Hooked Gamers Review: Rag Doll Kung-Fu: Fists of Plastic

To call Rag Doll Kung Fu a game is a bit of a stretch, and to call it a good game is a total lie. In fact, it might be one of the PlayStation Network's worst games. And not just because it is so insanely boring and repetitive, but because it had such potential. It was creative, it was goofy, and it had ninja dolls. How did it get screwed up? The game is plagued by broken, unresponsive controls, annoying music, repetitive challenges, and no online play. The latter is the game's biggest flaw, seeing as it is a multiplayer-focused game. While some of these detractors are tolerable, taken together they ruin what could have been a huge hit.

It's a cool game that can be had for free off US PS Store.

Whilst it would have been cool to have online play, not all games require online.

I feel they will add online to it. 7/10 min this game is def. not a 4/10. Idiots.

Pennywise5452d ago

I guess a 4 is fair if you have no friends to play with.

Blaze9295452d ago

at least it became free. Was a crime for all those who paid $10 for it though. I enjoyed it and got the trophies I could out of it but after the challenges, never went back to it.

But i love that YouTube feature, more games should support that feature.

AntoineDcoolette5451d ago

Everyone who actually bought the game should have $10 added to their PSN accounts lol

I agree that online play would have been great and the controls are a little tricky, but I think it's a good game. I'm not big into fighting games so I may never have tried it out for 9.99, but free's for me. I think the music is catchy and quirky, much like the music in LBP, a game that is brought to mind when playing Rag Doll Kung Foo. Love the weapons that fall out of the sky in a gift wrapped box, and the challenges are tough, man. This is an old school type game and I think it's worthy of a download, especially when it's free.

It's better than PAIN imho, and I paid for that.

Chewbaraka5451d ago

Weird that someone would even review a multiplayer game without playing multiplayer at all. I don't get it.

Sheikh Yerbouti5450d ago

Yeah, the author must have totally missed where it is advertised as a party game when he downloaded it.
