This was a good review. I consider Kung Fu Panda a prime example of a licensed game done right. There were so many games of this caliber on the NES and we took them for granted. Now something like Kung Fu Panda comes along and too many older gamers avoid it. Not because it has nothing to offer, but because they're afraid it'll be another stinker like we've come to expect from licensed games. It's good to see you giving the game a fair shot, even though (as you noted) it's only because it came with your system.

Seconded. It would be hard for me to write a review on a licensed title for the very reasons HG has mentioned. Especially out of these kid's movies, we've come to see simply AWFUL games. But you take the whole thing seriously, even with a certain sense of dignity.

I wasn't really worried about the game's quality. As I recall, there've been a number of decent to good licensed games based on Disney animated films. I've read plenty of reviews for older games like Lion King and Aladdin that graded them as solid to very good. At the very least, Disney-licenses tend to rate far better than the average Total Recall or Ghostbusters game.
