Graphics - 5.0This is actually the first ever Naruto video game I've played in depth. I was a big fan of the TV series a few years back, and seeing this game in all its HD goodness really brought back memories. NUNS uses a type of cel-shading that, for all intents and purposes, looks amazing in comparison to other games I've seen and even exceeds the art/animation quality of the anime. Colors, line detail, and shadowing all look fantastic for the characters. I was especially impressed at the fluidity of battles and fighting motions that seem to have been captured and digitally recreated to perfection. In contrast, the backgrounds are a bit dull, but even in the manga/anime, they were never that big of a factor in terms of art.
