Gamers Universe writes: "Kung Fu Panda is the third of our movie-inspired DS reviews in the last week alone, and it's also the most charismatic adaptation of the source material. The tale of a cranially-challenged Panda mistakenly rising to Kung Fu prominence is ripe with gags and visual set-pieces, and this DS version does a great job of tailoring the action to the specific strengths of the handheld. In a world of rushed cash-in titles and underwhelming ports, Panda breaks the mould with a fist of fury, but falls short of becoming a legendary warrior.
At its heart, Panda is a side-scrolling action title along the lines of SpiderMan 3 (from the same developer), or the old Irem arcade classic Kung Fu Master. The touchscreen is turned over exclusively to the action, whilst the uppermost display features a segmented map and other extraneous detail. As you make your way through each multi-objective level, you'll be tasked primarily with dispatching enemies (using a healthy dose of "awesomeness") and finding hidden routes through the scenery; many of which require the use of Kung Fu techniques handily taught to you by the other zoological members of the Furious Five."

"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”."
