Bruce Lee?

[Samuel Bass]

Have any of you hardy gaming types had a chance to check out Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon? To be honest, I'm mainly interested 'cause it's the first console game produced by my former employers, Ronin Entertainment, and I'm wondering if its a underwhelming as the rest of their published work...

I've heard nothing but bad things about it. It's a rent-first title.

Save yourself and rent Hunter: The Reckoning instead. This game isn't worth a buy, but its worth a rent.

Zombies are so fun to shoot.

I saw it being demoed at the local game store. It looked pretty bad. There were stutters during fights and Bruce, while an excellent movie star, is a very plain-looking and acting game character. He's no Mayor Mike Haggar. He wasn't rendered that well to boot.

No hunks of meat.. No lead pipe... not even a phonebooth. Just a bunch of generic ninjas. Bruce could beat Cody senseless, though.

Also, the game crashed on me. No kidding.

Apparently, it's pretty sad...

Wow, 3.9, Jesus!

I guess Ronin's long streak of suck will last at least another year. The shame of it was, I was really pulling for this one, it had the potential to be good, and, had it been a hit, my friends who still work there would have had a chance to escape with their careers intact. :(

Anyways, thanks guys...

It's really bad. Perhaps one of the worst Xbox games to have been released. We actually had an enemy disappear from an area so we couldn't kill him and finish the level. It's getting a 1 out of 5 from us at Extended Play

How does something like this slide through MS's QC anyway? Can't they say "No!"

[Samuel Bass]

I agree. While I can sort of understand Kabuki Warriors slipping through, what with the need to pad out your launch library and all, but at this point in its timeline, I don't think the X-Box is exactly starved for games. Why not throw Bruce back in the shop for a few more months and let it come out at least mediocre?

MARKETING!

Hey Matt, are you the guy from that Animal Planet show with all the pets doing funny things?

Just wondering! He has the same name if the answer is no. If the answer is yes, how hard is it to fake a smile after the bad jokes?

[Matthew Gallant]

That's Matt Gallant. I'm Matthew. He also has a show on the new videogame network, G4.

I really need to change my name.

I thought maybe they were just trying to make the guy on the show sound more casual by making his name shorter.
