Kung fu panda in a nutshell is a beat em' up for kids, thats actually quite fun and funny at some times. The game bridges the gap between events in the movie and allows you to relive some things that happened in the movie very nicely, it also adds a few things that were never in the movie where it shows po learning the finger hold and such, which is awsome if you wondered how the heck he figured out how to do it. The graphics are nice, but not about to win any awards or anything. The gameplay is pretty simple, X is fast attack Y is hard attack easy right? Wrong, if you ramp the difficulty up to Dragon Warrior the monsters that you fight know what to do, when to do it, and how to, to completely destroy you quite quickly if your like me, and thought Dragon Warrior was just gonna be a walk in the park. The game also allows you to play as other characters besides Po but only for 5-10 minute levels, or parts,(Master Wushi, Crane, Tigress, and Monkey to be exact) which is a nice mix up after seeing Po for the last 3-4 levels, even if they have the exact same attack sceme besides a few specials (tail whipping bad guys and the such) . The storyline of the game is pretty much the same thing as the movie, Tai Lung is on a rampage you must stop him ect. ect. Another aspect of the game is that it has quick time events ALOT, which is when you have to press V button at certain times during a cutscenish event, which kinda slows the game down a bit, but makes the bosses easier for the young'ins, and slightly cooler to watch, but just plain annoying when you just want to kill the guy. The game does have some platforming elements, which is the most frustraiting thing in the game because sometimes you might jump on whatever you need to get too, only to fall off the edge when you clearly landed it, and if you have younger gamers, they might need some help with this because it can be quite frustraiting when that happens for the 7th-8th time in a row. One final thing is, the game has multiplayer simillar to the Super Smash Bros series, but sadly, it isn't Live so you can't really have fun with it unless you have friends over, also, if your older then 10, you'll feel embarssed playing this game, but the achievements are easy so if your an achievement whore, this is the game for you. To sum it up! /bulletpoints!
~Good beat em' up with decent graphics
~Fun to play, just as long as your not at the parts where you have to jump
~If your a fan of the movie, you'll love it.
~Achievements are easy.
>If your younger kids play this game, expect crying, because this game aggrivates you quickly.
>Jumping has its Flaws
>Embarrising to play if your past the stage of kids movies being grand and awsome.
>Quick time events destroy the battles, but are appealing to watch kinda.
>Multiplayer isn't live.
