Website Excerpt:
"Finally a Naruto skin!"

If your a fan of Japanese Culture or know someone that is then you are likely to have heard of Naruto. For those that haven't; Naruto is a long running Manga (Japanese comics for those out of the loop) with an anime (Japanese Cartoons) trailing behind; Naruto has a wide fanbase and as of such has a huge amount of fan created goodies on the internet so it was a huge surprise to me that I didn't discover this skin earlier.

Unfortunatly for you players without access to your own server; they is no way to use the skin online but a handy reskin is avaliable here http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/9292 just for you guys. To install the skin you will need mani admin installed on your server. Get it from http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/ and please note that you will also need the skin manager for mani which is downloaded here http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/mani_admin_plugin/skins/cstrike_skins.zip.

Gameplay

There is something enticing for the anime fan in me to be shooting that damn annoying Naruto with a Scout so i can certainly say that it enhances my gameplay. There are some minor hitbox issues but nothing too noticable. One problem i found was if too many people were looking at the model then the server would inexplicably crash though this could be a serverside issue. If anyone has more information on this then please post in the comments.

Visuals

The model is well made and the animations seem good but in some cases I found the model wouldn't properly animate when holding certain weapons. The texturing is good but at some times I find the cartoony appearance to be distracting and occasionally a small eyesore when trying to play serious Counter-Strike Source.
