As a huge fan of Kung Fu movies and just movies in general I found this game to be very amusing. First off the fighting in the game is solid. It is also great for those button mashers out there when you are playing in Battle game, but when in the ninja challenge it pays to know the combos. The game play is very straight forward and offers a good break from your standard fighting game. The closest game I could compare this too is super smash brothers on the gamecube. The game has a lot of depth and many unlockable modes of game play. The miniseries are great and when you unlock them it adds for some great diversion from ninja challenge. In battle mode you have team challenge or free for all and within those modes there are five different ways to play them.
You must first play through ninja challenge to unlock many of the play modes and battle modes as you earn 3 stars or more you can unlock the next level in ninja challenge. The levels are huge and very fun to play through. Though most people will be able to obtain 3 stars in ninja challenge you don't unlock much unless you obtain a perfect 5 stars on levels. This is a challenge and will put you to the test on most levels (though there are a few that you can easily do 5). The single player mode offers a lot but it is the multiplayer mode that really offers up the most fun. Pick up some friends and start saying "I know kung fu" .... This is especially fun to do if you don't want to listen to the games sound track. The game allows the use of the custom soundtrack feature so you can rip your own soundtrack to this wild and wacky kung fu movie. When you are done kickn' your friends trash sit back and watch a great edit of the scene you just made. These are hillarious and I will say it is one of the first games that make you want to watch the replay. So if you love Kung Fu and great lines like "There you are minding your own business when suddenly, ninja clan attack!" This is for you.
Plenty of BAD reviews but it was fun to play

Not many good reviews of this game, but I don't think the reviews are being fair. OK. This game does have bad moments such as the multiplayer, but I think the single player mode is interesting and fun. For example, they have some mini games in between levels such as throwing the princess at other players to knock them down. Other mini games include catching as many stuntmens from the roof as possible while trying to avoid being hit by falling cows, tables, and chairs. There is some replay value because you need to complete some levels with 5 stars to unlock hidden levels or characters. If you don't believe me, just rent the game and find out for yourself.
This Game Never Should Have Sold

I am serious. This game never should have sold. Not because its a bad game; far from it, this game is just about the ultimate ideal in video gaming history. Create your own martial arts flick while playing a video game. Nay good sir, the reason this game should never have sold is because it seems as if it was created specifically for me.
I mean, this is the game that I have been waiting my whole life for. A game where I am more than just a ninja on the screen, I'm an actor/ninja movie star! Okay, that sounds really stupid. And yet its true. And this is more than a ninja game alone. Want to be an aging but still lethal martial arts master? Done. Want to play as a "Lone Wolf and Cub" inspired samurai, also done. Want to play as a deity from Chinese myth, fairy tale and feature film? Equally done. Should you desire to be a gaseous Mexican wrestler, well, that comes later in the game. I was, of course, Ninja Fu Hiya, star of such films as "Did Somebody Order a Ninja," and "Ninja Cry Too."
The point of this game is to create a martial arts masterpiece called, Kung Fu Chaos: Face Full of Fists. You first play through the long movie production in order to unlock characters and sets and such, then you can use these to create your own kung fu films. The problems on set range from members of a clan of bloodthirsty ninjas trying to kill you, to difficulties trying to extend your bathroom/coffee breaks. This is, oddly enough, classified as a "party game."
I say that this game is almost catered to my interests and mine alone (which I know isn't true, but poetic license and all that allows me to continue) because there are many things which will ultimately turn many others off. The controls are overly simple. I found this somewhat refreshing from all the complicated combos out there, but that's me.
Also, the director of the movie you're starring in, a little fat man named Shao Ting, is constantly assaulting you with a barrage of insults. Some people, amazingly enough, find being insulting, um, insulting.
But these aside, this is just about as neat as it gets. I do wish you had a little more control over how your finished movie products look, but this game can be the first step in a new kind of ninja movie making. This is best summed up in the immortal words of Ninja Fu Hiya: "No! Ninja taste bad!"
Shocking, but ridiculously fun nonetheless

When I first saw article reviews for Kung Fu Chaos, I was almost certain that it was a stupid game. One day, a friend brought along with two others, this title over to my room to play on my xbox. I almost wanted to smack him senseless for such imprudence. However, after playing this game for five minutes with four players, I was hooked! The game moves at lightning fast speed is extremely laughable along with entertaining. Gameplay never seems to slow down, and the game almost never grows boring. Even playing a 1 player game is a blast, given the fact that the computer A.I. is so clever the player will be challenged to their limits. By the way, the custom soundtracks system is excellent!! The game takes full advantage of the custom soundtracks system, so the player never really needs to worry about hearing the same-old boring dull tunes. After borrowing this game, I quickly ran out and grabbed a copy of it for myself! Anyone looking for gameplay debt similar to "Powerstone," needs to look no further. Kung Fu Chaos has come to save the day!! I can hardly wait for the sequel.
Kung fue chaos is a great fighting game

Kung Fu Chaos is really a party game, that is, you should play it with friends. Solo play is novel and fun for about 2-3 hours, but it wears off pretty quick because you only have so many moves and the taunt system, which seems hilarious at first, doesn't have much lasting value. But with friends you can have a good time taunting each other, throwing each other off platforms, and enjoying the mini games together. The soundtrack is ok, and you can rip your own music to play with. The controls are also pretty simple to learn, so if you are a casual fighting gamer, you'll appreciate its simplicity, but if you are serious into fighting games, it's definitely too simple and bland.
looking for a crazy fun game?

This game is one of the funniest I have ever played, coupled with the most imaginative level design I have ever seen. Combat is easy to get in to so you don't have to devote your life to it so you can get on with the fun. However, because it is not a complicated game to master completing the single player probably won't take long for most people. Most of the mini games that break up the combat levels are brilliant, but where this game is really awesome are the multiplayer sections.
I have never laughed so much as I have with this game whilst playing it with my mates, especially the mini-games because they are just genius. This is a great social game and this is definitely no trade-in in my book.
Not only one of the best, but one of the funniest.

This game is so freaken funny. I laughed so hard I had to pause the game to recover so I didn't get killed. With the rediculous taunts and the antics of the director, I couldn't resist. Some of the characters are so goofy looking especially the director. During a game he will pop up in the corner occasionally and taunt you and call you names. There's a level where you have to throw your enemies into the fog and they get sucked in. It is so funny looking. And if that's not funny enough, after about 2 people get sucked in, the director says, "Now that's some bad gas, huh!? He he he he he!" You'd only have to see and hear it. You can taunt the other players to power up and some of the taunts are so rediculously funny, like, "You are stupeed." and "You resymbol a pig and sheep." and "I will make ladies love me!" Once again, reading it may not be too funny, but to actually hear it... The game is for up to four players or you can play by yourself. The fighting sets don't stay the same, they fall apart and you have to move on, making it a bit more fun. Words aren't enough to describe. You'd have to play it.
I would HIGHLY reccomend this game to anyone.
wicked fun

This game is sooooooo fun. My friend brought it over during a sleepover and we stayed up all night playing it. The one player mode is short and easy, but the multy player mode is awsome. unlike other games, this multy player mode is not split-screen. you can see all the characters at the same time, but if you get left behind, you lose a life. On top of all of this serious gaming, it is also hallarious! there are a bunch of these little "stunt men" with big hats, and you can throw them at opponents! i have three words for you:BUY THIS GAME!
kung fu comedy

Glad to see this game get some positive reviews. Some game mags and sites have panned it, but I thought this game was hilarious. This is not a game for the hard core fighting gamer, the controls are simplistic and somewhat unfair at times. But for the gamer who doesn't want to memorize a zillion button combos and instead just wants to some wacky fun, this game is it.
It is also really funny. I've been playing this game a lot lately and I find myself saying to people at work, "You do good, but I do gooder", and other gems from the game.
I recommend a least a rental on this one, and I personally hope hey make a Kung Fu Chaos II.
