It Sucks. The controls are tiring, and the story is boring. Jet Li could've picked something better to put his name on...this is a blow against his rep.

Play as Jet Li? Doesn't Get Any Better!

"Jet Li: Rise to Honor" is a third person brawling and shooting game. In the game, the player takes the role of Jet Li - or rather, a character virtually portrayed by him.

The story is a fairly simple, revolving around Chinese gangs and criminal elements. Jet Li - or the player - is Kit Yun, a bodyguard responsible for protecting Boss Chiang, who is attempting to leave his life of crime behind. Most of the story involves beating up other gang members who are trying to kill Chiang or, later, his daughter, and the story serves mostly as an excuse for this violence.

The gameplay is simple compared to many other brawler games: aside from guarding and area-specific actions, fighting occurs by pushing ("slapping", in the game's words) the right control stick in the direction that you want to attack. This allows for multidirectional attacking in the game's many multi-opponent fights. This simplifies combat almost to the point where it's not fun anymore; the only other action is "adrenaline attacks", which is basically slow motion or bullet time. Gun battles work roughly the same way, except the control stick is used to target and the R2 button is used to shoot. Apart from some neat interactive features, like kicking people into equipment or onto hot stoves, there isn't a lot of gameplay variety.

The graphics are decent, but not good. Faces are reasonably good, but also tend to be blocky. The textures range from mediocre to poor, with too much blur and not enough detail. The action, despite some neat slow-motion moments, is generally lackluster as well. The sound is for the most part forgettable and consists mainly of yelling in Chinese.

"Mediocre" describes this game fairly well. At most parts, it simply drags as you are forced to fight yet another wave of hooded thugs, and it lacks excitement and panache.

4/10.

Awesome Game!!!

Wow, man when i first red the booklet inside the box, I thought it was going to be a bad game because you have to use the right analoque stick to punch and kick, but after I tried the game, wow amazing. I found out that the controls are supposed to be like that to make the game more exciting and even more awesome!!! If you are thinking of buying this game, I advise you, buy it because this the best game in it's class!!!

good, pretty good

this game is good, but after about an hour of frustrating left and right analog stick fighting your thumbs are aching from the action. The chapters were good, and the degree of difficulty increases as time goes, but some of the levels are a bit TOO erratic, the gun fights are near impossible, but there is no annoying reload because amazingly your gun NEVER runs out of ammo.

It took me quite some time to beat the final level, but once it's done, you don't really want to play it anymore.

Pretty well done

This is good game the fact that motion capture technology is used for the gameplay, makes this a very unique game. The storyline is ok not terrific. Due to the fact you use the analog sticks for attacks and movement the fights can be difficult to win. Overall this is a hard game to master due to the analog controls. The adrenaline moves you can do are one of the most fun things about this game, except for the fact that advanced enemies can usually block all your moves except for perfectly timed ones. The gunbattles are long drawn out run shoot hide matches. The only way you can win a gunbattle is by standing in the open and steadily spraying the whole area with bullets. Or you can do strategic sniper attacks. If you like a challenge and enjoy martial arts based games you'll like this one. At the very least this game is good for quite a few hours of gameplay for a action adventure game.

Very good game

I've read all the reviews of people saying this game is horrible. I'd say I have to disagree. The controls are kind of weird, and the camera views aren't always the most helpful. But without that right analog stick control it would be very difficult for those multiple opponent fights. I did find the unlimited ammo kind of odd, but the dive moves are pretty cool. I wish it was longer.
To make the game more interesting, try to figure out all the possible moves you can do. You're not going to do it in one sitting. Try using different characters once you unlock them; they have some different moves and abilities.
Overall, it's a very good game and worth buying.

Boaring Without Much Control

From the first appearance this game looks promising but fails to deliver as control of the character is weak. The game takes on the look of Matrix type effects and does in fact deliver that graphically. However Jet handles all of his moves on his own, all you do is tap the joystick to prompt his attack and movement. Not much fun from my perspective simply because there isn't anything really challenging here to learn. The strategy and game play are simple... hit and avoid being hit. That's it!?

Its ace

control system is different from most games but don't get put of by that. Once you get into the controls they feel quite good. Graphics are hella good. I loved this game its tight!
