Kung Fu Panda [2008]
What's a panda to do when his dreams of kung-fu awesomeness awake to the cold reality of ... more
noodle-making? Clumsy, overweight Po (Jack Black) dreams of becoming a kung fu master like China's revered "furious five," but instead seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather in the restaurant business. When great leader Oogway has a vision that the imprisoned kung fu warrior Tai Lung (Ian McShane) will soon escape, he declares it time to choose China's dragon warrior--one kung fu master deemed worthy of possessing the dragon's scroll and its secret to limitless power. Po and all the townspeople rush to the Jade Palace atop the highest mountain to witness the contest between Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu), but Po is locked outside the palace. After a miracle of sorts, Po lands inside the palace gates, where he is chosen as the dragon warrior and placed under the tutelage of the decidedly non-plussed master Shifu(Dustin Hoffman). An unconventional student to say the least, hilarity reigns as Shifu tries desperately to make Po into some semblance of a kung fu warrior. Can Po possibly fulfill his destiny as dragon warrior, or was Oogway's final decision a critical mistake? A film rich with hilarious moments, superior animation, and an important message about believing in oneself and the power that comes from within,Kung Fu Pandais great entertainment that will have the whole family laughing and begging for more.

Touching Is Good. Repetition, Not So Much
The game starts weak, with a simple run-to-the-other-end-of-the-map quest. Once you get to the end of that, the touchscreen control scheme kicks in for first usable kung fu moves and the game's fun quickly starts to shine through. ...

Kung Fuuu Review ofKung Fu Panda (Nintendo DS)by
jestertech
Advantages: graphics, sound, video and storyline Disadvantages: longetivity and lack of combos
Whether or not you have seen the movie or not viewing the boxart of this game will prepare you for a new action adventure based on the movie of the same name.
Furthermore, like other movie based games such as Fantastic Four and Spiderwick Chronicles I was expecting a highly poor affair but this game I admit has swayed me.
The looks with its 3d graphics and a mixture of stylus along with button cotnrols are good but I felt at the same time that ... ...more precise controls.
Another major yes was the brilliant inclusion of voice acting and cinematics during the story mode which are flood in motion with no frame issues present.
However overall give this game agame if you're into action and excitement as the speed and moves that are present in this may surpise you for around just Ł25. ...

When I picked up Cooking Mama in Game in Reading, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. The box proclaimed that it was the most unique game ever, and I certainly believe that it lives up to that!
