Kung Fu Chaos
Overall: This game is one of the best games I?ve ever played, ever. Let me start out by saying I?ve never been a big fan of the martial arts spoof that this game is based on. So for me to find such great enjoyment in its style says a lot. The overall presentation of this game cannot be beat. The menu is very simple to navigate. You have a number of bars vertically displayed in the center of the screen that allows you to choose your destination. It portrays an old movie feel with the flickering of lines and particles of dust occasionally going across or hitting the screen. It?s as if you were watching a movie made in the 60?s and they were using cheap film. The effect hits its mark perfectly. As you play each and every element of the game screams cheesy B Kung fu Movie. From the funny comments of Shou Ting, the director, to the funny comments made by the players in the middle of fighting. The scenes you fight through are the most diverse and imaginative I?ve ever seen. A really cool feature is how they use movie scenes from the likes of Titanic & Independence Day. These are just two examples, there are many more. Another great aspect of the game is the replay function. When you play a level in battle mode you have the option of saving the entire fight as a final directors cut. As you watch the replay you can choose what music plays in the background. The director also gives hilarious comments throughout the viewing.
Gameplay: This also hits the mark perfectly. The combos are simplistic to first learn yet allows for a more complex experience if desired. The instruction manual shows up to 23 different types of combos that could be used. These combos feel/look unique for each character that uses them. There are, I think, around 8 characters with one or two more to unlock. Also, each player has a very unique special super attack that adds a lot of strategy to the game when the number of lives left at the end of a scene determines the winner. The graphical affect when these super attacks go off are very fun to watch. In order to gain these super attacks you have to taunt your opponent after knocking them down three times successfully. The taunts are funny as hell . For me, one of the coolest parts of the game play is an option that allows for spectacular camera views to be seen. This adds a matrix (slow motion) style to the game as you pull off various combos, very cool. There are many scenes to unlock ( 20+) and to do so you have to complete a scene with 3 out of 5 stars. Also, each scene has many levels to it. So in one scene you might see anywhere from 5 to 10 different levels. I?ve played both single player and multiplayer with friends and have enjoyed both experiences equally. The game has several types of modes; I think this covers them all:
Ninja Challenge- single player mode where you unlock levels & all other goodies
Battle mode ? single & multiplayer on any unlocked scenes. Also can play multiplayer with teams.
Championship mode- its battle mayhem with a different set of rules. I haven?t unlocked this yet.
Mini-series mode ? Here you unlock each individual characters bio ? I haven?t unlocked this yet.
Freestyle mode ? Here you can do whatever you want.
Rehearsal mode ? practice away.
Options section ? watch all the movies you?ve made. Fun to watch while eating Popcorn.
Graphics: The graphics here are simply stunning. Very much detail has been give to both the characters & scenes. I guess what really adds to the graphic splendor is how much is going on behind the scenes. I found myself watching replays several times just catch all the action in the background that you don?t have time to pay attention to in the middle of an all out battle. Again, the replays only work well due to the amount of detail given to every graphical aspect of the game. Go to any web site that has pics or vids posted and you can see for yourself.
Audio: As far as the audio is concerned, it?s perfect. You get many cool kung fu style options to listen to or you can just use your own music.
Suggestions: There must...and I mean must... be a KFC 2. And the only thing you should change is to add live. This game screams live....
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
