  1. Other than the horrible fiasco with the graphics it is hard not to tell everyone to get this game right now.
  2. With solid gameplay and a great presentation, Kung Fu Panda is easy to recommend to fans of the movie or parents looking to entertain their kids with a robust yet accessible action platformer.
  3. This is one of the better movie-to-game conversions I have ever had the opportunity to play. Even though it is on the easy side, children and adults will enjoy the story and the various challenges that will await them.
  4. A surprisingly deep multi-player mode. [Sept 2008, p.78]

  1. This game is like any normal adventure game, so it is not a surprise. However, you'll like the variety in the game and the side-stories that were not in the Kung Fu Panda film. Expand
  2. Horrible game. Looks dated. Boring and feels rushed. Don't know why they felt like taking more effort in the Xbox version, especially when PS3 has playstation move. Expand
