Kickin' run to the right karate game
The Good
This game is part of that wonderful genre I call the run to the right game. As you run to the right, you will meet and battle various guards, a sinister bird, and the bad dude himself.
Cool music and cut scenes for such an early game. Also, liked the ability to run/walk and bow.
The Bad
If you aren't prepared, you can be killed with a single blow.
Also, remember that you have to be a gentleman to the ladies.
The Bottom Line
Very fun kung-fu game with realistic fighting. Not much of a story, but challenging gameplay. Later fights feel like duels.
