Customer Reviews of Jet Li: Rise to Honor

good, pretty good
this game is good, but after about an hour of frustrating left and right analog stick fighting your thumbs are aching from the action. The chapters were good, and the degree of difficulty increases as time goes, but some of the levels are a bit TOO erratic, the gun fights are near impossible, but there is no annoying reload because amazingly your gun NEVER runs out of ammo.

It took me quite some time to beat the final level, but once it's done, you don't really want to play it anymore.

Underrated and Misunderstood
I held off on buying this game because I read all the reviews when the game came out. The prognosis was not good. It was getting very mediocre scores. In addition, many reviewers seemed to dislike the control scheme. Naturally, when I picked it up, I wasn't expecting much. <

>20 minutes later, my jaw was resting solidly on the floor. Several things impressed me greatly: <
> <
>1. The whole game is set up like a dvd. The menu has new game, load game, scene selection, special features, and options. All of these, except for load game, match up with what you would find on a dvd. The scene selection, which lets you go to any scene of the game you've already been to, especially makes this obvious, and all of the menus have a certain flair to them. <
> <
>2. If the menus weren't enough of a hint, the very decent voice acting, cinematics, and full score continue the impression that the player is actually playing AND watching a Jet Li movie. The game has the flow of a movie as well (as long as you don't get bogged down in any one place). <
> <
>3. The gameplay...yeah, this is where my jaw was dropping to the floor. The analog attack system is really a lot of fun. I wouldn't want it applied to every game, but it really fits this game well. The moves just look incredible...and there are so many hidden moves that require a bit of experimentation. In addition, there are scene specific moves that use the environment....some are pretty spectacular. I've played through once...my guess is that I missed some, so I'll have to go through again :D When certain moves are performed, the game goes into a slow-mo cinematic....yeah, again, jaw-dropping. <
> <
>I think reviewers gave the game low scores because A) they aren't open to innovative control schemes (some places gave Mark of Kri bad reviews), B) the short length, and C) many professional reviewers have forgotten how to have fun. <
> <
>The only real flaw I can see with this game is it's length. It won't take the average gamer longer than 6-7 hours max to beat. Some stuff unlocks after you beat the game...new difficulty, costumes, etc.- there is some incentive to play through a second time (or third? anybody?), but the game itself is pretty short. Still, this is a game that I will keep. I typically turn games in after beating them if they haven't really wowed me; this one has earned a permanent place on my shelf!

Pretty well done
This is good game the fact that motion capture technology is used for the gameplay, makes this a very unique game. The storyline is ok not terrific. Due to the fact you use the analog sticks for attacks and movement the fights can be difficult to win. Overall this is a hard game to master due to the analog controls. The adrenaline moves you can do are one of the most fun things about this game, except for the fact that advanced enemies can usually block all your moves except for perfectly timed ones. The gunbattles are long drawn out run shoot hide matches. The only way you can win a gunbattle is by standing in the open and steadily spraying the whole area with bullets. Or you can do strategic sniper attacks. If you like a challenge and enjoy martial arts based games you'll like this one. At the very least this game is good for quite a few hours of gameplay for a action adventure game.
