Bruce Lee's Head was Bigger than I Remembered

I cannot understand how any other reviewers on Amazon could give this game any better than 1 star. You see, I used to be of the mind that every video game, no matter how bad, had at least one redeeming quality. Sure, Tenchu was slow and poorly animated, but it had neat backgrounds and was it occasionally (unintentionally) hilarious. And on I Ninja, the "beat the clock" missions sucked, but the "kill everyone" missions more than made up for it. Then I played this game. There was nothing redeeming about it. Nothing.

In fact, the only good thing about the game, an unlockable mode in which you fight solely against the game's bosses, mysterious disappeared shortly after I found it. The only other good thing about this game was the off button. (This was, of course, voted one of the top 3 worst games of all time on...some show.)

But what was bad about the game? Well, your enemies suck. They range from brainless idiots to masters of the martial arts. And sometimes, they change from one to the other on a whim. They all look the same. All the ninjas have the same outfit; it just changes color (blue for boys, red for girls). And there is the witty banter they assault you with, which ranges from, "Let's teach him a lesson," to "I think I'm in love."

Bruce himself is pretty messed up. When he's fighting, he sounds like a chicken. When he's not, he sounds nothing like Bruce Lee. He also has the extremely useless and life threatening ability to lock on to a specific enemy from a horde of many. This allows him to block that specific enemy, while all the rest of them sneak up behind him and kick his butt. Hard. By the way, the block button was X. X is not a block button. X is an attack button. They couldn't even get that right.

I guess in an effort to show how much Bruce Lee looks like himself, the design team inflated his head a bit to make it stand out. That was kind of silly, but then again, so was the fact that Bruce changes his outfit every chance he gets. And not just from level to level. I mean when he starts chasing a ninja chick through pouring rain, he is wearing a Chinese style coat. But when he catches her he's shirtless. Then, the coat's back on. Where did he stick it, down his pants?

I've got to admit, I never liked Bruce Lee. I thought Enter the Dragon was boring. So I hoped that this video game would allow me to look at Bruce with a whole new light. It did. I am now even less in Bruce Lee's corner.

A waste of time and money

This game is not worth the full-price, ... price and even rental price. Just no redeeming quality whatsoever. You're better off spending your money buying Britney's Dance Beat.

Are you kidding me???

Not only was this video game explosive but it has just the touch to make me stand on my tippy toes! You will not believe this game play! and the edge cutting graphics are killer and a video gamers dream. I'm totally in for the next bruce lee adventure!!!! (You will too)

No review can be given without a game.

I don't understand why reviews are being written for a game that isn't available yet. Going to the games dedicated website however, there were a couple of issues to question. First, it says you must choose a fighting style to combat your opponent. Bruce Lee did not believe in styles, Jeet Kune Do promotes the use of techniques most effective in hand to hand combat. So why not utilize this philosophy as much as possible? I did not see any weapons being used. How about a bamboo pole or nunchakus like in Game of Death? Second, why even create a new storyline for the game? He was the leading actor in 5 motion pictures so why not utilize the storys from the movies? (A Bruce Lee - Chuck Norris fight from Return of the Dragon would be sweet!) But, even with these questions in mind I am still eagerly ready for this game. Bruce Lee fans, check out the video or DVD called Bruce Lee: A Warriors Journey. It has the full uncut final 40 minutes of Game of Death. Never before seen, the footage blows away the 11 minutes of footage that was shown in the theatrical release and it gives the true storyline for the movie also. Well as Bruce would say, "Be water my friend."

Best fighting Game yet--

This game was perfect in every way! while playing the game I was stunned at how well they portyaed Bruce Lee(with the voice, the screaming while he fights, etc). The fighting was sometimes extremely hard to very easy. For example you could be kicking @ss and then all of a sudden 8 more bad guys would jump in and then you would be on the ground getting your @ss kicked!! Everything from the bosses, the talking, scenery, difficulty, fighting, moves,etc is perfect and it would take me a very long time to write it all down. Even if you still dont want to buy this game, then rent it youll be very glad you did!!

Could have been better

This game isn't all that bad. The graphics are perfect. The character looks just like bruce lee. The major and only problem with this game is the fighting. It's horrible. It makes Bruce look like an entry level fighter, not an dynamic martial arts master. His kicks and punches are not direct like they are in his movies. They should have put more work into this. I'll say if they would have put at least another year into this game I guarantee it would have been the bomb.

DON'T DO IT!!

i am a huge bruce lee fan and when i saw this game at a flea market i just had to have it. i bought the game hoping that it would be worth the $ i paid for it, but unfortunately i was wrong. the first couple of days that you play it are ok, cause you're like "man i'm kicking everybodys butt!!!" but after the 3rd or 4th level it gets boring. i mean really boring. all you do is run a little and you get ambushed by 3-6 guys at one time, which isnt all that bad because it isnt that hard to beat them, but the thing is that after you defeat 1 or 2 another 1 comes out of nowhere. the controls for this game stunk because you could only hit one person at a time, while you're getting your butt whopped. i'm telling you DON'T BUY THIS!!!!! if you really want to play it go out and rent it and you will see how bad it is.

You've got to be kidding me

Herky-Jerky movement and mindless button mashing are what describes this game best. That, combined with low-rate graphics is why this game could very well have been released on PSONE. The game reminds me of the repetitive side-scrolling games of the late 80's where you just kick kick punch punch, then move a little farther..kick kick punch punch..yawn yawn. Skip it and demand more from game developers. I'd prefer to wait two more months for the developers to iron out all of the kinks than to get a game that's released before it's properly tested.

It's alright

I enjoyed all of the action fighting scenes. But there is almost no story line to this game. You couldent do anything else but beat people up. Also beating them was almost too easy at times. You can buy upgrades for yourself but it barly made any noticeable difference. If your realy realy loved final fight for snes, even though Bruce Lee isn't half as good as that game you might enjoy it. otherwise I just wouldent suggest it.
