كونج فو كيوس,فبعد ال92% من ذاك الموقع الغريب نسبيا(وضعت موضوع للتقدير من مدة),هاهي tech tv تقيم اللعبة(الموضوع منقول)
Humorous, cartoonish action hasn't had much luck on the Xbox. "Cel Damage" was marred by confusing gameplay, and "Whacked!" was underwhelming. Microsoft, however, hasn't given up yet, and it has finally hit the ball with "Kung Fu Chaos." Throwing kicks, punches, taunts, and even princesses in homage to '70s era martial arts, this laugh-and-punch thrill ride is a ton of fun. Stupid fun, yes, but fun nonetheless. Make no mistake about it, sometimes we here at "Extended Play" just love to go kung fu fighting.
Lights! Camera! Fight!
The setup for "Kung Fu Chaos" is a Hong Kong martial arts extravaganza. You'll take your cue from a hilariously over-the-top, exuberantly excitable director as he pushes your chosen martial artist/actor through 21 scenes of chaos and destruction. Although three are locked at the beginning of the game, there are nine fighters to choose from as well. You can take a crack at completing this cinematic "masterpiece" with a baby-carrying samurai, a spry old kung fu guy, an afro-sporting sister with a boomstick, a ninja, a fighting monkey, a blond roller-skating chick, and other amusing, stereotypical archetypes from '70s era action flicks.
Animated action
One of the first things players will notice about "Kung Fu Chaos" is how great it looks. Since the developers were trying for a very cartoonish, over-the-top look, all the characters have short, squat bodies and expressive animation. The level of detail in the locales is just as impressive. Vivid, deep colors, an incredible amount of variety, visual jokes at every turn, and plenty of little touches everywhere make the game as entertaining to watch as it is to play.
Equally as amusing is the audio portion of the game. Aside from the use of the theme from the Bruce Lee classic "Enter the Dragon," and, of course, the classic song "Kung Fu Fighting," the sheer array of cartoon-quality sound effects and hilarious voice work give "Chaos" an absurd appeal. Character taunts are particularly amusing, since each fighter has his or her own repertoire of insults.
Confucius say, variety is spice of life
The actual gameplay in "Kung Fu Chaos" is a bizarre mix of action. One arena places you in a combat-filled obstacle course similar to a run through "Jurassic Park." Here you'll run from a T-Rex while leaping over vines on a rapidly deteriorating raft, jump onto the heads of giant frogs, and fight the kung fu monkey king. In another similar sequence, the director takes you aboard a massive, sinking ocean liner, where you'll have to have quick reflexes to jump out of the way of falling debris, all while dealing with persistent ninjas.
Just when it seems like a hyperactive "Powerstone 2" (all these levels are available for multiplayer), "Kung Fu Chaos" gets really weird. There's more than one level that involves princess tossing (both to save her and to use her as a weapon against those pesky ninjas). Another level has you throwing life preservers to drowning ninjas while avoiding hitting obnoxious seals. There's even a level where you have to catch falling stunt men and avoid falling cows.
You make good combat!
For a game that could be thought of as a minigame fest, the combat is surprising good. Characters all have an original and wide range of moves, combos, and superattacks. Simple-to-learn but fairly complex combos and throws make fighting the vast army of cheaply paid ninja actors highly entertaining. It also helps keep the game from becoming simply a cheesy throwaway title, like so many other party-oriented games.
Multiplayer chaos
As mentioned, all the single-player levels are available for play with up to four other kung fu fighting friends. The over-the-top action works even better with extra players. With four players, "Chaos" is similar to "Mario Party" without all the annoying gameboard elements and with a lot more violence. Plus, the diversity of levels to choose from means you'll have plenty of ways to express your superiority over your friends.
A surprisingly entertaining and light-hearted party game, "Kung Fu Chaos" could prove to be a sleeper hit for the new year. Diversity of levels, solid, engaging gameplay, and humorous touches on every level all make this a great game for most ages. If you're into the schlock of '70s era (and beyond) martial arts extravaganzas, then "Kung Fu Chaos" will definitely find a special place on your gaming shelf.
We give it a super high-flying action-packing 4 out of 5
