Review: Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon
Bruce Lee (finally) enters the Xbox...and, as it turns out, makes a rather hasty and embarrassed exit.
Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon, one of the last Xbox ?launch? titles to see the light of day, fails to warrant its extensive delay. Although the developers exhibit reverence for Lee's mystique and portray various authentic fighting styles, the game itself quickly bogs down into a long, repetitive walk-and-punch beat-em-up game.
Decent graphics realistically portray Bruce and his distinct fighting moves in two one-player modes. Lee moves through various locales fighting endless waves of opponents and bosses, while brief FMV interludes provide a rudimentary story line to keep the game flowing from one round to the next. The minimalistic sounds of Lee's trademark yelps and combat noises, however, seem barren compared to the colorful graphics. The controls are simplistic, involving only the four main buttons, but require numerous combo strings of punches and kicks to pull off specific moves when you really need to just keep punching and blocking to move on.
Bruce Lee diehards will appreciate this game for its complete focus on Bruce; however, video game fans will find themselves wishing the developers focused more on the game. Wouldn?t it have been cooler to see Bruce in a Street Fighter?like elimination fighting game based on Enter the Dragon? Maybe someday.
