    A graphically slick martial arts game that’s head-and-bloody-shoulders above the competition for the visible damage you can inflict on opponents.

    This is the single best fighting game for your Xbox and definitely makes the top-5 list of best fighters of all time.

    With its new style of match play and chi attacks, Tao Feng offers up the next step in the evolution of console fighters, designed by none other than those who helped create the genre from the beginning.

    Playing Tao Feng is a lot like diarrhea; the longer it lasts, the more irritated you get. [May 2003, p.134]

    A good start for a soon to be great series. The game play is simply fantastic ... for newbie users, start off with the default difficulty (easy/medium), and pick the character that apeals to you the most and go for it ... Kick up the difficulty when you can. And don't forget to use the wall and poles to surprise and attack. It can be fustrating at times, but when U finally hand the computer its @ss ... it so satisfying. Reminds me of the old school games where you had to earn the win. … Expand

    Maybe I'm reading these reviews a bit late, but to me, this game even lacks the beautiful visuals and awesome sounds as so many have claimed for this title. The game play is light years beyond frusturating, only to be better described as noobful. Figthing games always have a hard time with re-playablility, and this game is a true testiment to this fact. After a few quick rounds with each character just to see what they look like and what their chi attacks are, I hardly totaled up about 3 hours towards game play for this title. As far as I'm concerned, you can only knock somebody out over and over again so many times. So I guess without a fatality type of move as seen in the Mortal Kombat series, the fights get extremely repetitive and are not worth the effort of sitting on your couch and staring at the disproportionate characters in the game over. Like mentioned earlier, nice try Tobias, it's better than what what my two pre-teen neices and I could throw together, but doesn't even begin to compare to Mortal Kombat.… Expand
