"Not Such A Legend Of The Dragon, More Of A Epic Fail"

I have never seen the cartoon of Legend Of The Dragon, and after playing the game I'm sure I will never want to. If there is one thing we should all know buy now is this. 1] any cartoon made in to a game will suck 90% of the time and the same goes with movies into games.

Graphics: 4/10
I don't know anything about the cartoon or how the characters should look, all I know is they look like crap in the game. The game designers have tried to go with a cell shade animation but it just looks bland and boring. Also so many Wii games are doing this and it's getting old fast.

Sound: 3/10
Poor it's as simple as that, the grunts and groans sound so bad. It's like playing a 80's beat em up all over again. In a world were we can have whole songs as ring tones they still can't figure out how to make a game sound good?

Control: 2/10
What's the biggest part of playing a game? The control system if that sucks than the game will suck and guess what!?!?! This sucks. It's delayed beyond all belief, this is the biggest reason why the game sucks, I could handle bad graphics and poor sound but not god awful control systems.

Doing special attacks is the worst, you have to hold C+Z to transform into the guardian, then you have [I think] 3 range of attacks, but you have to hold up, down, left or right [depending on what one you want to do] If that isn't enough to make you mad some of them require you to push a combination of buttons and movements, they appear on the screen and then you have to remember them. HEY IF I WANTED TO PLAY A MEMORY GAME, I'D GET MY DECK OF CARDS OUT.

Rent Or Buy: None
I picked this game up for $30.00 and I can see why it was traded in, this is one of those games that will be buried alongside shaq fu, rise of the robots and E.T. If you see this game just avoid it, If you're a fan of the cartoon than don't play it because it will make you wish the cartoon never existed, as I said I haven't seen the cartoon myself and after playing this crap of a game I don't want to.
