Kung Fu Panda

15 Jul, 2008, 2:40 pm IST | Avinash Bali | Console Console

Based on Dreamwork’s awesome animated movie of the same name, Kung Fu Panda puts players in the furry little paws of a bumbling panda called Po who constantly dreams of becoming a great Kung Fu warrior. Unfortunately Po’s stuck making noodle soup at his dad’s restaurant... until the day he miraculously gets chosen to become the next Dragon Warrior, an honor bestowed only on the finest few. To help the clumsy and overweight Panda become a lean mean fighting machine, we have Master Shifu who, along with the Furious Five, train Po to become the most awesome warrior that ever lived.

At the same time you have Shifu’s old student Tai Lung who’s escaped his prison in search of the sacred Dragon Scroll and to seek retribution on the people who locked him up in the first place. Protecting the sacred Dragon Scroll and defeating Tai Lung and his minions – while taking care of the furry denizens of the Valley of Peace – seem to be the order of the day here.

As is evident from the description above, the game’s storyline is in tandem with the movie’s plot and developer Loxuflux have taken certain creative deviances from time to time to lengthen the entire experience. If you’re one of those unfortunate souls who haven't seen the flick, you’ll definitely get a bit lost since the game skips from one scenario to another, never explaining how it quite got there. Still it’s Kung Fu Panda we’re talking about and not a Metal Gear Solid, so there's no need to stress out over the storyline – the gameplay is pretty solid.
