    PS4Sony.net Review: Kung-Fu Live – A Workout That’s Actually Fun

    Introduction

    Here I stand, beaten and battered after 2 days of Kung-Fu live. I am not a fitness junkie by any stretch of the imagination, but after a few weekend benders topped off by a late-night kebab, something inside me says I need to do something about it. Up until now, some of the other gimmicks that have said to be both physical and fun have been pretty boring to say the least.. I’m looking at you Wii Fit. First and foremost, this is a game, and thus will be analysed as one. Having said that, the game set me back $22 AUD – so the bar was set pretty low, my how appearances can be deceiving.

    To set the scene, Kung-Fu live puts you right into the game (literally), by capturing you as a character via the Eye-Toy camera and tracking your movements on the screen, no Move controllers required here. The story goes that you are a novice who just got a job at a comic book store who secretly learns Kung-Fu on the job, by some mystic portal that transfers you into the comics. This sets the tone of the story and perfectly matches the game. Once you complete a new mission you pose in various shots for the Eye-Toy (no nudes please, although you could if you wanted to), which are then put into the comic. This in itself provides many laughs – but definitely immerses you into the storyline.

    Kung-Fu Live

    Kung-Fu Live - best motion-controlled experience I've had

    As you progress, your enemies naturally get bigger, harder, stronger, faster.. and there are even evil spawn hatch-lings that appear and come back to life to give you more grief than you expected.

    Graphics

    Imagine if Mortal Kombat on the PS2 and the old Final Fight series had a baby. That’s kind of what you’d get, except the visuals have been sharpened in 720P glory, and the animations are fluid. Even the way I looked on the screen was true to form, using my white shirt rolled up as nun-chuck looked surprisingly realistic on screen - two points for Eye-Toy. The levels offer a nod back to the classic video-game beat-em-up giving up back-alley scenes aplenty, with some fantastic Japanese backdrops with Mountains, water, and bridges thrown in as well.

    Sound

    Similar to the graphics, the sound throws a nod back to the old-school martial arts movies, perfectly fitting the mood. With plenty of gong sounds, cheesy enemy one-liners such as “you’ll be sleeping with the fishes”, and “you will pay for what you did to my brother”, there are plenty of laughs to be had. Similarly, the background music is a-class.

    Gameplay

    The Eye-Toy’s tracking surprised me immensely to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much beyond a wannabe Kinect experience. Every single move, and I mean every single move that I performed appeared on screen. Besides the odd few times that the player would jump without me doing anything, everything else was seamless.

    Setting up Kung-Fu live is a sinch. Make sure your room is well lit and obstacles out the way!

    The game even got the wife involved who had no trouble jumping in and taking out baddies. Unlike the Wii Boxing where you go absolutely apesh!@t and hope for the best, you really have to through correct punches and kicks in this one. Dodging, evading, jumping, punching, kicking, sweeping, elbowing, it’s all there. You even have an arsenal of special powered attacks, such as throwing lightning, ground shaking, time slowing (ala Max Payne), and the super-speed attack which always works well when starting combos.

    Conclusion

    Well, this was the best 22 bucks I ever spent. Maybe it’s the old-school kung-fu movie buff in me, or the guy who lined up to play Final Fight and Mortal Kombat at his local arcade back in the day. Something about this game just gets me – and it’s especially funny watching friends jump in and kick some ass.. we were all laughing like school kids.

    Finally, and I do think it is an important factor in a weight-conscious age.. that even doing a very intense 30 minute round got my heart-rate rocketing. I sweat bullets within the first 5 minutes of the game, which probably says more about my fitness than the game itself. While other video games claim you might lose weight and have fun, this one actually delivers. I hope to god we see additional downloadable content for this one.

    It’s cheesy, it’s goofy, and that’s why I love it. Would’ve scored higher marks for a multi-player experience, particularly online. Kung-fu Live is available right now only for the PS3, and on the PlayStation network.

    Overall 7.5/10
