News from Lik Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3771&lsaid=219793)
Did Japanese Mangaka Kishimoto Masashi foresee the massive popularity of Naruto, when originally creating the series which can be read in Shonen Jump Magazine since 1999? It's certainly interesting how a clever story of a young Japanese kid determined to become a Ninjutsu expert has gone beyond being a huge success in Nippon to enjoying a rather large fan audience all over the world. The Naruto phenomenon in Manga and Anime form has inspired several videogames in the past, mostly Beat'em Up oriented only. Bandai's Narutimate Hero line of games for the PS2 added RPG elements to it, with the latest instalment, Naruto Narutimate Hero 3, offering an overall improvement in gameplay, features and visuals.
The overhaul is a welcome one, with about a year that fans had to wait after Hero 2 (which was itself embraced by the gaming community with great excitement). Now, going from 20 characters available in the prequel to over 40 to choose from in Hero 3, replay value has been cranked up a few notches good. There are now new characters from the Anime appearing in the game as well. And adding a number of fresh systems, there are more super combos for Naruto and Sasuke too. These can be unleashed when the Nine Tails or Cursed Seal power is full, with an awe-inspiring eye candy fest to boot.

Please note that Naruto Narutimate Hero 3 is in stock for PlayStation 2, shipping within 24 hours for only US$ 64.90. As with all import videogames, we offer Free Shipping Worldwide for this title as well! By the way, all those of you who have pre-ordered the game should receive it soon, as we have dispatched your orders already. We just love Bandai for releasing Hero 3 in two separate discs, where the first one is an Animation Disc, which contains a brand new Naruto OVA ("Original Video Animation", a Japanese straight-to-video term), created by the staff of the TV series. Watch this exclusive Anime and get extremely pumped, making yourself ready for the second disc, which holds the game itself. Then you'll be prepared to uppercut the other Ninjas into the stratosphere hard.
Both discs are included in the DVD game case for all orders. If you've always wanted to play as the first or second hokage and take part in the goings-on in Ninja village Konoha yourself, Naruto Narutimate Hero 3 is the title to own. A terrific blend of Beat'em Up and RPG, it's a must-have game for fans of the series, as well as for all fighting enthusiasts.
