Customer Reviews

You can't handle the awesomeness of this game!
Let me start off by saying that I am a 30 year old male and that I absolutely love this game. Normally I would not purchase games of this genre, but since i loved the movie so much, I went ahead and picked it up. This game has great depth, believe it or not, and has good replay value. The graphics and controls are amazing and the fun factor is top notch, mos def. I recommend this to anyone of any age, If you are an experienced gamer, then I would set the difficulty level to dragon warrior, but the normal setting is still a good challenge. I promise that you will not be upset with your purchase of this game.

Well-designed, entertaining -- good for everyone
This is a well-designed game translated from a movie. The graphics are good, and gameplay is consistent. There's enough variation to keep a seasoned player from getting bored. The cutscenes are entertaining and humorous.

In terms of gameplay, keep in mind that this game is relatively short, and probably will not take a seasoned player more than 5 hours or so to complete. Each level has a specific set of optional challenges, however, so to complete each level "100%", you may need to play each level at least twice, and sometimes three times. As with any "fighting" game, there is a wide variety of button combos to unleash various types of attacks. This is a button-masher game. It's quite easy to get through most enemies by using only slight variations, or one or two buttons. Again, this game is designed for everybody "10 and up", so if you're looking for a real challenge, this game might not be for you. The game even sports an upgrade system, so you can increase Po's powers and abilities, which seems to make the game even easier.

The sound in this game is good. I enjoyed the voice-acting. The music helps set the mood. Sound-effects are standard for this type of game, but don't expect to be blown away by any of it.

The game has one annoying design flaw which I cannot forgive. When you complete a level, the only on-screen option is to "upgrade" or go to the "next level". You cannot launch a menu to "replay" the level you just completed (in case you did not complete it 100% and want to try again). You have to launch the next level, wait for it to load, bypass the cutscene, exit the game, and then load the level you want to play from the menu. This involves entirely too much effort to replay a level.

Overall, this is a fun game to play. It does not have a lot of replay value, however, and for an experienced gamer, it may provide only 10 hours or so of entertainment. However, it is a good diversion from the standard shooters, if you're looking for a quick break between games.

Great game but to short
This is a great game, you have a lot of fun playing it, graphics are really nice, and the story is good, but the game is to short, you can finish it in about 2-3 hrs.

And there is no more fun to play it again, cause is simple the same, just a little bit harder, if you get it like me in a bundle is a really nice game, but if you purchase it is a really expensive game when you compare the fun time/price factor.

This is a game to rent not to buy.
