TGR Review: Kung Fu Panda - "It absolutely nails it"

"The general reaction of a game critic anytime he finds out he's being assigned a game based on a movie is something along the lines of, "Great, this is going to be awful. I wonder if there are going to be any nice things to say about this title, or if I'll just spend three pages ranting about how every aspect is broken. I'll never get those ten hours of my life back; curse whoever first thought it would be a good idea to release a game alongside every single 'family friendly' movie ever produced." Surprisingly, that has not been my reaction with Kung Fu Panda. The game looks great, plays very well, and would be a fine title for any young gamer looking to enjoy the adventures of his or her favorite fighting mammal for just a bit longer."

1 - Good review?
Really? I guess I can rent it now, but I still can't get myself to risk $60 on a movie game.

That's a big suprise to see a good game based on a movie, let alone a kid's movie. Still havn't seen the flick though so maybe I'll wait for now.

Both the movie and the game are outstanding, I also tried the DS version and it was surprisingly good as well.

Surprising that a movie game is actually good, that almost never happens!

This was actually a pretty good title especially for kids. There's some fun multiplayer games set in there. My niece and nephew enjoyed it. They also seemed to enjoy how they went as far as making "Po's" stomach jiggle lol

See, I keep telling people that Tecmo's development of boob physics was good for everyone!

11 - It is actually good.....
Played the gamed and it is really good for a movie game. Most games that are based on new movies suck so bad but Kung Fu Panda was a quick sun game to play when there is nothing else to do. My little brotheres love it and I wan to buy it for them soon
