Gamertell has posted a mediocre review of Kung Fu Panda for the DS. From the review:
"On the sunny yang side, when the game is good, it's surprisingly good, taking excellent advantage of the DS's touchscreen. On the darker yin side, when the game is bad, it's really bad and becomes unplayable especially for the young, teen audience the game is aiming for...
For the first 10 minutes of Kung Fu Panda, I was ready to toss the DS cart into a cursed pond for eternity. After than and for a couple hours, I was convinced this was going to be a surprise hit of the year. Unfortunately, annoying moments crept in often enough to ruin the game's feng shui and make its weaknesses glaringly apparent.
If you want to see a well-executed exercise in touchscreen controls, then this is certainly a worthwhile game to try, if only for academic reasons. Otherwise (and especially for pre-teen gamers), wait for it to hit the discount bins. "

"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”."
