Product Description: Kung Fu Chaos is the fun brawler game that makes you the star of your own kung-fu movie!
Amazon.com Review: Do you want to party like it’s 1979? Well pull up a seat grasshopper, and get ready for Kung Fu Chaos, a silly but fun party game that's basically a kung fu movie simulator. You pick one of eight fighters to "act" in various fighting scenes interspersed with party games--think Powerstone meets Fusion Frenzy. After a scene is finished, you can replay the level as a 1970’s kung fu movie, complete with commentary from fictional movie director Shao Ting.
Kung Fu Chaos has solid single and multiplayer play. In single player mode, you can play the Ninja challenge, which pits you against a clan of mysterious evil Ninjas. If you unlock enough areas in the Ninja Challenge, you can choose a character and jump into the single player Miniseries challenge, which has unique tasks for each character. If you opt for multiplayer, you’ve got the 12 level Championship game, where up to four human players can duke it out. There are also Battle Game, Freestyle, and Rehearsal modes, which can be played in either single or multiplayer.
The graphics and music are decent, not extraordinary. The game has a fun deformed-cartoon style, and the music includes both the theme from Enter the Dragon and Kung Fu Fighting. The voice acting is good too, especially during cut scenes and when characters taunt each other. The frame right stays smooth no matter how many characters are on the screen, which is good, but sometimes there is so much fast action on the screen (especially during multiplayer play), that you can easily lose track of your character.
Those who approach this game as a pure fighting game will be disappointed. The moves are fairly simple, and all of the players only have one special attack. It's meant to be played with pals: get a few friends together and it becomes a terrific kung-fu romp. Fight in Chinese restaurants, ancient temples, and spooky graveyards. Duke it out on a raft in the rapids while a T-Rex is chasing you. Save a princess, and just for laughs, hurl said princess at your enemies. Beat up ninjas in one scene, and throw life rafts to them in another. Power-up by successfully taunting your foes, and hear the baying donkey when you fail. This game is made for a party, and it's undeniably fun.--Bryan Karsh
Pros:
Cheesy kung-fu movie style, complete with taunts
Strong multiplayer and single player games
Funny as a poorly written fortune cookie
Cons:
Simple moves will disappoint fans of fighting games.

Rating: - Kung Fu Chaos
My babies had to have this game after playing with another child's game. The thrill went away fast for them. So many new games and online gaming. A silly game overall - in a good way.
Rating: - Better than Bruce Lee
This game is better than Bruce Lees jumping death kills. Sound rocks, graphics are fresh and clean, its as funny as a dubed jackie chan movie, and the gameplay is great. Even me, a really big fighting game fan enjoyed this sort of simple mechanics type game. Levels are great, just wish there were a few more. Overall this is so additive and as fun as Kung Fu Hustle. So if your into a great new party game for the xbox then go and get this now!!!
Rating: - This Game Never Should Have Sold
I am serious. This game never should have sold. Not because its a bad game; far from it, this game is just about the ultimate ideal in video gaming history. Create your own martial arts flick while playing a video game. Nay good sir, the reason this game should never have sold is because it seems as if it was created specifically for me.
I mean, this is the game that I have been waiting my whole life for. A game where I am more than just a ninja on the screen, I'm an actor/ninja movie star! Okay, that sounds really stupid. And yet its true. And this is more than a ninja game alone. Want to be an aging but still lethal martial arts master? Done. Want to play as a "Lone Wolf and Cub" inspired samurai, also done. Want to play as a deity from Chinese myth, fairy tale and feature film? Equally done. Should you desire to be a gaseous Mexican wrestler, well, that comes later in the game. I was, of course, Ninja Fu Hiya, star of such films as "Did Somebody Order a Ninja," and "Ninja Cry Too."
The point of this game is to create a martial arts masterpiece called, Kung Fu Chaos: Face Full of Fists. You first play through the long movie production in order to unlock characters and sets and such, then you can use these to create your own kung fu films. The problems on set range from members of a clan of bloodthirsty ninjas trying to kill you, to difficulties trying to extend your bathroom/coffee breaks. This is, oddly enough, classified as a "party game."
I say that this game is almost catered to my interests and mine alone (which I know isn't true, but poetic license and all that allows me to continue) because there are many things which will ultimately turn many others off. The controls are overly simple. I found this somewhat refreshing from all the complicated combos out there, but that's me.
Also, the director of the movie you're starring in, a little fat man named Shao Ting, is constantly assaulting you with a barrage of insults. Some people, amazingly enough, find being insulting, um, insulting.
But these aside, this is just about as neat as it gets. I do wish you had a little more control over how your finished movie products look, but this game can be the first step in a new kind of ninja movie making. This is best summed up in the immortal words of Ninja Fu Hiya: "No! Ninja taste bad!"
Rating: - It's all right, for a while
Kung Fu Chaos is the game where there are really weird characters fighting each other. I got bored of it in just a few months. Basically, the game is about when you are trying to get a position of a fighting actor or actress by the director who has been a complete failure.
The GOOD THINGS about Kung Fu Chaos:
The selection of things to do- Instead of just fighting, you have adventure mode, and also a fighting time where you fight about 15 minutes and see how many people you have killed for the last 15-30 minutes.
The creativity- The creators did a great job of making up places where they would have auditions. Falling down a escalator then explodes and all of that kind of stuff. It is very cool what they did with that.
The BAD THINGS about Kung Fu Chaos:
Replay value- Basically, replay value means how long you will be willing to play it. This game has a bad replay value. I stopped playing it in a few months. I found another game and started playing that instead.
The controls- When you first play, it should be a little bit diffucult about how this game is supposed to be played. Instead, there are so many controls that you don't know what to do. It took me a good week to understand the controls.
This game is alright for the price. So if you like to play a good fighting game for a few months, go right ahead a buy it.
Rating: - Rubbish all the WAY
Kung-Fu Chaos has you fighting in arenas where you can ring out, or use objects like tables, chairs and even people to toss at your opponent. Up to four people can play simultaneously or you can play by yourself one-on-one. You can also team up with BOTS to fight against the cpu. The game has very cartoonish looking graphics, the sound effects and dialog are corny like an old Kung-Fu movie. In fact, you are playing inside a kung-fu movie. You'll hear the director telling you what to do and making snide remarks when you make a mistake. The whole game is silly and feels very childish. Not my cup of tea! I'm shocked that it got lots of good reviews here.
Pros: +funny +instant replay +up to four players +play with BOTS +okay for kids
Cons: -unresponsive controls -cheap sound effects -thinks it's funny -BOTS are stupid -nobody ever dies -limited attack moves -gets old fast -stupid music -retarded and pointless gameplay -small fighting space
I feel sorry for the people that bought this game for themselves and lost money. I was smart enough to just rent it.
