Full descriptionA parody on martial arts films from the 1970s, Kung Fu Chaos offers four-player fighting set within six interactive movie sets and an assortment of game modes. Characters can perform exaggerated attacks, blocks, combos, reversals, and finish up with poorly dubbed taunts and dramatic poses. Among the featured cast of oddball characters is roller queen Candi Roll, the samurai duo of Chop & Styx, the determined Ninja Fu Hiya, the vengeful Xui Tan Sour, the immortal Monkey, soulful Lucy Cannon, and costumed wrestler Captain Won Ton.
Kung Fu Chaos offers a total of six play modes for eager combatants, with support for up to four simultaneous players in team or individual competitive formats. As characters advance through the movie sets, which poke fun at such blockbusters as Titanic, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, and more, they will have to battle enemies with their moves and special attacks as well as avoid numerous hazards and traps. Complementing the action is the song "Kung-Fu Fighting" as well as the main theme from the 1973 Bruce Lee classic, Enter the Dragon.
The main mode of play is the Ninja Challenge, a collection of 26 stages introduced by movie director Shou Ting, who also provides pop-up commentary during the six movie sets. The goal for players is to earn a minimum of three stars in each mini-game or movie set challenge, in addition to completing a series of four tutorial lessons on the art of fighting. Players will confront multiple ninjas during each movie challenge, avoid hazards such as falling debris, and partake in mini-games such as leaping over a pipe that swings around in a circular motion.
Other modes of play include Battle Game, a four-player competition against friends or the computer on any of the unlocked stages from the Ninja Challenge; Championship, 12 rounds of kung fu fighting against players or the computer, with each round worth points; Miniseries, a special three-game challenge for each character playable by single players only; Freestyle, which lets players practice fighting for as long as necessary; and Rehearsal, where players can learn specific moves through a series of lessons. Unlockable features such as alternate costumes abound in this chop-socky spoof.
Kung Fu Chaos allows up to four people to battle it out on huge interactive movie sets that provide an added challenge to the mayhem. In true Hong Kong style, the combat features over-the-top gigantic leaps, suicidal stunts and multiple-opponent action. Gamers can choose from an outrageous cast of characters, each with unique brawling capabilities.
Editorial reviewSource:
AmazonDo you want to party like it’s 1979? Well pull up a seat grasshopper, and get ready for
Kung Fu Chaos, a silly but fun party game that's basically a kung fu movie simulator. You pick one of eight fighters to "act" in various fighting scenes interspersed with party games--think
Powerstone meets
Fusion Frenzy. After a scene is finished, you can replay the level as a 1970’s kung fu movie, complete with commentary from fictional movie director Shao Ting.
Kung Fu Chaos has solid single and multiplayer play. In single player mode, you can play the Ninja challenge, which pits you against a clan of mysterious evil Ninjas. If you unlock enough areas in the Ninja Challenge, you can choose a character and jump into the single player Miniseries challenge, which has unique tasks for each character. If you opt for multiplayer, you’ve got the 12 level Championship game, where up to four human players can duke it out. There are also Battle Game, Freestyle, and Rehearsal modes, which can be played in either single or multiplayer.
The graphics and music are decent, not extraordinary. The game has a fun deformed-cartoon style, and the music includes both the theme from Enter the Dragon and Kung Fu Fighting. The voice acting is good too, especially during cut scenes and when characters taunt each other. The frame right stays smooth no matter how many characters are on the screen, which is good, but sometimes there is so much fast action on the screen (especially during multiplayer play), that you can easily lose track of your character.
Those who approach this game as a pure fighting game will be disappointed. The moves are fairly simple, and all of the players only have one special attack. It's meant to be played with pals: get a few friends together and it becomes a terrific kung-fu romp. Fight in Chinese restaurants, ancient temples, and spooky graveyards. Duke it out on a raft in the rapids while a T-Rex is chasing you. Save a princess, and just for laughs, hurl said princess at your enemies. Beat up ninjas in one scene, and throw life rafts to them in another. Power-up by successfully taunting your foes, and hear the baying donkey when you fail. This game is made for a party, and it's undeniably fun.--Bryan Karsh
