![]() Hit the jump to read our review of Naruto:Rise of a Ninja.Īs with any licensed game, anime or not, gamers want to know how accessible a title is to the uninitiated. Of course, there’s still one-on-one fighting action, online gameplay, and even a nifty ranked online tournament, but the platform/sandbox-ish story mode is where this game shines. ![]() This is a total retelling of the anime/manga story line. ![]() Naruto:ROAN is a fighting game at its core, but Ubisoft has shifted the focus to the game’s story mode. The result is not only the best Naruto title available, but also one of the best anime licenses out there as well as one of the most visually outstanding titles for the Xbox 360 yet. I began the review process expecting to play a visually updated next-gen rehash of prior Naruto fighting titles, but found that Ubisoft had packed a lot of love into this game. This all works to the favor of Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, giving this ninja game the element of surprise. ![]() In the past, there hasn’t been much in the way of licensed titles that would appeal to the gaming masses, and much of that has to do with the fact that little effort has been put into widening the appeal of these titles. It’s understandable that the expectations for a game based on an anime license wouldn’t normally be set very high, especially for gamers that aren’t anime fans.
