Ubisoft sent us what could really well be the last trailer for Naruto: Rise of a Ninja since the game is going to be released in the next days all over the world. Count on us for some videos as soon as the embargo is lifted on Thursday.
DAMN STRAIGHT GUYS !!!, I so want this too. It looks sooooo amazingly different than pretty much anything I`ve ever played before. I love the way that the main story turns into a 3-2-1 "FIGHT!" bout with the blink of an eye, resurecting the infamous thoughts such as : "Man I`m so going to whoop your ass now pal!", and "This one is dead-meat!" .rofl.
The cel-shaded style is one of only a handful of titles that I`ve ever played (X111, Killer 7, Jet Set Radio future etc etc), so the change comes as a welcome one as my eyes really are getting dreary from all the shooter/fps/gun gun gun, kill kill kill, repetition that has seemed to plague our consoles for too long.
I'm really looking forward to this, but I see so many people on forums and such saying they aren't buying this now because there isn't any Japanese language support. I don't really mind, even though I've watched it in Jap since it started, but it makes me sad that they'll just give up on the franchise because of low sales...

so does this mean its not on the disc, but will be available as free downloadable content?
Yes. Its most likely down to the fact that they started the recording too late to ship with the game.
Already got the game and its stunning for a Naruto fan and great for your average gamer.
The adventure/platforming sections are really solid with plenty of stuff to do and places to explore. The fighting part is alot deeper than I expected. I was expecting a shallow experience but its more like a mix between a proper beat em up with elements from the Naruto GC games.
Graphics are really great as you can see from the trailer. The Jutsu's are really fun to learn and use. The story goes upto around ep 80 but there's plenty of side quests and extra stuff to do to make this game last well over 12 hours.
My only negatives are the fact they use some fmv's from the actual anime, the US edited dubbed version. They are rather low quality and look quite bad when playing this game at 720p and are in 4:3 format meaning they are in a border, which looks slightly cheap. Perhaps would have been better to create there own cut scenes using the in-game engine.
Apart from that im really loving it and there's some fun achievements as well. Also, the first time you go into Kyubi mode will blow your mind. You can also go into Sasuke's curse seal mode. :)
"Perhaps would have been better to create there own cut scenes using the in-game engine."
Nhãaaa... There probably isn't a beter Master for it than the SD version of the series, so it's the better they probably could do, but every... i say everyone needs to see the chuunin fight gaara vs. rock lee. Pre-rend. Cutscene of it just wouldn't be same. Sooooooo Awesome! :D
The actual Video feed of the anime's they are using is awful, looks like it was taken from a compisite feed or something, as the colour bleed and shimmering is really bad.
They could have at least used some devent video footage, and I also think that it would have looked a lot better if it had been done all in real time, you don't get to see much of the Gaara vs Rock Lee fight either.
