Players can advance quickly in the standard easy, medium or hard difficulties by completing enough objectives to move on. The wise Shifu provides plenty of assistance well within the flow of the action. After advancing deep in single player mode players can unlock several items for multiplayer mode, which also have a great variety of mini games including fights, a memory game and a variation of mahjong.
The game transitions could be smoother, like inconsistent respawns from saved checkpoints. It could also use more music, especially in multiplayer mode. Total completion of goals, side missions, and acquiring all items provide some incentive for repeat plays, but once around seemed to fit. A great multiplayer mode and the ability to fight as multiple characters really adds to the overall appeal.
Kung Fu Panda is rated E10+ (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB for Fantasy Violence and Mild Language. This game can also be found on: Nintendo DS, PC, PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360.

wow, this game looks fun at first, then it gets to the dragon warrior tournament final, thats as far as you can go, wow, what a terrible bit of programming that is. like the developers said, "Let's make it just short of impossible to pass this level to make it fun!" well that backfired, I will not be playing this game any further after repeated and numerous attempts to get past the second level. I'm sure it has to be better on the Xbox, the Wii interface is just not working for the same game.
