Overview
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is an action adventure game for the Xbox 360 with high emphasis on fighting and platforming mechanics, like with most Naruto games, it features cel-shaded graphics. The game was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, making it the first Naruto game to be developed by a non-Japanese company. The game is specifically based on the English dubbed version of the anime. The game was released in 2007. A sequel titled Naruto: The Broken Bond was released in the following year.
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja consists of two major gameplay modes: The first is a 3D action-adventure mode that takes place from the beginning of the series to the end of the Invasion of Konoha arc (episodes 1-80 of the anime) where you explore the environment, and do predominantly platforming and racing based tasks to earn money for upgrades and progress the story. It features gameplay similar to that of a 3D platformer, like jumping acrobatically from rooftop to rooftop or racing through checkpoints. In this mode when combat is initiated the game swaps to a more traditional 2D fighting game set-up of combos and special moves, many of which are acquired as the game progresses.
Rise of a Ninja was released in 2007. Ubisoft has also released a free 60MB download, which includes a Japanese voice option, the ability to change the in-game voices to Japanese, while still keeping the English subtitles.
The game received "favorable" reviews as reported by video game review aggregator Metacritic.
