The Review
While a 3D brawler based on everyone's favorite kung-fu legend seems like a good idea, the fact is that if Bruce Lee was still alive, chances are he'd promptly introduce a pair of nunchaku sticks to the genitals of each and every person involved with this project. Your monastery has been ruined, your father kidnapped. On top of all this, there's a mystical something or other that could transform an evil baddie into an even bigger badass. Indeed, all the elements for a great game based on 70's kung-fu flicks are present here, right down to the inclusion of the man himself. Trouble is that nothing, except for the graphics, is executed properly. And even the visuals are mediocre at best. Bruce Lee looks like Bruce Lee, but this game damn well could have been done on the Playstation 2 without suffering much in the transition. For a game that takes place in a region known for its beauty and natural splendor, environments are very uninspired. Worse is the camera, which will attempt to recreate a "cinematic" feel by showing your enemy going down after that last fatal blow. All that the camera shot serves to do is to demonstrate how your fist/foot is nowhere NEAR the enemy. Even more uninspired is the sound. From the opening menu hip hop track (what the hell?!) to the same scream you hear over and over again, the game lacks the charm that the movies had, even in the cheesy dubbed kind of way. If you're thinking of looking past every other fault in favor of having a great time in 30 on 1 fights in which team 30 promptly shuts up and dies, forget it. While the "dragon token" upgrade system is a nice, if unoriginal idea; you'll find most of the moves beyond your basic kick and punch are useless, and it's not worth memorizing buttons to know when to hit your foes with a certain move. In short, this game's a button masher, and not a very good one at that. If Bruce Lee were not present, the game would be complete trash. -George
