One of the more cynical things critics will tell you is that so long as you have low expectations, it’s easy to be impressed. While I went into Kung Fu Panda expecting yet another low-budget, boring, frustrating pile of junk, what I got was a gem of a platformer, perfect for kids and even somewhat entertaining for older gamers as well. This game is the antigen to the normal toxin of movie-based games, and all developers who work on such games in the future would do well to play Kung Fu Panda just to see what can happen when it’s done right. While the jumping mechanics may not be perfect, and the multiplayer won’t be pulling anyone away from Call of Duty 4, this title sets out to be a fun game for kids, and it absolutely nails it. If you have young gamers in your home, or if you just really enjoyed the movie, check this game out; it’s far more fun than a roundhouse kick to the face.

 Our Rating for Review: Kung Fu Panda
9.0
Fun Factor
A fun game that is simple enough for young players, but complex enough to satisfy more seasoned gamers.
8.5
Graphics
It doesn’t push the next-gen consoles to the bleeding edge, but what is there looks pretty good.
8.5
Sound
Nice music and a stand-up job from the sound-alike voice cast. I still can’t believe that isn’t Jack Black.
6.5
Multiplayer
The only real stumbling block: there are plenty of modes, but sadly, you have to scavenge for coins to unlock them all, and there is absolutely no online multiplayer.
9.0
Single Player
A fun romp through Po’s world, with plenty to do along the way.
7.5
Controls
Occasionally awkward camera and somewhat imprecise jumping controls, but a robust fighting system and responsive combat makes the rest of the game a joy.
8.5
Overall
A perfect accompaniment to the film, and something fans will likely want to check out. Pity that those who haven’t seen the movie likely won’t even consider it.
