Namco Bandai Games' Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles Coming To Europe
Action adventure title based on the global hit Anime scheduled for May 2007 launch on PlayStation 2.
LYON, FRANCE - 21 February 2007 - Atari today announced the forthcoming European release of NAMCO BANDAI Games' Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles for PlayStation®2. Based on the hit animated TV series, Naruto, this action adventure lets players take the role of Naruto himself, the aspiring ninja with the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit sleeping deep within. Set in a vividly rendered 3D environment, gamers can play through the story-driven missions to save the Hidden Leaf Village from the threat of evil and fulfill Naruto's dream of becoming the Hokage (leader).
Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles introduces a lush 3D world that will test the player's Ninjutsu skills as Naruto, the feisty orphan who wants to become the most respected and admired ninja of all time. A brand new story drives the missions as players experience the trials and tribulations of a ninja-in-training - fierce competition from fellow students and constant challenges from their teachers. Players can and face-off against multiple enemies using either close combat moves or long-range weapons like shurikens and explosive cards, while familiar characters like Kakashi, Sasuke and Neji can swoop in for assistance. Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles offers plenty to satisfy any aspiring ninja with mini-games, collectable status-boosting chips and plates to customize all aspects of Naruto's abilities, and lethal attacks taken straight from the popular anime series.
First introduced into the Japan's weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1999, Naruto - created by the revered Masashi Kishimoto - quickly became Japan's most popular ninja manga. In 2000, Naruto was expanded into a series of graphic novels with more than 65 million copies sold in Japan.
Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles for PlayStation 2 is published by NAMCO BANDAI Games, distributed in Europe by Atari, and scheduled for European release in May 2007.
