Naruto (xbox360)

So...

Who got it then?

Anyway, this game is very very well excuted. The graphics work extremely well indeed but when you first start playing it, the problem is you have the ability to do absolutely nothing remotely good and you spend the first 2 hours running around, doing small little errands and quests so people within the game like you.

It does feel a bit slow to start off with the rather crap collect this and that quests, but stick with it because once you learn the double jump feature the game then feels like it's starting to get good.

Graphics ... these are awesome and work excellent in relation to bringing the cartoon to the console. The small little things like dust clouds when jumping and the blurring when dashing make it feel like a very polished game.

Controls - I thought this was a brilliant example of a good control system thats been worked out and designed to be easy to use. The controls within the combat system are very easy to pick up, but hard to master with the different jutsu's just a quick dual flick of the analog sticks away.

Music - oodles of it within this game. if you've watched the TV series you'll recognise most of the music from this.

Overall this is an excellent game and should keep even Naruto fans happy

Shame the speech is all in American tho, the Japanse voices sound so much better. There is meant to be Japanese voices for download coming out sometime in future to

I have this on order from Amazon. It said it got dispatched last night.

Should hopefully get it sometime this week.

Can't wait for the JPN Pack, should make this game feel rather awesome.

I've finished it... Well I didn't do "all of it" as I fell asleep but my mate (a naruto fanatic) carried on playing and in total it took roughly 7 hours of gameplay to solve.

I know we've missed quite a few things off so I'm going to restart one weekend and ensure all the tasks for the gamer points are done this time

I want this game, but I think it'll be a while before I get it.

I've got it, need to review it!

Got mine last week, I think it's great although I can't wait for the Japanese audio download to appear. One thing I do find annoying is online most of the people just spam really cheap combos, makes it very difficult to do the Chunin exam challenge.

Mine still hasent actually turned up yet...

Damn the Post Office!

I've noticed this as well, but if you time the defensive moves correctly - you get a brief space where you can counter and kick the living stuffing out of them for playing dirty.

Japanese vocals are now out on the marketplace, free of course, 60Mb which seems very small.
