Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon

"Intense Fighting Action"

Bruce Lee isone of, of perhaps the best fighter in the world, so of course making a game where you play as him would be a good idea, truly. Bruce Lee, Quest of the Dragon is an action packed 3rd person fighting game where you play as Bruce Lee, fighting the crime group known as the Black Lotus in an attempt to rescue your father and the ''Relic''

Gameplay : 7/10
Although the frame rate of Bruce Lee : Quest of the Dragon is quite glitchy, the controls are simple and there are several different combos and moves to use throughout the game. One good quality in any game is the ability to enhance your characters performance in ways that you choose. Throughout the levels, you earn tokens and coins that you can use to learn new moves and gain more attack power and health. Overall, the gameplay is quite fun and well done.

Graphics : 9/10
Scenery, characters, and special effects of this game are simply amazingly well done. The characters are realistic looking and well shaded. The scenery in the game is sharp and beautiful, and even contains all the effects, such as sun shining on the water and lighting effects created on the character's faces. In final, this game's graphics are quite impressive.

Value : 5/10
Although there are several moves and enemies to fight throughout the game, because there is no alternate storyline and everything is always the same, this game is not nearly as fun the second time you play it through. The only thing truly enjoyable about playing it a second time is beating the enemies that you beat the first time you played it better and harder, which is a good feeling.

Sound : 7/10
The sounds in this game are great in some areas and poor in others. The character's voices are realisticly done and sound very lifelike, which is where the sound is great. The poor part is the sound effects, such as when you hit an enemy. The sound created sounds very unrealistic. So in final, good in some ways, bad in others.

Multiplayer Support : No
One of the big flaws in this game is that you are unable to practice your fighting skills against your friends in a multiplayer system. Fighting games with multiplayer are very fun because you are able to see who is the best at the game truly.

So, in final, I'd say this would be a good game for people who enjoy a good fight, and are looking for some action.
