The First 10 Minutes: Naruto 360
2007-10-31 22:20:00 by BlimBlim
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja will be released today in the US, and on Friday in Europe, and this time we managed to get some videos out before the actual release. Let's hope this will be more often the case! Anyway, for a half linear and half sandbox game like Naruto nothing less than 5 videos will be necessary to show how everything works, but I'm sure the numerous fans of the series won't mind!
Update: All five videos are now online.

woah. ehh..that looked awesome. I really liked the battle, it looked awesome and sounds equally as good, too bad there's way too many good games coming before the end of the year as it is, can't even get all them but If I'd have the money for this I'd happily pay :)

Gameplay is good! But the voice acting killed the game's overall aspect.

There were supposed to be japanese voice-overs as an option right? Does anyone know if that made it in to the final game?

Confirmed as a "Downlodable Content" planned shortly after the release.
You should just do a Strait Side-quest Play, and do the Main Stuff only, or do it again when the Jap VA arrives.

WTF? When naruto casts kagebunshin the map changes!! It's like a fighting game but with a little story... Didn't like it at all. I thought it was going to be different.

Most developers are realising that us brits and many others prefer the original dialogue and for a game of this calibur, they`d be stupid not to include it.
I have to say that after watching this short film, I`m now drooling at the prospect of playing this very soon.

More than likely picking it up today. I wandered whether I would due to the bad Eng voices, but if anything you can always have a few drinks before playing and laugh your head off at the butchering of anything that was Japanese. Like "Rayman" instead of Ramen ect. Though most of the time your cringing as anyone speaks while sheading girlly tears for them to stop speaking! Hoping for that patch today. And that they have more than one or two dl characters. Like in the 30 range. 8-13 characters for such a series doesnt cut it.

GY guys, I love how you always state "impressions later' and never actually write them. :)

That would be really sad if that game launched without the Japanese voices... The English ones are so awful.

Holy cr@p, I don't follow this anime (except for loads of others), I do know that the fights (when there are :P - I hear there're only fillers)are beautifully animated. And this looks very powerful, it sounds good too except for the voices, but there'll come Japanese voices as Downloadable Contant (after 2 months sigh)

Pretty cool, sadly I don't like Naruto. Also, terrible dub XD. I think I'd rather play the game with the original Japanese voice overs with some English subs. Gahhh terrible. Naruto gives me a headache. XD
Can you be other characters in the game or are you stuck playing as Naruto?
