Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda is a video game loosely based on the film of the same name. The game was released across various platforms on June 3, 2008 in North America.

Plot

The game revolves around Po, a giant panda who dreams of becoming a great kung fu fighter. Unfortunately his weight and clumsiness makes this ambition seemingly unattainable. However, soon he finds himself going on a journey to save the land from an evil snow leopard named Tai Lung. But also joining the fray are the forces of the Great Gorilla and the Crocodiles, bent on capturing the Jade Palace's treasures. Also, unlike the film, the Furious Five are captured by various gangs only to be saved by Master Shifu.

Gameplay

Kung Fu Panda is a game intended mainly for children. Players initially control Po, learning various fighting techniques and special moves. Eventually, as the player progresses through the game, they will be able to unlock other characters including the Furious Five, a team of elite fighters each with their own fighting styles and minigames. In addition, the player will be able to use objects and weapons when fighting.

The game also includes a multiplayer mode with new levels and characters. The game also features new bosses including the Great Gorilla, the Wu Sisters and Nameless. The player can also collect action figures of the Furious Five and rare coins.

In the Wii version, the Wii Remote is used to perform moves and skills, such as the Wuxi Finger hold. While in the PS3 version the motion sensors of the SIXAXIS Controller can be used to control Crane in missions where players play as him

In the Nintendo DS version, while the D-pad moves the character, the touch screen is mainly used for combat moves, in the style of the DS version of Spider-Man 3.
