Let me start off by saying that I am a 30 year old male and that I absolutely love this game. Normally I would not purchase games of this genre, but since i loved the movie so much, I went ahead and picked it up. This game has great depth, believe it or not, and has good replay value. The graphics and controls are amazing and the fun factor is top notch, mos def. I recommend this to anyone of any age, If you are an experienced gamer, then I would set the difficulty level to dragon warrior, but the normal setting is still a good challenge. I promise that you will not be upset with your purchase of this game.

This is a well-designed game translated from a movie. The graphics are good, and gameplay is consistent. There's enough variation to keep a seasoned player from getting bored. The cutscenes are entertaining and humorous.

In terms of gameplay, keep in mind that this game is relatively short, and probably will not take a seasoned player more than 5 hours or so to complete. Each level has a specific set of optional challenges, however, so to complete each level "100%", you may need to play each level at least twice, and sometimes three times. As with any "fighting" game, there is a wide variety of button combos to unleash various types of attacks. This is a button-masher game. It's quite easy to get through most enemies by using only slight variations, or one or two buttons. Again, this game is designed for everybody "10 and up", so if you're looking for a real challenge, this game might not be for you. The game even sports an upgrade system, so you can increase Po's powers and abilities, which seems to make the game even easier.

The sound in this game is good. I enjoyed the voice-acting. The music helps set the mood. Sound-effects are standard for this type of game, but don't expect to be blown away by any of it.

The game has one annoying design flaw which I cannot forgive. When you complete a level, the only on-screen option is to "upgrade" or go to the "next level". You cannot launch a menu to "replay" the level you just completed (in case you did not complete it 100% and want to try again). You have to launch the next level, wait for it to load, bypass the cutscene, exit the game, and then load the level you want to play from the menu. This involves entirely too much effort to replay a level.

Overall, this is a fun game to play. It does not have a lot of replay value, however, and for an experienced gamer, it may provide only 10 hours or so of entertainment. However, it is a good diversion from the standard shooters, if you're looking for a quick break between games.

This is a great game, you have a lot of fun playing it, graphics are really nice, and the story is good, but the game is to short, you can finish it in about 2-3 hrs.

And there is no more fun to play it again, cause is simple the same, just a little bit harder, if you get it like me in a bundle is a really nice game, but if you purchase it is a really expensive game when you compare the fun time/price factor.

This is a game to rent not to buy.

I admit I was very skeptical about this game, but after playing through it with my wife, I was impressed. Admittedly, the camera maneuvering needed some work, but every fighting/platform game seems to suffer from that. I really enjoyed the simplicity of it all. The mechanics were basic, but the graphics really stood out. I honestly had a hard time at some points visually distinguishing between this game and the movie. I was in Wal-Mart one day buying cat food, and looked over to the electronics section thinking they were displaying the game (it was the movie). Yes, it's an animated movie, so it's not too much of stretch graphically, but it was nice to play a game that actually matched up to its movie counterpart in some areas. The voicing was done well for most of the voice over's being those other than the original actors. Overall it was a fun game to play through. Best animated movie turned videogame I have played in a long time.

I stepped into a Best Buy with my wife so she could check out a camera. I was standing buy the xbox display and a preview of this game came on and it looked fun. Mind you ive not seen the movie other than the movie trailers at the theater/tv and the game trailer at BB. I started playing the display game and was just having a blast and made it all the way through the demo. I looked back and my wife was sitting on the floor watching the game and commented how much fun it looked. We bought the game right there not reading a review which I just dont do but the demo was that much fun.

I brought it home and started playing, my son stepped in and just had to give the game a try and also was very impressed with the game and we tried the multiplayer and its also very fun. The graphics are top notch and the game play is one of the best for this genre of games, and the multiplayer is a blast, the voice overs are the ones from the movie and nicely done and great features like collecting coins to buy new costumes, increase health, dexterity, fighting skills etc. I would recommend this game to anyone that like to play games on an xbox and its very user friendly with good controls layout and just downright FUN!!!

The game is no different from the movie, so if you loved the movie you'll love the game.

Graphics/characters: Very nice indeed. Visual presentation is beautiful, it kept the same look like the movie.

Gameplay/technical issues: I had no technical issues so overall the game was well done. Some of the quests can be frustrating because even if you save a game at the certain spot, if character loses life, it does not mean that it will load the part you saved but you will end up redoing the part you just finally overcame. So for this it gets 4/5.

What is also fun is that you can play the game with up to 4 people but it is only in combat mode against each other or against other enemies. I noticed that sometimes the camera angle can be disorienting and the characters can be so small that it makes it diffucult to figure out where you are/or what you are doing when a hoard of boars attack you. You need to run or jump around to figure out where you are. The battle mode is best looking on a very large screen or you can put your face few inches away from the screen too :)). What I liked very much as well are the fighting moves ... the combos, the special hits, there are so fun to do.

So overall, it is a fun game that you want to play more than once.

Yeah I'm 22 years old I played this because it came with my 360 and I really enjoyed this game yeah its short but wow it was really fun and I have played it three times to unlock everything I'd actually recommend this game.

This game has beautiful graphics and, thankfully, does not repeat the movie entirely. However, it is the most difficult and least intuitive game we've played so far and has been very frustrating for me and my son. The controls for the actions are not similar to other games we've played (Lego, Avatar, Ben 10) and there are additional buttons we need to press in order to get the desired action. I was also disappointed that it's a 1 player game in story mode. The option of 2 or more players is only available in battle mode. Another problem throughout the game is the instructions for Po/the gamer on how to play. The writing on our T.V. screen (32 inches) is so small that it's impossible to read sometimes without getting really close.

I found this game extremely amusing. Jack Black is great, the graphics are excellent, and the gameplay is cool. They've gone to great lengths to make this an exciting game.

Unfortunately the game isn't very long and can be beatten in 3-6 hours depending on how much xbox you play. In my opinion this makes for a killer rental game.

The 2-player is basic arcade "mortal combat" style stuff with a few other side-games, but there is no 2-player story mode.

The first gradert enjoys this game very much. It was purchased new. No complaints.
