Game Overview

Experience the Naruto series, the beginning to the end, for the first time on Xbox360. 12 years ago, a fearsome 9-tailed demon fox attacked the village of Konoha. Many ninjas fell during the battle until the most powerful one sealed the monster into the body of a newborn... Naruto! Now Naruto has grown up to a hyperactive ninja-in-training who’s more interested in pranks than schoolwork. However he’s determined to become the greatest ninja ever!

Despite certain underdeveloped elements, this is the most ambitious and accessible Naruto game yet.

Forget the other Naruto games; Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is the best one of the bunch ... believe it.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Once you get past the first hour, the single-player campaign becomes a real treat. And the combat system, while not deep, is a lot of fun.
