Naruto: The Broken Bond

New Naruto fighting game for the 360. It’s the sequel to last year’s Rise of a Ninja. Apparently it fixes the sidestep and teleport abuse. My guess is that other stuff is added too. Check it out.

Demo is on Live Marketplace.

is the demo 4 player??

I played the demo and didn’t like it much.

Played the demo alot last night actually and was really impressed. If I was a fan of the series, I would be pissing myself every second and how awesome it was. I’ll be picking this up hopefully soon.

The fights were fun and cool to look at and the graphics were wowzers. It seems like anime game are finally gonna not suck.

I couldn’t teleport at all in the demo ;_;

There seemed to be less ridiculous hitstop than in the first game to me. The tagging feature didn’t seem very interesting either. Maybe when it gets cheaper I’ll get it.

The Hokage fight was the Bomb!!

I played the fuck out of the first one lol. Game was so broke yet so much fun(omg gaara damage was sick lol)

Will most likely pick this up as a guilty pleasure and the game looks gorgeous.

I also tried the demo and wasn’t terribly impressed.

As a fighting game, the first game was little more than a distraction. As a sandbox platformer, it was top notch. The demo leads me to expect the exact same for the sequel. Good enough for me.

Naruto: Ninja Storm is a pretty great game. I looks like high-level play is going to be a huge rock-paper-scissors guessing game, but the level that I was playing at was fun.

I don’t know about the game, but I hate the demo. There isn’t a practice or versus mode…

I put down all the money to pre-order so I just have to pick it up, but my 360 got hit by the RRoD just a week ago. =/

The demo was pretty damn fun to be honest. I see myself buying this in the near future.

The end of the demo was epic. Sarutobi is the shiz

loved rise of a ninja. it pretty much brought me into naruto. can’t wait to play the second part now.

they should have included Hinata in the multiplayer, cause I know if they make another game,
they will skip the filler arcs before SHippuden, and therefore we would never see Hinata’s
Shugohakke Rokuyuu Yonshou in a Ubisoft Naruto game,

so they should of made the Episode 151 version of Hinata playable in this game.

besides I hear Shino is in this game’s multiplayer, even though he didn’t go fight the
Sound Five like Kiba, so why not Hinataaaaaa??!!
even UNS has her playable.

Honestly, Hinata was overrated when she was younger.
Some white-pupiled stalker wouldn’t be seen as cute to the average person.
Now she’s just ignored.
