Rise of a Ninja Review

User Rating: 7.5 | Naruto: Rise of a Ninja X360
If you are thinking about purchasing this game, this is not the game to buy, but rather rent. Rise of a Ninja was a decent, OK game. I really like the graphics and animation style of the game. Also, the gameplay was really interesting and fun because you can go around checking the village out. In my case, the fighting part was ok and I like the moves they had, but you really have to get the timing right to execute good, powerful moves like substitution jutsu or combos.

Overall, the game was a lot of fun doing missions and going around completing tasks, but there was a couple of things I was not really satisfied with. It was a lot a fun at the beginning, but later, it got really boring and repetitive after fighting the same ninjas/bandits. If you did not download the exclusive content, you would have problems with the game freezing up on you, where I had that happen to me multiple times with or without the contents. In several forums that I saw had these problems, too.

In the future, I'll think about purchasing/renting Naruto sequel, Broken Bond, once the reviews and previews comes out and hopefully, it's gotten better.
