PlayStation 3 Critic Reviews

From the get go Kung Fu Live doesn't take itself too seriously and it pays off. A unique take on motion control for Playstation gamers allows the player to not only be actually in the game, but makes it playable without a controller in hand.

Kung-Fu Live is a clever and often hysterical use of the PlayStation Eye, one that is oft-wonky but a fun ride and workout nonetheless. For $15, it's hard not to suggest a go.

Kung Fu Live does have some rather gaping hurdles to overcome, but it is still plenty of fun to try out and is even better to watch.

After playing Kung-Fu LIVE, you'll hope Finnish developers Virtual Air Guitar get a lot of notice for their game, but you won't want them to step out of this inventive, fun little indie nitch they've found.

A really fun and original game, with great humour touches, although with some problems with motion detection.

Sure, it has some control foibles, and it can tire out your gamer's cardiovascular system in a New York minute, but Kung Fu Live is a surprisingly successful motion-controlled beat-em-up that will entertain you (and anyone who happens to be watching you) for quite a few hours.

Fans of Kung fu pulp or those who want to sample motion-controlled gaming without breaking the bank should find enough stupid fun in KFL to warrant the $14.99 download. Just don't blame me if you can't lift your arms in the morning.

Still, the game is kind of brilliant. More importantly, and I can't emphasize this enough, when you first play it, or see someone you know play it, it is the funniest thing you will see in your life.

As a PS Eye game goes it stands out as a winner in the eyes of this reviewer, even if only for the technical prowess. Kung Fu LIVE ...for the most part...works.

It's great fun for anyone who comes to visit, and it will definitely give you a workout.
