The Gaming Grid

Well, with my latest episode over my latest 360, I got Kung Fu Panda for free. Now it has been a long time since I have played a full blo0d platformer. I was really excited about the games. Now I know that this is for kids since the movie was for kids, so I did not figure a very difficult game. What I got was a free fun game.

Now I really don’t feel like I need to talk much about the game, its your standard platfomers. There isn’t much missing, but also not added. It is a platformer there is not much to make this game work. So while I did like this game, I wondered if any of the people making the game had actually watched this game. Now I love watching movies, and since my 3 year old daughter has made me watch Kung Fu Panda 3 times a week. I know that game back to front.

So when the game comes out and there are these extra stuff that completely changes the whole meaning of the game, you wonder where they got this stuff from. It still wasn’t bad, but if the development team was working on this about the same time, if not a little bit before the movie, could then directly pull info from the movie production company?

This is a just the weird side of movies being translated to games for reasons. Usually when they go far off the actual story usually they already announced their death knell. The second is that the only character that is the same in the game as in the movie, is the master that trains Poe. All of the other characters do not have the same mentality as in the movies. But my thinking is that they did a decent job, is that they picked a simple enough game type.

Now, I know that most of the development companies that work are rushed because of the time line. They have to work on a shorter time line, and sometime cant get a good product out. I think this is now more prevalent in this console generation than ever. I would atleast say put this on your gamefly, but not worth it unless its under 10$.
