Bruce is back and with his trademark woooo!! haaaaa!! and Tons of thugs to beat ... out of. All you X-boxers/Kung Fu nerds strap on your Gitana and open a can of ... cause Bruce is back!

The legendary Bruce Lee makes a big scene on the XBox !

During the early '70s, Bruce Lee was known as one of the greatest action heroes in history and the master of Jeet Kune Do. The violence that Lee displays in his movies are so extreme, so grosteque, that even todays action heroes wouldn't even dare to perform that kind of stuff. Even if someone tries to emulate his violence, it wouldn't be as good looking as Bruce Lee's original violent performances. Even if he died a tragic death in '73, his memories are still alive today. You'll see a whole lot of people with Bruce Lee T-Shirts, cartoon characters trying to be like Bruce Lee, remastered DVDs of Bruce Lee classics, and even some video game characters in a fighting game acting, fighting, and sounding like Bruce Lee. Now it's time to remember Bruce Lee in another way...put him a next-gen video game console with the greatest 3D graphics processor of all time, the XBox ! Enter Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon, the first Bruce Lee title to feature 3D technology and real time combat. And it's the most anticipated action game among an audience of young Bruce Lee fans. Now to describe the game. The graphics are perfect, powered with the XBox's ultimate 3D processor. The 3D models look very superb with no graphical flaws ! The lighting effects, including the flaming fist mode, looks absolutely jaw dropping. And as for the stages, they're huge and good looking ! There are not much flaws on these stages, except for the fact that there's a whole lot of fog and tons of it. But still, this is a graphical powerhouse overall, and the cutscenes rock ! The audio is okay...I guess. The voice actor who did Bruce Lee didn't do that much of bad job. They almost sound identical, but he really needs to work on it more, including that yell that Bruce Lee does (you know...WAAAAATAAAAAHHHH !!!). And some of the other voice actors are rather laughable, but on the plus side, it almost sounds like they're featured in a Kung-Fu movie. So that seems fair ! The music sounds perfectly fit with the traditional Chinese Kung-Fu tunes. And the sound effects are blazing with realistic hitting and grunting. If you listen carefully, it sounds very identical to that of one of the sound effects featured in one of his films. And as for the gameplay, it rocks ! The controls really hit the spot with slick movement and fast control response. The in-game combat will seem a bit clunky to some newcomers, but after playing this a couple of times, you'll really get used to it. And the coolest thing about the gameplay is, when you kill the last enemy, you get a slow motion of your enemy falling down after one fatal blow and you get to use Nunchakus on certain stages. My favorite part of the game ! The only thing that bothers me about the gameplay is the unforgivable camera angles. It keeps on moving everytime you're done duking it out with the last batch of thugs or if you're fighting with one enemy. But still, even with those flaws, I really loved playing this game. Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon is one of my favorite XBox titles among everything else. Many people may not enjoy it, but anyone who still enjoys watching Bruce Lee's films and still looks up to him, will definently like this game ! If you want to see Bruce Lee alive and kicking it...literaly, Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon is the title that Bruce Lee fans should never miss !

A must have for beat em up fans.

My first experience with this game I played for three hours strait. I was amazed by the visual effects, and opening cinemas. The sound effects and voice is vintage Bruce Lee. I like the fact that I can purchase items once completing an area and also by learning new Jeet Kune Do moves as the game progresses. This game is different from Final Fight the main reason being that I can move around in 3-D space and clime ladders and the wonderful point system. This game even has a training mode where I can practice my moves. Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon is two games in one an adventure that features a story mode and a fighting mode in the Arena. The game play is phenomenal and the graphics are well don I can't see this game looking the same way on any platform especially built in Dolby 5:1 support and HDTV compatible. And I own X-Box and Playstation 2. The only gripe I have with this game is that some scenes suffer from slow down, but it doesn't take away the enjoyment.

Bruce Lee: From Film to Video Game

The video game Bruce Lee: Quest of theDragon is a fusion of street fighting action mixed with Tekken style moves. In other words, it's friggin' fun as hell. I was kind of skeptical at first because the game play seemed choppy. But really, all the controlling needs is a little mastering. If one really wants to come up with some sick and crazy combinations, a little work can go a long way. At the same time, one can go through the game just doing the same three combinations over and over again. The scenery is spectacular and the effects are drool worthy. The AI isn't bad either and presents a challenge, though sometimes it can get a little repetitive. The game is simply awesome though and there's a huge replay value because there's over a 100 moves or something like that. This game truly utilizes the Xbox's capabilities and is a worthy addition to the fighting genre.

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."

repeat after me KUNG FU BRAWLER

First of all this game is made to look and sound like an old Kung Fu movie. That is why there is such bad voice-acting. That is also the reason for the strange camera angles. Next, people have been saying there are only 4 or 5 combos you can do, I guess thats because they haven't played training mode which allows you to do all of the moves you have to buy in the game. There are over 100 moves and you can do combos with most of them. I have also heard people saying its bad because its like Final Fight and Streets of Rage. This game is suposed to be like those games because it is a brawler and so are they. So to sum it all up if you like Kung Fu movies and Brawlers this game is for you. If you like one of the two you might want to rent it before you buy it. I give this game 4.5 stars but you cant so I'm giving 5 instead of 4 to help its overal rating.

Are you kidding me???

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!!

Awesome!

I don't know why people hate this game. Sure the graphics aren't the greatest of all, but they aren't bad either. It's just an out-right fun game to play! What I really like is that you can collect the coins to purchase belt upgrades, strength, and other more powerful moves. My friends and I play this all the time, and we love it. I encourage anyone to give it a try.

At last Bruce Lee comes into the world of higher level of videogames. My opinion is that this game is one of the best.
it is somewhat similar to the game of Fighting Force
but more like Final Fight.the game beats tekken 1 and 2
virtua fighter 1 2 and 3 and others. The way of fighting in the game in my opinion is outstanding. this game has a lot of ways ofmartial arts. I think that it is the right thing to put Bruce Lee on videogames,to remember one of the gratest fighters of all in history of martial arts.
i recommend this game to all fans of fighting games, and those
who are martial arts fighters, so they can learn moves from
Lee.
