Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda
Immense stomach mnogosantimetrovy layer of fat under the strong hairy skin, a vague idea about what the proper arm differs from the back - can not all these things interfere with most ordinary panda, selling Chinese noodles, to become a renowned master of kung fu? Of course not! Lack of skill is compensated by a fair amount of physical strength, weight easily turns into an advantage (try to escape unscathed from beneath fallen on the head of a bear), and the lack of speed redeems an animal stubbornness. In order to achieve the cherished goal for the fat man would have to literally walk through fire, water and copper pipes, and in the final match of the snow leopard, Tai Lung prove to be called a true Dragon Warrior.

Violation of the traditions

On the pages of "Countries of Games" we have repeatedly asserted that the game kinolitsenziyam rarely deserve your attention. Alas, almost always a great name and the familiar characters in movies is hiding a weak hack, designed exclusively for fans of a band. Remember the recent The Golden Compass, The Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and a dozen other "masterpieces".

Company Activision in the field of creating games for the films also boast nothing special. Her last year's Shrek The Third is hardly a good product, and Spider-Man 3, to put it mildly, does not justify our hopes. So unexpected was the appearance of Kung Fu Panda - the game certainly flawed, but much better than the numerous deficiencies "in explanation."

Kung Fu Panda A bit of everything
As is known, except for the magnificent, in the cartoon many other memorable characters, like the master Shifu, Tigress and Crane. Alas, the pass game for them you will not be allowed, but from time to time be allowed to try to combat each of the masters. For example, the tigress will fight the first boss. True, express yourself in all its glory it will not do: defeat the villain is only possible with the help of context-sensitive commands, which, of course, leave little room for experimentation.

The game has terrible enemies and Tai Lung. Do not underestimate the power of a rag doll! This crocodile is obviously going to go to the bear diet.

For the two pandas

Events online version of "Kung Fu Panda" is more or less repeated the original. The ascent to stardom begins with a good man for dreaming, then it will be a difficult uphill and trying to infiltrate the ceremony in the temple, then followed the tedious training under the supervision of Master Shifu and, of course, the obligatory fight with the ferocity of the bosses.

Precisely define what the genre should include Kung Fu Panda, - is not easy.On the one hand, you have to deal with familiar platformer acrobatics: to get to remote places to gather a couple of extra coins for everyday expenses, jump over the precipice, and so on. On the other hand, opponents appear here punctually and as a rule, in large quantities - if at first you are attacked by two or three adversary, and the others are patiently waiting in the wings, the closer to the final test of strength for the poor fellow and his companions will be a dozen opponents at a time. This, of course, not the crowd of soldiers from Heavenly Sword, but the scale of activity in our panda is somewhat different.

The need to constantly fight predictable forces to devote much time and means of physical training of the future of the Warrior Dragon. And the money with the poor panda fleece for everything: a small increase to the health, the right to wear fashionable clothes, a couple of dashing combo-series or special techniques - for all you have to pay specie.

Non-stop scuffle, however, is not always a game good. Although the pace of the gameplay is not very high, the camera still sometimes can not keep up with what's happening on the screen. Too daring somersault by attempts to clarify relations with aggressive pigs in a confined space, and similar tests reduce camera crazy, why it is either stick in a broad black and white back of the main character, or persistently demonstrates the nearest corner. How tame she-devil - is unclear. The right analog stick, and one from the right "Shift", which is supposed to fix the camera behind the protagonist, works awry, so to active battle is not easy.

The first boss in the best of its many limbs. One of the options for multiplayer mode - the shooting of moving targets firecrackers.
To management, too, have a claim. He noticeably lacks "responsiveness", which often leads to sad consequences. And this despite traditionally a very moderate level of complexity.

Unfortunately, the English version of the game is not voiced by Jack Black (this does not mean that the voice is bad, but still). Accordingly, "odinesovtsy" also did not involve work on the localization of the actors who worked on the cartoon sound system, so that our voice does not speak for Michael Galustyan. However, the Russian PC-version is worth the higher ratings: translated and overdubbed everything, even the trailer for Madagascar 2: Crate Escape.

Surprisingly hilarious animation as a whole acquired a nice interactive twin. On Kung Fu Panda is not sorry to spend your free time, at least for the sake of its own make merry on a star action games. The main thing is not to pay too much attention to some technical roughness, and then the positive emotions you are guaranteed.

Kung Fu Panda Brushes and paint
Move a gorgeous, full color image animated film in a computer game, even when adjusted to modern technology is not easy. Even more so when the time allotted for the development a bit, and the project is a multi-platform, designed for the powerful PlayStation 3, and for far less technologically advanced Nintendo Wii. Studio Luxoflux honestly tried to find a compromise - Kung Fu Panda looks equally good on all platforms. It is worth noting the effects of illumination over which the authors have worked on glory. Animation characters too, is beyond praise, but the models themselves heroes out clumsy, primitive architecture levels.As a result, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are more like the latest wave of games for the first Xbox.
