Video Game Reviews of Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon
Customer Review: Bruce Lee's Head was Bigger than I Remembered
Summary: 1 Stars
I cannot understand how any other reviewers on Amazon could give this game any better than 1 star. You see, I used to be of the mind that every video game, no matter how bad, had at least one redeeming quality. Sure, Tenchu was slow and poorly animated, but it had neat backgrounds and was it occasionally (unintentionally) hilarious. And on I Ninja, the "beat the clock" missions sucked, but the "kill everyone" missions more than made up for it. Then I played this game. There was nothing redeeming about it. Nothing.
In fact, the only good thing about the game, an unlockable mode in which you fight solely against the game's bosses, mysterious disappeared shortly after I found it. The only other good thing about this game was the off button. (This was, of course, voted one of the top 3 worst games of all time on...some show.)
But what was bad about the game? Well, your enemies suck. They range from brainless idiots to masters of the martial arts. And sometimes, they change from one to the other on a whim. They all look the same. All the ninjas have the same outfit; it just changes color (blue for boys, red for girls). And there is the witty banter they assault you with, which ranges from, "Let's teach him a lesson," to "I think I'm in love."
Bruce himself is pretty messed up. When he's fighting, he sounds like a chicken. When he's not, he sounds nothing like Bruce Lee. He also has the extremely useless and life threatening ability to lock on to a specific enemy from a horde of many. This allows him to block that specific enemy, while all the rest of them sneak up behind him and kick his butt. Hard. By the way, the block button was X. X is not a block button. X is an attack button. They couldn't even get that right.
I guess in an effort to show how much Bruce Lee looks like himself, the design team inflated his head a bit to make it stand out. That was kind of silly, but then again, so was the fact that Bruce changes his outfit every chance he gets. And not just from level to level. I mean when he starts chasing a ninja chick through pouring rain, he is wearing a Chinese style coat. But when he catches her he's shirtless. Then, the coat's back on. Where did he stick it, down his pants?
I've got to admit, I never liked Bruce Lee. I thought Enter the Dragon was boring. So I hoped that this video game would allow me to look at Bruce with a whole new light. It did. I am now even less in Bruce Lee's corner.
