This was a great game, it was just lacking ALOT, i.e. that being the jutsus, the characters, and the overall length of where the story stopped. Limits on a video game are understandable, if only to add a bit of a challenge to it, but it should have been that as you used the abilities and techniques you would have been able to eventually use them easier, and even master them(i.e. walking(erm skipping) over water and walking on vertical surfaces(well more of a clumsy run). All characters should have had at least been playable in their own storylines (naruto may be the main character, but what helped make naruto so great as an overall was that each character was developed with a past, present struggle, and a future, this is what made many ppl identify with and develop a favorite character or hate one or a few in particular hell even Kimimaru was given a story, and he died a few episodes afta he was introduced). A blind person could see that the jutsus were lacking as far as most of the characters had two (an attack justu and a support one basically, and for some it was just chakra concentration). Lastly for this synopsis of this game, the show is long as all HELL, it has two seasons that spans over the length of damn near four hundred episodes, that happen to be growing in length as its based on the manga and i havent seen an end in sight yet) it had arcs that easily spanned 15+ episodes which is longer than some animes have even touched, and could easily rival inuyasha or the entirety of the dragonball saga (the first, Z and GT not to mention AF is being developed right now which doesnt look half bad) the game could have stood to be a little longer. In conclusion Ubisoft did a great job with the game, which wasnt the “ultimate” game they put it out to be, but it could be said that they have laid the ultimate blueprint for the years(and i do mean years, seriously, this anime is long as hell fo real american fans who just watch toonami for their anime probably would have kids before its all ova wit and ya wont be half way thru tha series ya digg ) to come, and have set the marketplace, retail stores where xbox live point cards are sold, Xbox in general up for a lot of income, and probably themselves with bocoups of risidual income. BTW, Itachi and Kisame should have been unlockable from the original game itself in my and many others opinion, but then again Jiraiya wasnt so um yeah lol

There is definitely Shikamaru, Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Choji and Temari. Shikamaru can be gotten from the ‘exclusive content section in the main game menu (Free). Sarutobi and Jiraiya come with 2 new arenas which you get from the xbox marketplace in downloadable content (500 or 600pts I think). Also in the downloadable content is the free Japanese voices. Temari and Choji are definitely gonna be out but I’m not sure when nor do I know how. Either way they aren’t out yet, give it 2 more weeks at the most. Btw ‘fourth sealed naruto’…rage mode is actually a big help to most ppl so it’s only fair o have it on all characters. And true it’s a bummer about the rasengan but that came in after Naruto fought Gaara and is in the recovering Sasuke arc. It should definitely be in ROAN 2 if there is one.

they should have made the game longer way too short now theres nothing to do and the jutsus could have been alot better. seems like the people that made this game were rushing and everyone shouldnt have a rage mode but i really wanted to use the rasegan and play in shippuuden

all i know is that Shikamaru,Sautobi,Jiraiya and Temari r in. But i think you haf 2 pay 4 Jiraiya n Sarutobi. But u can get Jiraiya n Sarutobi 4 trial but u only can use them 4 3
times. temari n shikamaru u juz need 2 link to an ubisoft account.

I believe that this is a great start for naruto on the xbox 360. Meaning I hope that Ubisoft will blossom this game into a franchise.
