As for me, most probably I'll be buying it. Just because... its naruto! hehehe!

my copy arrived from PA the other day. played around 2hrs of the game already

i must say, its very well done. and of course, if youve read the manga, youll definitely register with the sequence of the story

the leaf village is greatly developed and its awesome to explore all the nooks and crannies. wished there are more activities to do apart from the little challenges (delivering ramen/hide and seek/racing etc.) and collecting coins. its like gta, but not that many missions/perks available

for the fighting part, for me, its still button mashing. im not good at pulling the combos. the jutsu mechanics is perfect, youll feel like making real jutsus with the analog sticks

yeah, jiraiya and sarutobi (the hokage), plus 2 extra fight arenas, are up on marketplace for 500 points. theres a trial version as well that'll work for 3 times play

anyway, to anyone who doesnt know yet, if you head to the "exclusive content", you can get shikamaru for free. yeah, shikamaru! imho, hes the next coolest dude in naruto next to kakashi
