 Plenty of BAD reviews but it was fun to playMar 01, 2003
By K. Tran
Not many good reviews of this game, but I don't think the reviews are being fair. OK. This game does have bad moments such as the multiplayer, but I think the single player mode is interesting and fun. For example, they have some mini games in between levels such as throwing the princess at other players to knock them down. Other mini games include catching as many stuntmens from the roof as possible while trying to avoid being hit by falling cows, tables, and chairs. There is some replay value because you need to complete some levels with 5 stars to unlock hidden levels or characters. If you don't believe me, just rent the game and find out for yourself.

 You make kung fu movieMar 01, 2003
By Ryan K. Hibbert
As a huge fan of Kung Fu movies and just movies in general I found this game to be very amusing. First off the fighting in the game is solid. It is also great for those button mashers out there when you are playing in Battle game, but when in the ninja challenge it pays to know the combos. The game play is very straight forward and offers a good break from your standard fighting game. The closest game I could compare this too is super smash brothers on the gamecube. The game has a lot of depth and many unlockable modes of game play. The miniseries are great and when you unlock them it adds for some great diversion from ninja challenge. In battle mode you have team challenge or free for all and within those modes there are five different ways to play them.You must first play through ninja challenge to unlock many of the play modes and battle modes as you earn 3 stars or more you can unlock the next level in ninja challenge. The levels are huge and very fun to play through. Though most people will be able to obtain 3 stars in ninja challenge you don't unlock much unless you obtain a perfect 5 stars on levels. This is a challenge and will put you to the test on most levels (though there are a few that you can easily do 5). The single player mode offers a lot but it is the multiplayer mode that really offers up the most fun. Pick up some friends and start saying "I know kung fu" .... This is especially fun to do if you don't want to listen to the games sound track. The game allows the use of the custom soundtrack feature so you can rip your own soundtrack to this wild and wacky kung fu movie. When you are done kickn' your friends trash sit back and watch a great edit of the scene you just made. These are hillarious and I will say it is one of the first games that make you want to watch the replay. So if you love Kung Fu and great lines like "There you are minding your own business when suddenly, ninja clan attack!" This is for you.

Shocking, but ridiculously fun nonethelessNov 21, 2003
By Sinless Knight

When I first saw article reviews for Kung Fu Chaos, I was almost certain that it was a stupid game. One day, a friend brought along with two others, this title over to my room to play on my xbox. I almost wanted to smack him senseless for such imprudence. However, after playing this game for five minutes with four players, I was hooked! The game moves at lightning fast speed is extremely laughable along with entertaining. Gameplay never seems to slow down, and the game almost never grows boring. Even playing a 1 player game is a blast, given the fact that the computer A.I. is so clever the player will be challenged to their limits. By the way, the custom soundtracks system is excellent!! The game takes full advantage of the custom soundtracks system, so the player never really needs to worry about hearing the same-old boring dull tunes. After borrowing this game, I quickly ran out and grabbed a copy of it for myself! Anyone looking for gameplay debt similar to "Powerstone," needs to look no further. Kung Fu Chaos has come to save the day!! I can hardly wait for the sequel.

This Game Never Should Have SoldJan 01, 2005
By Colin "The Ninja Guy"
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!"

Great kung fu action a total must have party game!Feb 17, 2004
I was thinking about getting an x-box because my friend said that this game was the best he has ever played just for playing 5 minutes! That told me more than enough. So I went on this site to see if there were more x-box games I would want. I found plenty others and so I started to save up for one. When I finally got the money I bought X-box, but I couldn't afford a game. But I had gotten a lot of money from my grandma. I was so happy because I could finally get kung fu chaos and other games. The first time I played this it was so fun I couldn't put the controller down. It was the best moment of my videogame history. The graphics are great especially the water. The action is fast paced,fun,funny and furious. Can you say unlock? There is so much to unlock in this game it will add many hours to gameplay. The multiplayer will add more fun than before and is the best part of the game! If you like multiplayer games and many hours of gameplay this is a DEFINITE BUY!
