes a true Naruto experience. For newcomers to the Naruto franchise, it's a great way to get involved in the story, although I do recommend reading up on the manga too. I expect to see this series continue on through the story arc in future games which I look forward to picking up.
Anime to Video Game at it's best March 20, 2008

Just got to play this game yesterday. (Yeah. I bought it for a while, but my 360 had the 3 red light hardware failure. Microsoft was great at getting it fixed. Not mad at Microsoft. Only inconvenience was not being able to play 360 games for a 3 weeks).
These are my first impressions of the game.
Very interesting and dynamic. Story line follows the anime VERY well. I'm happy with the graphics during gameplay, but the video clips are pretty low res. Only got to some of the mini games. Not very challenging yet and slightly boring start. But I expect it to get much better as the story progresses. Controls are great. Love being able to go through the Leaf Village. It's like RPG meets fighting.
Highly recommend this game.
Great Naruto Adventure Fighting Game March 5, 2008
Naruto Rise Of A Ninja is an extremely fun and entertaining game for all Naruto fans.The storyline follows with Naruto on the day of the genin exam all the way to the chunin exams where you as Naruto will have to fight Neji And Gaara at the end Of course during the game play you will also have to fight a couple of other ninjas along the way.The controls are pretty simple and strait forward as you play Naruto you will have to gain experience points as in the way of doing small side quest in the village as well as missions with your team as you gain points you will be able to upgrade both you're combat moves as well as you're jutsus and also you're health points will go up as well.You will be able to fight a few ninja in the village to help you learn you're combat moves as well as trying at the jutsus inside the vilage you will also have a couple of race games to try in beat the time are play hideNseak with Konohamaru.I don't have a hard drive for my xbox 360 yet so I can't really tell you what you get with this game on Xbox live some people say you can download the japanese voice actors if you want to play the game with their voices instead but wither or not you want to do that is up to you regardless even while playing just the story mode of the game you will feel like you are in the leaf village with Naruto.On a side note you will get to play against other players if you want by choosing the versus mode in the main menu So I just say if you are a Naruto fan a great game awaits you..
Best Naruto Game Period February 23, 2008

If you are even slightly a fan of the Naruto series then you can not pass this game up. This game has action adventure, rpg and fighting in it and it works flawlessly. I must also point out that it has one of the most satisfying game endings. I can't wait for part 2 and after playing this game neither will you.
