#811 Naruto:Rise of a Ninja [360]
9th 360 game finished
43rd game finished in 2008

Glitchy and Crashy if you download any dlc for this game without it…still crashes but not as much and glitches fade away. Naruto is a standard Ubisoft title, it seems like half a game and never beta tested.
The fighting can be easily turned into long never ending combos, and if you head online thats all you’ll see. Naruto is hard to control, the graphics are greatand provide the laugh that every random encounter features a guy with a bandana only covering his nose. The music is straight from the show and used perfectly, one of the few things done correct in this game.
The real problem is it tries desperately to follow a story then sees something shiny and cuts out huge slabs of it. The entire game can be summed up as fighting to slow you down from finishing it quickly, pointless races to struggle controlling Naruto, and doors requiring you to stop to watch an overly long animation.
If you are an achievement whore play Naruto for the easy 480-650 and pretend it never existed. If you aren’t run like hell from this one. I give it a 62.5% rating
