Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is a video game for the Xbox 360 that is currently under development by Ubisoft Montreal. The game will be specifically based off the English dubbed version of the anime Naruto, and is set to be released in North America in October 2007. The option to use the original Japanese voice actors will be included in the game. According the June 2007 edition of Monthly Shonen Jump, this game will include both an action-adventure single-player mode and versus multiplayer. The newly released trailer also hints toward online play with Xbox Live.

So far, it is the only Naruto game to be developed and published by a non-Japanese company.

The game itself is a RPG, where Konoha will serve as a main hub to access various missions players can go on. The main storyline will take place from the beginning of the series to the end of the Invasion of Konoha arc, with included sidequests. It will feature elements from the Prince of Persia series, like jumping acrobatically from rooftop to rooftop, as well as having one-on-one brawls much like the Naruto: Clash of Ninja series. Like with most Naruto games, it will feature cel-shaded graphics.

The game will also allow online versus multiplayer via Xbox live, enabling you to play with your friends. According to a video interview on Xboxyde.com, the game will also have downloadable content, hinting towards new characters.

The only reason why I am going to get an Xbox!:D
I've played 2 Naruto games on ps2, but non are as good as this one!
It'll be out in October, so might get it on Jan:hyper:

this naruto game is different !
its made by UBISOFT MONTREAL which is the same team that made PRINCE OF PERSIA:THE SANDS ON OF TIME so it WONT be your typical crappy anime-based game ! ;)
its an X360 exclusive btw ! :)

Lol! I don’t think I’ll be telling lil bro about this one..
He’ll want an xbox lol
And bro.. he’s got the power to nag ppl into an early grave xD
He’s been asking about a new Naruto game..
but there's Naruto Shippudden: Narutimate Accel for the PS2 right?.. i guess he'll settle for that.

I always get naruto games and regret it. I got Uzamaki Chronicles, Its crap, I didnt Like it, even though I really like the Naruto Anime.

You'll never regret on this one;)

the only problem i can see with this is that this naruto will be using the dubbed english voices :p you guys should hear those voices to know how terrible they are... i know i hate them :p

no its confirmed that the game will have dual language support !
you can play in japanese and have english menus and subtitles !
hecj even jrpgs have dual in next-gen consles so an action/adventure is even easier !
