PGNx: Kung Fu Panda Review

PGNx writes: "Activision and Luxoflux/XPEC/Beenox deliver another solid, child-oriented game based on Dreamworks' upcoming Kung Fu Panda.

As expected, the game stars the titular kung fu Panda – Master Po. Master Po has lofty goals of being a stellar, kung fu-busting fighter but unfortunately for him, he's a bit too clumsy to achieve his goal. Fortunately, Master Po is being trained by Master Shifu, along five other Kung Fu masters (known as the Furious Five). When Tai Lung, the movie and game's villain, escpaes from the Chorh Gom prison, Master Po has to show off what he's learned, take on Tai Lung's army, and eventually the man himself. The game, which I imagine follows the movie loosely, is quite humorous and often quite charming.

As an action platformer, Kung Fu Panda is heavily based on light combat. Master Po can jump and double jump, as well as pull off fast and power attacks and the ability to use weapons from the environment. These are in addition to his special attacks, which include Panda Quake (belly flop with an aftershock), Iron Belly (bounce forward and roll into enemies), and Panda Stumble (a speed bounce forward). The game lets you collect coins, which you can use to improve Po's fighting ability by bettering his health or the damage a move does. Further, the game lets you unlock certain outfits in the game, which should prove fun for younger gamers."

Under the Radar – Five recent games worth trying out

Default Prime welcomes a guest writer, William Goswick, to talk about five recent games many gamers missed out on. These games are all genuinely good titles; how many have you played?

"In video game discussions, you’ll hear all sorts of terms being tossed around to describe a game’s social standing. “Overrated” someone will say, as they describe the latest Call of Duty and make the claim that it doesn’t deserve all its praise. “Underrated” someone will say, as they describe the latest Animal Crossing title and claim that people should appreciate it more, or that they simply just “don’t get it”. Then there’s a lesser-used term: “Under the radar”."
