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.
Rather than look at the biggest, baddest, or worst fighter of all time, Peter Martin takes a moment to appreciate the one that left the most unique impression for him. AUTOMATON's Fight Week continues with a look back at Rag Doll Kung Fu.

Here's a very good video (if we do say so ourselves) showing off what I believe to be the 10 best games on the PlayStation Store at the moment. Enjoy!
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 guess a 4 is fair if you have no friends to play with.
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.
Weird that someone would even review a multiplayer game without playing multiplayer at all. I don't get it.
