GameShark | Xbox 360 | News | Naruto: The Broken Bond; 360 Exclusive Confirmed

Today at E3, Ubisoft announced the development of Naruto: The Broken Bond, the sequel to Naruto: Rise of a Ninja and the second game under the licensing agreement with TV TOKYO Corporation and SHUEISHA Inc. Naruto: The Broken Bond, a game based on the world-renowned Naruto anime series, is exclusive to the Xbox 360 and will be available for Christmas 2008.

Building on the success of Ubisoft’s Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, this sequel features Naruto, who has now evolved into a well-respected Ninja, but his new status and abilities trigger the envy of his best friend and Ninja teammate, Sasuke. The enemy of the village, Orochimaru, takes advantage of the situation and convinces Sasuke to leave his friends and village in order to join his evil clan and become more powerful.

With the help of his Ninja friends, Naruto goes on a quest to retrieve Sasuke and save him. Naruto: The Broken Bond is also the only Naruto video game, other than Naruto: Rise of a Ninja that features an online multiplayer mode which allows players to compete against others in an online tournament mode.

If NHL 2k9 were the only hockey game on the market it’d be an easy buy for any fan of the hottest game on ice. But even with exemplary competition on the shelf, this game still more than holds its own.
