Naruto Rise of a Ninja is a great game with tonnes to explore and near impossible to put down. The controls are great, and the creative jutsu commands really add to the fun of the game. Not too many annoying cut scenes to spoil the action. I'm only part-way through the game and really enjoying it, the only issue so far is the lack of a map when running around in the town, but you get over that pretty quickly.

This game was fun to an extent. Im a big Naruto fan and this game was enjoyable. Although it became very repetitive and was very short and limited. I have finished the game in 5 hours and 45 minutes. I havent done everything that can be done in the game, it does have side quests (which i have finished about 80% of) and little side activites such as races and ramen delivery, etc.. but even those are the same thing over and over. The quests in this game consist of going to the same areas constantly to retrieve something and fighting the same “bandits” each time. You do get to fight the characters from the story line at some points but its just the once and then its back to the bandits again.

I would recommend this to Naruto fans, i would even expect someone unfamiliar with the seires to find it mildly ammusing. But definately hire before you buy as this game has the life span of a house fly.
