Buyer Reviews :
During the early '70s, Bruce Lee was known as one of the greatest action heroes in history and the master of Jeet Kune Do. The violence that Lee displays in his movies are so extreme, so grosteque, that even todays action heroes wouldn't even dare to perform that kind of stuff. Even if someone tries to emulate his violence, it wouldn't be as good looking as Bruce Lee's original violent performances. Even if he died a tragic death in '73, his memories are still alive today. You'll see a whole lot of people with Bruce Lee T-Shirts, cartoon characters trying to be like Bruce Lee, remastered DVDs of Bruce Lee classics, and even some video game characters in a fighting game acting, fighting, and sounding like Bruce Lee. Now it's time to remember Bruce Lee in another way...put him a next-gen video game console with the greatest 3D graphics processor of all time, the XBox ! Enter Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon, the first Bruce Lee title to feature 3D technology and real time combat. And it's the most anticipated action game among an audience of young Bruce Lee fans. Now to describe the game. The graphics are perfect, powered with the XBox's ultimate 3D processor. The 3D models look very superb with no graphical flaws ! The lighting effects, including the flaming fist mode, looks absolutely jaw dropping. And as for the stages, they're huge and good looking ! There are not much flaws on these stages, except for the fact that there's a whole lot of fog and tons of it. But still, this is a graphical powerhouse overall, and the cutscenes rock ! The audio is okay...I guess. The voice actor who did Bruce Lee didn't do that much of bad job. They almost sound identical, but he really needs to work on it more, including that yell that Bruce Lee does (you know...WAAAAATAAAAAHHHH !!!). And some of the other voice actors are rather laughable, but on the plus side, it almost sounds like they're featured in a Kung-Fu movie. So that seems fair ! The music sounds perfectly fit with the traditional Chinese Kung-Fu tunes. And the sound effects are blazing with realistic hitting and grunting. If you listen carefully, it sounds very identical to that of one of the sound effects featured in one of his films. And as for the gameplay, it rocks ! The controls really hit the spot with slick movement and fast control response. The in-game combat will seem a bit clunky to some newcomers, but after playing this a couple of times, you'll really get used to it. And the coolest thing about the gameplay is, when you kill the last enemy, you get a slow motion of your enemy falling down after one fatal blow and you get to use Nunchakus on certain stages. My favorite part of the game ! The only thing that bothers me about the gameplay is the unforgivable camera angles. It keeps on moving everytime you're done duking it out with the last batch of thugs or if you're fighting with one enemy. But still, even with those flaws, I really loved playing this game. Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon is one of my favorite XBox titles among everything else. Many people may not enjoy it, but anyone who still enjoys watching Bruce Lee's films and still looks up to him, will definently like this game ! If you want to see Bruce Lee alive and kicking it...literaly, Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon is the title that Bruce Lee fans should never miss !
