I've only watched a couple of the shows for this franchise and never got into it... the whiny Naruto does me in.
But I really don't consider Naruto much of a ninja series/game at all... more along the lines of DBZ with fancier hand gestures (aka jitsu?).

If you can manage to watch the subtitled japanese language episodes, I think you'd be much more inclined to like the show.
I totally agree, the english voice for Naruto espeically is annoying. The series is pretty cool though, in a Bleech (episodic) way.

definitely gonna check out this game

Yeah, I'm more of a Bleach fan myself. However, this games looks SO good.

Same here. I'm huge Bleach fan (Ep.184 was awesome thought) now back to the topic. The game look pretty cool so I'm getting even if I'm Naruto fan after all.

Danm English voices are so annoying, THANK GOD they have an option for Japanese voices with subtitles.
deusmecha @ Aug 21st 2008 2:35PM
The english VAs sound alright to me.
Game_playa @ Aug 21st 2008 2:42PM
Maybe it's just me cause I've been watching the JP version for quite some time so whenever I see the English version, I'm very annoyed. Maybe it's just cause I'm not used to it though.

The english VA's are some of the best in the business, so you can't say they didn't try. They sound pretty awesome to me because I didn't hear any of the japanese VA's. So I guess it's what you get use to.
I'm just glad they didn't change voices mid season, like another popular anime I won't mention.

Naruto's voice is meant to be be annoying in Jap, Eng, Spa....It's the reason people find him annoying.
deusmecha @ Aug 21st 2008 2:34PM
Adventure mode was confirmed a while back, but it's nice to see it in action. Looks pretty fluid.
Also, I'm hyped that Kimimaro is playable.
Can't wait to play it this fall. =D
lorddshadow @ Aug 21st 2008 5:31PM
kimimaro came as a surprise to me. kisame and kimimaro are my favorites. just because of that and my love of naruto, i will get this game.
John @ Aug 21st 2008 2:42PM
What an epic anime game.
Sagge @ Aug 21st 2008 2:47PM
Dear God. Why are you playing with American dubbs? Ugh.
If this game didn't have Japanese voices, I wouldn't buy it.
deusmecha @ Aug 21st 2008 2:53PM
Cause they're not weeaboos and can appreciate when American VAs do a decent job?

Rather than bitch and complain about it why not just go and learn enough to watch the series in RAW?
I have hundreds of anime and I mostly watch dubs. You can't say that there are no good dubs in fact a few dubs are better in English than Japanese. Example GTO is just not done justice by his Japanese voice.
I always hated when they said that this was some of the worst dubbing they've ever heard... they apparently aren't One Piece fans. The crackle of the crap recording equipment they used made the terrible voice acting almost impossible to hear. ESPECIALLY when coupled by an entirely redone soundtrack which is both generic AND completely destroys all emotion in the show. Don't forget about the countless episodes they removed (nearly 1/3 of the series)
So just be glad that you have a choice, that it could be worse, and that you're getting a pretty good dub. Either quit complaining, or learn the language and go raw.

I'm won over and psyched. I love the wall running, double assists and general fluidity.
It's an impressive evolution on many levels.
And the Dub is to be avoided...
wow @ Aug 21st 2008 2:57PM
wow you wouldnt have bought a game because of english voices sagge man you my friend are lame and a moron people looks for the weakest excuses ever wow
Chris @ Aug 21st 2008 2:50PM
Best Cell Shading Evar!!! And the demo was sweet...definitely buying it!
drdre74 @ Aug 21st 2008 2:59PM
It will never get played with the english voice overs on my end. I hate them. The game looks great besides that one flaw.
Gambit07 @ Aug 21st 2008 3:09PM
Love the graphics, anyone know if this looks better then the 360 one?
tom @ Aug 21st 2008 4:26PM
Haha, this is certainly much better in every regard. Just look at the clean cell shading and fluid animation. It's like playing the best fights of the anime all the time.
Strange or off key models would be the exceptions for minor dialog rather than too frequent in the ubisoft production.
Anthony @ Aug 21st 2008 3:41PM
Wow, you guys wont like the game because of english voices? Thats pathetic. Just because you're not used to it doesn't make it bad. Im not used to the japanese voices but i dont complain when they are available in a game or when I watch it in japanese.
yunusboz @ Aug 21st 2008 3:52PM

Gambit07 @ Aug 21st 2008 6:17PM
they have one on the 360, that's the one I was comparing it to, which tom answered me already.
Ether02 @ Aug 22nd 2008 11:29PM
Wow, I finally found other people that like the english dub. I thought that I was the only one lol ,but I also like the one piece for kids dub even though its sacrilege to say so :) Im just not a sub elitist and are more use to the enlgish version b/c its the first version that I started watching.
Ryder @ Aug 31st 2008 8:54PM
da eng dub iz hype its better den da jap dub
lllusionx @ Sep 10th 2008 3:48PM
i like the mixtures of both languages, i watched the english first but then i started watching all the rest in japanese, however, when reading the subtitles i imagine that its in english so i dont even notice it sometimes.
