I watched a couple episodes of Nartuo and it was beyond lame. I can't imagine how they could drag it out for like 200 episodes or however many they've made and still make it interesting, although it seems like the people I know who are into Naruto are the people who basically want to suck the dick of anything that comes out of Japan regardless of how awful it is. Also they like to dress up in cat ears.
Snaileb - I've been doing my best to find out more on the 360 rpg. I'm hoping I'll get some hands-on at TGS next month.
You know how when you get out of a Map on a game, theres either a lot of whiteness or blackness with weird looking shapes sticking out from where the walls used to be? That's pretty much what Naruto is in a nut shell.
i hope they fix the problems that persisted through the GC version which led to broken undefendable moves...
everyone knows that you cant block someones moves if you arent facing them...but did you know that they cant block YOUR moves with your back to them? its ridiculous for moves like gara's sand pillar or kikashis underground grab move...its stayed in so many versions and i hope they finally remove it

I was kindof meh about the whole Naruto thing, but after that marathon they had on CN a few weeks ago, I'm hooked. I'm with the snaileb, cant wait for the 360 version
I used to read the manga than the writer stopped toying with panel size and shape. then he negated an important moment in the series and I quiet in a fit of nerd anger. The game looks and sounds seriously cool, so I'll have to look for it.
@Aerox
The first few episodes are kind of lame, but once they actually get into their first missions, it gets a lot better (and darker). The fight scenes are awesome and actually more often than not involve lots of strategy instead of just straight bashing.

It's about ninja missions. lots and lots of ninja missions and fighting.

I played this game at PAX for a good 20 minutes, and let me say, it is insanely fun. I am definitely gonna pick this up when it comes out. The Naruto 360 game is also really fun, but the Wii game's controls made it seem more fun to me.
Unfortunately GuitarAtomik, the fighting later turns into the writers trying to figure out every different way Naruto can use Rasengan.
My favorite fight is still the duel between Zabuza and Kakashi. A nice mix of actual, you know, hand to hand fighting with special moves here and there.
But apparently Naruto's generation is full of a bunch of overpowered 12 year olds, with every single one of them being prodigies capable of decimating a city.
Yeah, I stopped watching after a while.

I'm more of a Bleach man myself. Ninja and the colour orange (nine tail fox related or not) I just find hard to connect with in Naruto. My patience isn't what it once was for some manga. Bleach is about death and more shit besides, so its more edgy, especially when us westerners find death a hard thing to talk about, let alone deal with or celebrate as apart of life.
Bar that, the Naruto games are good from what I hear (some but not all. In an age when beat em ups aren't made much anymore, its good to see even a manga/anime based once that plays well. I'm looking forward to the 360 Naruto game.

well, at least the bleach game for the wii isn't going to edit its original content out to protect US viewers from spoilers (I think?)...
Naruto is a good watch if you take out the 100+ fillers after the (/begin omigod spoiler) sasuke retrieval arc lol (/end of omigod spoiler).
I had fun with the naruto games on ps2/psp and gc, so this looks like it's gonna be fun too.

@cornelius: I've heard it's still coming uncensored. And I am super stoked for that game. I am going to put swords in people so hard, it is going to be ridiculous.
The English Naruto kinda sucks. It's not just that I like people speaking Japanese better or anything, but the English episodes completely destroy a ton of the scenes.
@Gamechamp
is it the voice actors or the dialogue you have a problem with? the voice acting has a view weak points, but i think the dialogue in english is just as good as the original japanese in a lot of places.
still not sure if i want to play a naruto game, though...i've never even played any of the countless DBZ games, despite being a fan of the series.

@deiga
Yeah. Shippuden has been pretty bad especially on the animation side of things. They're trying to drag the fights out way too long over the episodes and completely ruin them in the process.
Also, yeah. I always wonder why their generation of kids manage to handle adults as easily as they do. Naruto and Sasuke I can understand but the rest...

For the Naruto Anime/Manga. I personally find it much more interesting than the BS that came out ever so constantly with DBZ. It was obvious from the go that Naruto was going to be built to last quite a long while, whereas some anime's are simply built to last a handful *20-40 episodes* then end for good.
Keeping up with the Shippuuden episodes, rather than watching the horrible English Dubs, I can honestly say that the story does indeed pick up more as it goes on. If you want to keep in line with the manga itself, you'll watch the anime up to around 156 and then swap immediately to Naruto Shippuuden.. The anime-only fillers take over from that point, going from episode 157 to 220 before it finally returns to the actual story arc of the manga.
As my final note. If you want to properly judge an anime, at least watch a handful of episodes, not one or two and judge it from there. Some anime shows need time and at least 10 episodes to build on... Also added, if you are critical on being annoyed. Watch the anime with japanese VO. The rediculous add-in of "believe it!" into every other sentence gets extremely annoying in the english VO.

I also agree that Shippuuden is dragging the episodes out far too much. The manga, at this rate, is practically a hundred and some change episodes ahead of the anime. Even the manga was written in that same style, every volume just dragged the fight on further and further for that initial one. Thankfully, the rest in the manga were not so longly drawn out. It was one of my hopes that the anime would speed up the fighting process.
I guess they're afraid of catching up to the manga again. But from what I've heard, they'll never catch up to it at the pace it's going now.
