Description: Taking place as soon as the other game (Rise of a Ninja) ends, with Orochimaru’s attack on the village and the Hokage’s sacrificial death, this game takes on a darker atmosphere than the previous game, with Naruto frantically trying to rescue his friend, and Sasuke dealing with his inner turmoil. The beloved mini-games from the first game return with some improvements, and the fighting system from the first game also returns, with improvements to that, as well.

Our thoughts: I’m sad to admit this, but I haven’t gotten around to playing this yet. I have played the demo for it, and the demo was REALLY good, but I just keep forgetting to get it.. I’ll fill you in on what I know about it, though. Like the description says, it starts immediately where the first game leaves off and ends with Naruto’s battle with Sasuke. The fighting game mechanics have been improved in this one, as has the platforming and the mini-games. This is the definitive Naruto game on Xbox 360, so if you don’t have this, GET IT! You won’t be disappointed. In fact, I think I’m going to order this after I get finished with this post.. I can’t believe I kept forgetting to get it. In case you’re interested in Metacritic stats, this one is highly acclaimed in reviews. Check out their site for more details.
