I held off on buying this game because I read all the reviews when the game came out. The prognosis was not good. It was getting very mediocre scores. In addition, many reviewers seemed to dislike the control scheme. Naturally, when I picked it up, I wasn't expecting much.

20 minutes later, my jaw was resting solidly on the floor. Several things impressed me greatly:

1. The whole game is set up like a dvd. The menu has new game, load game, scene selection, special features, and options. All of these, except for load game, match up with what you would find on a dvd. The scene selection, which lets you go to any scene of the game you've already been to, especially makes this obvious, and all of the menus have a certain flair to them.

2. If the menus weren't enough of a hint, the very decent voice acting, cinematics, and full score continue the impression that the player is actually playing AND watching a Jet Li movie. The game has the flow of a movie as well (as long as you don't get bogged down in any one place).

3. The gameplay...yeah, this is where my jaw was dropping to the floor. The analog attack system is really a lot of fun. I wouldn't want it applied to every game, but it really fits this game well. The moves just look incredible...and there are so many hidden moves that require a bit of experimentation. In addition, there are scene specific moves that use the environment....some are pretty spectacular. I've played through once...my guess is that I missed some, so I'll have to go through again :D When certain moves are performed, the game goes into a slow-mo cinematic....yeah, again, jaw-dropping.

I think reviewers gave the game low scores because A) they aren't open to innovative control schemes (some places gave Mark of Kri bad reviews), B) the short length, and C) many professional reviewers have forgotten how to have fun.

The only real flaw I can see with this game is it's length. It won't take the average gamer longer than 6-7 hours max to beat. Some stuff unlocks after you beat the game...new difficulty, costumes, etc.- there is some incentive to play through a second time (or third? anybody?), but the game itself is pretty short. Still, this is a game that I will keep. I typically turn games in after beating them if they haven't really wowed me; this one has earned a permanent place on my shelf!

Well done!!

I played a demo of this game and it is alot of fun. You really do feel like your in a hong kong movie. Really fast paced fighting and the fact that you can interact with almost everything is cool. It's impressive how they blend alot of moves on the fly, and there is alot of moves. Good visuals, good audio, good gameplay, good story, good game.

Great!!!

Jet Li is by far the best martial artist alive. And he is one of my favoirite action stars. Now just to be Jet Li in a game, thats awsome. This game is really good, even tho the graphics on the character models arent perfect, the backround graphics are well done. It is a simple fight system and very fun. Jet Li is the coolest person, and to be the best martial artist in the world, in a video game, just makes it alot better. The game itself uses right analog fighting hand to hand, and right thumstick and r2 for guns. This is like a classic action movie, there are plenty of cutscenes that bring out the story. This game is a great action fighting title and you should buy a copy today.

cool game, some good stuff some bad

i love fighting games, and in this one you fight, you shoot alot. not much of a story, just enough to give you a reason to kickass, the game has great graphics, and sound, although it is strange not using the gamepad buttons, o button etc, you use the l1 r1 and analog buttons, it is a different, not bad thing.

pros: good graphics, lots of action,

cons: the controls get screwed up, you opponent will get you in a place where you can't turn or block, very frustrating. the game should also have a way to roll away, or straf

all in all i suggest you give it a try.

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!!!

The Best DAMN game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've done a lot of reaserach of this COOL game, i'm even in the process of buying it! This is the story:

Rise To Honor~

You play as Kit-Yun (which is Jet Li's Chinese name) who is a Chinese Intellegence Officer. His mission is to go under cover and pose as one of Boss Chiang's bodyguards, but he really isn't. You start out in Hong Kong, fighting triads and stuff. And on the last Hong Kong level 15 (i think) Boss Chiang is shot by a skilled sniper called Cheu'ng. In Boss Chiang's last dying moments, he requestes Kit, who he's trusted ever since Kit was his bodyguard, to give an important envolepe to his daughter, Michelle Chiang, in San Fransisco, U.S.A. Kit-yun goes to U.S.A, in hope of finding Michelle, who lives a pretty normal life. Boss Chiang was rich, he died, but lost all his money. His gang is almost over, payments haven't been made, and the criminal top-dog of San Fransisco, Billy Soon, wants money. Gangs from China and USA try to track down Michelle Chiang, in hope of kidnapping her and getting their money. If Kit-Yun ever has hope to find Michelle and bring her back to Hong Kong, alive, he'll have to use his wits, martial art skills and his honor...to make sure Michelle gets the envelope and doesn't die so then...he can rise to honor........

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.

It rules
