Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon

"The game skips more than it plays"

I never knew Xbox games were so bad. My friend brought Bruce Lee over to my house. I read that this game was bad, so I decided to check it out. My friend said ''People say it's a bad game, but I think it is good.'' It is one of the worst games of all time. This is why:

GRAPHICS-2/5
Bruce Lee doesn't even look like Bruce Lee. Law on Tekken 4 looks alot more like Bruce Lee. The environments look okay, but the people look horrible. The main problem that I had with the graphics was the fact that the framerate is so terrible. It will skip every single time you walk, do an attack or get into a fight. My brother asked my friend why it kept on skipping and my friend had no answer. Magazines have said the Xbox has bad framerate and this game proves it. Even the title screen skips. The graphics of this game are not the worst games can get, but the graphics are one of the better things. Onto control...

CONTROL-1/5
Bad doesn't even begin to describe it. It seems like you are moving in cement. This is one of the factors that mainly kills the game. Why doesn't it feel like you are fighting when you are? The whole game has a slow feeling and this slows it down even more. The Xbox controller sucks, but the control of this game shouldn't be so bad. The control makes it so that you don't even want to keep on playing. It's not too lose, but it is way too heavy. Remember those slow moving Tomb Raiders on PS1 and DC. It is worse that that. The control is a shame. But there is something worse...

GAMEPLAY-1/5
The gameplay kind of relates to The Bouncer. You know how The Bouncer has you doing the same thing through out the whole game. Well, this one has you doing those kind of things with poor graphics and control and a framerate which skips more than a portable CD player. The developers of this game think thar it makes it any better that you can buy moves. You will only use one move throughout the whole game anyhow. This is more of a button masher than Dead of Alive 3. The areas are also very small. My friend had to stop me from playing a level, because he said there are ''Better levels.'' THERE ARE NO BETTER LEVELS! The developers accomplished nothing here. They should have just saved the number of disc's they burned off for a game like Final Fantasy X of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. You should already know what the replay score is...

REPLAY-1/5
Why would anybody want to replay this game? They would have to be on drugs. I don't even want to play Xbox again, but play Bruce a second time? No way that's going to happen. Even Tekken Force is better and it is just a mode inside of a game. Final score below...

FINAL SCORE-1/10
What a sloppy game. Buy it or rent it? Neither. Just leave it on the shelves at the store. I can't think of a game worse.

+You don't have to play it if you don't want to
-Everything about it
