Naruto: The Broken Bond (Xbox 360, 2008)

Storyline- Since the storyline is based on the anime/manga there’s not much that’s original, BUT it’s a good story. They did rearrange when some things happened, in some cases making the story clearer, they also added in some small story pieces that enhanced the game and story greatly. 20/20
Graphics – Pretty good, but not great, they were above a lot of the games I’ve seen but I kind of wonder about the style choice in animation and texturing, because it did make the characters look a little bit squarer then they should have 9/10
Game play- The controls are a little different from the first (Naruto: Rise of a ninja) but they were greatly improved, you still use Jutsu and move in the same way, but somehow the controls just work better than they did. 15/15
Enjoy ability- This game is a heck of a lot of fun, there is so much to do, you can do missions, some that follow the story some that don’t, you can play mini-games, or you can train your characters, and even race. 20/20
Art direction- Fantastic! Even with the strangely block like faces of characters, and some environments, the towns and cities were done PHENOMENALLY, Konoha (Leaf village) had a great and fitting ruined look to it, and even as the game progress you fix it, although by the end its very minor fixes but still noticeable. I would also like to note that the traps looked incredible, both real and menacing. 10/10
Sound &VA- The sound fit pretty much every situation, and the Voice acting was incredible, it even sounded like the real people from the English show (I’m not sure about the Japanese though) which is an improvement from the first. 10/10
Length- I really don’t know if it took me too long to beat it but it took me 20 hours and 43 minutes at least partially due to the fact that I liked to mess around, just jumping on top of buildings and running into walls cause it was funny, but the game was the right length it covered something like 56 episodes (Episodes 79-135) But you can keep playing after you beat it. 15/15
Total-99/100
Bottom line- If you like Naruto you have to rent this game, maybe even buy it, but if you don’t like Naruto this game probably change your mind.
