As promised by the great Driftwood yesterday I've recorded quite a few videos of the preview build Naruto: The Broken Bond on the 360. The game certainly seems quite polished as is, very few bugs to be seen. Ubisoft definitely listened to the fans of the series and worked a lot on the facial expressions of the characters, but it's still not really convincing. Still, it's a *big* improvement compared to ROAN.
Update 4: Last video is up.

Commented on 2008-11-06 13:13:34That shows some more combat+cutscene after the point where the demo ends. Just look at the characters, the movements, the grabbing of the hokages , the talking... all seem so quick without subtle movement and smoothness.
Still very robotic, wich is a tad dissapointing: like showing us a raw diamond, they could still improve on with a little more effort... buy some japanese animators.
Commented on 2008-11-06 14:11:37It´s very nice to listen tracks from the anime (Preview part 2 says all, that track was incredible on the first naruto season)
Nice to listen the original japanese voices too.
Graphics are a little bit better, and combat seems to be more worked. I didn´t like Rise of a Ninja, but the second part... maybe I´ll give it a try.

But I concur, to a full-fledge experience its best to play TBB and it will probably be the "better game" once you get the full picture as the gametrailers review of UNS shows it faults.
But for a casual buddy versus playtime, there is no doubt: UNS all teh way.
One strage thing i read was that TBB has rights to the shows OST in some way, so the music we see on the demo "Orochimaru Theme - Naruto OST I" is said to be exclusive to TBB and so on with all, or some other tunes. We can see in these blimblim videos that TBB is full with the show's emblematic music, but does it stop UNS from getting the same treatment?
If so why, because it adds very much to the atmosphere of the game to have the official ost.

And the music in UNS is awesome, and the graphic looks like you are playing the anime thats adds very much to the atmosphere to.
The character model is better in UNS.
Both games will be awesome, and the review have nothing to do whed how you like the game or not, people are diffrent.
Some people like UNS better then TBB and some people like TBB better then UNS.
As i seid i will get both beuause both are to awesome Naruto game!
