Re: Naruto: Rise of the Ninja (360)

Just heard this game will feature an option for the Japanese voice-actors as well as Americans. Great news for me.

I've been hoodwinked.

Re: Naruto: Rise of the Ninja (360)

Anyone have any links where you don't have to register? Gimme even a youtube link. I need to get caught up on the story.

I think Naruto was fighting a guy at a bridge or something.

You are probably talking about Naruto fighting Haku. Great episodes for that fight. Try http://www.Crunchyroll.com You have to register but it is free and a great way to get caught up on the Naruto and Naruto Ship. episodes.

The game features all of the original voice actors from the popular television series, including a Japanese language track specifically for the purists. Although developed in North America by Ubisoft, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja seems aimed directly at Japanophiles everywhere. Beyond the inclusion of this Japanese language track, everything in Rise of a Ninja has been directly monitored and approved by Studio Pierrot, the creators of the animated series.

Crunchyroll used to be so much better, than they started taking down a bunch of the anime they had for reasons of thim being liscenced or some crap like that (basically it was coming over to America) but they left Bleach and Naruto up.

I'll probably put this game on my Christmas list with the likes of Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4.

Re: Naruto: Rise of the Ninja (360)

More impressions please!!

(My Xbox got the Red rings of fire last week. I won't be able to play this game for at least 2 weeks!)

[eDotd]

Re: Naruto: Rise of the Ninja (360)

I played for about an hour yesterday, here's a quick list of some of the things i noticed.

Pros:
Camera - Big issue in any RPG and they got it down right. You can move it around freely with the right-stick and it follows Naruto at a good angle that allows you to see and do whatever your trying to do.

Fighting - The combat system is great, although I'm still getting my *** handed to me in every fight. Each player has at least 2 jutsu's they can use in a fight and several combos which can be accessed via combo list.

Combos are done with the X & Y buttons. You can throw kunai's with RB, and jump with A. You can also create a clone of your self by timing your opponents attack and pressing B at the right moment.

For the jutsu you have to hold down the LT, then use the sticks to execute the hand signs and then release the LT when your chakra gets to the desired level. There are three levels at which you can release, so I'm assuming that the later you release the more powerful the jutsu. I've only been able to get to the first level so far.

I think that if you liked the fighting system in any of the DBZ Budokai games then you'll like it in this game.

Graphics - Not sure what the exact name of the shading or whatever they're using for this game is called, but it looks great. I play on a 24" LCd monitor.

Elements from the Anime - I think Ubisoft tried to include everything from the anime that they could, while making sure it wasn't a direct copy of it. There are several cuts to clips from the anime in some situations which is cool, but sometimes I wish I could've done what I'm being shown. They also have the themes/songs from the anime in the game.


Voice Acting - This is a con for me, since I still haven't found out how to switch the the Japanese VA's, but for people who only watch this anime dubbed, it should be a pro. The Voice Acting is exaclty how it is in the show, so if you like the english version, you will like the VA.

Cons
Missions - The missions don't really vary from one another. They basically consists of: collect this and bring it back, go to point A and beat him up, training.

Again, I've only played the game for about an hour but I did about 6-7 missions and about 4 of them had me collecting coins and bringing them back.

Framerate - I'd say about 90% of this game is 60FPS, but there are times when I'm picking something up and it hiccups, or drops to about 30 for a second or two. May not be noticable to some people, but it is to me.

Slow beggining - Not really a con, but before you get the double jump and are able to sprint it takes forever to get somewhere. Maybe I just don't have enough patience

Moves/Jutsu outside of combat - Again, probably not really a con, but I was hoping I'd be able to do anything I wanted wherever I was. Lets say I'm running down the street and I want to do Kage Bunshin, I can't. I mean, you can do it outside of battle, but only at distinct locations that require it. Like if you need help breaking something down you can do it with the help of your clones.

The end of battles - AGAIN, probably not a con, but every character has this thing that you can activate right before your about to be beaten. It's like a last resort thing where they just go crazy. It gives your opponent a chance to really do damage and hopefully kill you before you can kill him. It's not like they become invincible, I just think that the player should earn that during the fight. If I completely dominate someone and at the end of the fight they activate that and start whipping my ***, I feel cheated.

Characters - Do you unlock any character over the course of the game? Because there are several missing. No Hinata? No Ten-Ten, Gai, Shino, Choji, Ino, Temari, Kankuro, SHIKAMARU?!

Again, I've only played for an hour so some of my pros and cons might change as I discover new things and learn more about the game, but overall I'm satisfied with it so far.

"The Voice Acting is exaclty how it is in the show"

Not really they are using different english actors for some characters in the game.
