Story: I'm not going to spoil anything on the actual story that is not told in the beginning cutscene, but if you have seen the anime, it goes from the beginning to the end of the Chunin exams. Pretty much, you start as a ninja (or "shin obi" as thy are sometimes called) living in a ninja village. The ninja you play as is named Naruto, but he is not a normal ninja. He has a demon imprisoned inside of him (a nine-tailed fox to be more specific). Everyone knows it, and hates you for it. Despite oppression, your goal remains to become the strongest ninja in the village, aka. "the Hokage". But before you can do that, you must start at the bottom and work yourself up. Pros: The main city is very dynamic in that, from the beginning, you can go anywhere you want. It's just that, you can't always get to where you want without new abilities. At the beginning, you limited to the streets and some low rooftops, but by the end, the tallest buildings are for your scaling pleasure. I have seen the anime, and I thought it would have a failure or a battle system (like most games based on animes have), but the battle system is actually very fun. They have plenty of moves, and the jutsu system makes for an innovative touch to a tradition Mortal Kombat style battle system. It also follows the rock-solid story of the show, which I find just as enjoyable to play as to watch. *Some people don't really like cell shading in video games, but with Naruto's unique graphics style, I think it compliments the game well* Cons: Achievements for this game are really hard to get. One achievement is to defeat your trainer, Kakashi, which is almost impossible to do if you are new to the battle system. other achievement are just really repetitive. For example, doing all the Ramen delivery missions, which can be fun, but get really old since all the people you deliver to are generic models who say generic phrases. Being a Naruto fan, I wish I could use jutsus like the "Shadow clone jutsu" wherever I want to, and have the clones follow me around. Or walk around in "Sexy jutsu" form. But, unfortunately, you can only uses these in specific areas or in battle. Also, the game can be glitchy at times. Once I walked through a building and could only see black, but that doesn't happen too often, so I wouldn't worry about it. Overall, I would say this is good game that both Naruto fans and casual gamers can enjoy. It is a good game, but doesn't quite meet the expectations a fan of Naruto would like to see. Thats why this game gets a 4 out of 5. Good playing. ;)Vollständige Rezension lesen
I was surprised at how well this game was made. Naruto PotN is a cross between a adventure rpg and a fighting game. The graphics are really well done, the controls are tight and although the gameplay can get little repetive overall it is good fun that kept me entertained until the end. The story covers the basics from episode 1 thru episode 80 of the show and the single player mode takes about 8 hours or so to finish. It also has a fight mode for online and offline which adds some playtime. It is a kid friendly game aside from one sequence involving a perverted ninja who likes to stare at young girls but even that is very tame. I was not really a fan of naruto before I got the game because I hadnt really watched the show but now I am really interested in playing other naruto games and watching the anime series. Overall I would rate this game an 8 out of 10.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is Title is a nice change to what we are used to, I love it, of course there is so much more I would have like them to include in this title closer to the Shippuden (import games) But for a first original 360 title, I will take it! The only Overly annoying part I found that just made me want to retire this early on was that retarded race in the leaf village that you had to follow checkpoints and not miss a beat, Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but other than that it's a great additon to the Naruto series of games! If you can, try Naruto Shippuden Accel 2,(Import Ps2) Naruto Clash of Ninja 4 (Import Gamecube)Or Naruto Shippuden Ninja Tisen Ex2,(Import Wii) These are Kick a@#!
I am a Naruto fan, so when my brother borrowed this game from his friend I started to play it. I unfortunately didn't know that if a game is playing in your Xbox DON'T STAND IT UPRIGHT!!! needless to say we had to get a new one. Before the game got ruined: I love it, it follows the story line up to the fight with Garra. It has a story mode, fight mode and Xbox live mode. I don't have Xbox live so I haven't used that one. Story mode you play as Naruto, run around the leaf village, jump on buildings and help people out. Of course you also get story line ninja missions too! With fight mode you get to do one on one battles, you can play against the Xbox or your friend. All in all: PROS: You can play by your self or with somebody. Cut scenes are actually clips from the anime. CONS: You only get about 7-8 characters in fight mode. The game is kinda short, if you know your way around you can beat it in under 15 hours. You don't get to go into buildings. Achievements don't give you many gamer points. I fully recommend this game! Sorry about any and all misspellings. Enjoy the game!Vollständige Rezension lesen
If you're a fan of the Naruto anime, you're in for a treat with this game. It has good combat gameplay, it incorporates all of the important elements from the anime, it has all of the important characters relevant to the episodes that it covers, and you play in a very well done environment that you would expect to play in. Plus the game has fantastic gameplay and visuals. Also, if you watch the anime but have never played a Naruto game before, this game is quite literally THE perfect one to start with. In "story mode" it starts off from the very beginning of the original Naruto anime. I've seen a lot of reviewers complaining that the game doesn't cover the whole anime. Of course it doesn't! That is beyond the scope of one single game to cover. All of the important arcs/episodes up to and including the Chunin Exam ARE included in this game, and it's enough. If you want to play through the entire anime, then get The Broken Bond. It's also made by Ubisoft and it picks right up where this one leaves off. Stop complaining that this game cuts the series short! If one game covered the entire series, the gameplay would be worse, the content would have to be cut down, and the story would be even more abridged than it already is. Making 2 games to cover the whole series was the RIGHT thing to do. The game is not "too short" or lacking in content either, as other reviewers have said. Just playing through Story Mode and doing nothing but the main missions takes around 20 hours. Doing the side missions and collecting the items easily adds another 10+ hours. Playing in Fight Mode or sparing with characters in Story Mode takes even more time. If you complain about the game being too short, it's because you're only doing the bare minimum. Lots of reviewers are also complaining that the story that is covered is abridged. This is true, but who cares? This is a video game. If you want the whole story, watch the anime. If you're playing this game and haven't seen the anime, but then you complain that the game doesn't tell the whole story, your frustration is your own fault. If you care about the story, it should be obvious that you should WATCH THE ANIME BEFORE YOU PLAY THE GAME. This game is not 80 episodes of anime. It's a GAME BASED ON AN ANIME. An abridged story is to be expected. At least the IMPORTANT story arcs are all included and are done WELL. The video clips in the game come directly from the anime, so again, if you're still complaining about lack of story, stop playing the game and go watch the show. Now that I've spent all this space trying to swat down bad reviews, I can actually review the game. :) I appreciate several things about this game. First of all, I'm glad that for the most part, the game is open-ended. You can control Naruto to go wherever you want. I was particularly impressed at the detail given to Leaf Village! It's incredible. You've got Naruto's favorite Ramen shop, a weapons shop, scroll shop, people to talk to, your comrades, and lots of other things scattered throughout the village. There's also a great map complete with clear markers and a complete legend. It's a prime example of an open-ended game done well. And yes, the areas OUTSIDE the village are open-ended as well. Most games based on shows are NOT open ended like this - and if they are, it's usually not done well. So this was a pleasant surprise for me. I'm out of characters, so I'll try to make a seperate post to finish this review.Vollständige Rezension lesen
