Here is our first look at Playstation 3’s first Naruto game simply named Naruto: Playstation 3 Project. From the looks of it, it appears to be a 3D fighter, but with awesome jitsu instead of technical combos that require ‘mad’ skill. Despite its new pretty overcoat, it appears as if the story has restarted once again from the beginning; much like its competitor Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. Though I think this game will at least cover the entire first part up until the time skip, which is a first in a Naruto game. What do you think, is it time to get a Playstation 3?

The snippets of the game looked cool. It's a shame Naruto, the Dragonball franchises, Yugi-Oh and Pokemon are such absolute diarrhea though.
It's too bad that such throw-away turds are in the mainstream markets of the west because the aforementioned shows are a huge discredit to the anime medium.
Where's my Cowboy Bebop PS3/360 game?
Jubei Kibagami could rightfully disembowel any Hokage from that lame Naruto universe. The woman that voices the eponymous character in that show needs to learn to stop shouting because she is bloody annoying!
When did all this craptactular anime franchises flood the markets? When's the good stuff going to step up to the forefront?
Well, I've said it before, but I love Naruto games because they are what neither the manga nor the anime are. The manga is static as hell and the anime is a shame in the animation world. The video games is like the anime but fast and interactive.
I don't know about the English dubbing but the Japanese dubbing of the game is not so much about shouting, thank God.
@Resvrgam : maybe if you don't get a Cowboy Bebop game is because the anime is good enough to be self-sufficient. The typical shônen manga/anime ("I must train harder to fight stronger enemies") is so video game-oriented, making video games with those licenses is obvious, because everything is about the action. Cowboy Bebop is more about a story and history has shown that great anime usually don't make great video games (the exception being the Super Robot Taisen serie where they MIX everything. Video games that use only the Evangelion license, for instance...bleh). So no video game about Cowboy Bebop should rather be thought as an evidence of the anime high value.
On a more technical note, the "step aside" move in that PS3 Naruto game makes me think of SoulCalibur, therefore we can suppose that unlike other Naruto games until now, that PS3 game will have a real 3D gameplay. Being more of a 2D fan for fighting games, I'll wait and see...
The graphics are gorgeous though.
I think they should realase a freaking naruto game for the PC also... the consoles are to expensive in my country . A freaking xbox 360 is 16.000.000 bilions lei ,in USD that's 666$ ... LIKE WTF ...that's a little unfair ...isn't it ? and the average wage in my country is 15.000.000 , AND THE FREAKING CONSOLE IS 16.000.000.... LIKE WTF ... how can u buy it whithout starving for a month ?
I've played the Naruto games for the PSP, and I was getting a PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII anyway. Now that I see this, I can't wait to play it. :)
the graphics look incredibly close to the anime, with much better animation of course.
They should take this engine and animate naruto shippuuden with it.
huh? 'mad' skills? The Naruto PS2 games had pretty similar combos (in looks) which were anything but hard to do.
Whoo, made it to the first page. Also it's Scrixx, not Scrizz :P Thanks either way God Len.
To me it doesn't look any better than the 360's Rise of Ninja graphically, and RoN seems to be a lot more open ended (at least from the preview trailer).
@God Len: The Trigun First-Person-Shooter...
that'd be the first FPS ever to say, "You killed the enemy! YOU LOSE!" lol
Looks pretty cool actually. The animations looked good and the action looked fast and intense. Hopefully it will come out on the X360 though (I doubt it).
Why is it that Naruto is one of the only anime licenses to get decent games? Weird.
hey u guys u think it would be a 2 player game like as in they gie u like 30 characters to pick from or something becuse i dont wnana by a 60 dollar game and when i get bored i put it on my shelf and let it dirt up
