Available for download off the Xbox Live Marketplace is a 765MB demo for Naruto: The Broken Bond. A game demo that we're sure you've been eagerly anticipating in the wake of all the blockbuster Xbox 360 titles releasing this Fall.
Here's a fun fact: Did you know that The Broken Bond will support 30 different Naruto characters and be the first and only Naruto game on a gaming console to feature online multiplayer? Did you also know that we spend too much time researching The Broken Bond in an effort to lengthen this blog post? Well ... we did.
[Thanks, yanya]

Not really hyped for this one, the PS3 "Ultimate Storm" looks very promising.
Too bad it'll require a HDD install. =/
Also, didn't one DS or PSP version of the game support online mode(s)?

Although im getting Ultimate Ninja Storm (as im convinced will be better because Cyber Connect is behind it) too, I can vouch for this game and say that the first one was GREAT for a Naruto game, and the demo for this one is even better than the first! ps. My little bro is gettin this so ill still play it on my 360 when hes finished:)

I thought the first Naruto game for 360 had online. Because I remember it being in the menu when I played it. I will probably pick up broken bonds and ultimate ninja storm. I just need my PS3 for the second one.

First to include online multiplayer? Not exactly considering its prequel Rise of a Ninja had it, although i never got a chance to experience it online cuz i refuse to pay 50 bucks for gold when i already pay 30 for dsl.

Actually Naruto: Rise of the Ninja had online multiplayer as well. Thought I'd point that out.

The first one was killer! I loved it. Looking forward to this one!!!! I prefer Action/Adventure over Fighting games so I'll enjoy this one over the PS3 fighting game.

I loved the Naruto Rise of Ninja but it's multiplayer incredibely sucked. The Clash of Ninja series for the Gamecube and the Wii was way better since it involved 4 players.

i already tried it, and i can believe it! oddly enough, naruto doesnt say the famous catch-phrase in the demo and the inclusion of japanese voice overs in the demo is nice touch.

They have it wrong and they have it right sort of.
Yes, Rise of a Ninja had online multiplayer battles, but TBB has tag team online... so.. 4Players plus some other stuff
