PC Action
Außergewöhnlich ist nicht nur das Spielprinzip von Rag Doll Kung Fu. Auch die Tatsache, dass der Vertrieb ausschließlich über Valves Online-Dienst Steam läuft, ist mal was Neues. In diesem Prügelspiel steuern Sie eine Art Gliederpuppe nur mit der Maus und führen so allerlei wilde Aktionen durch. Dabei powern Sie Ihren Kämpfer durch den Verzehr von Psycho-Pilzen und das Einsammeln von Schmetterlingen auf, wirbeln mit Schwertern und Nunchakus herum und schalten neue Spielmodi frei. Sämtliche Körperteile lassen sich einzeln bewegen, was mitunter sogar Pflicht ist.

Unfortunately, as a game concept it's naturally short-lived. You'll complete the main training in a matter of hours (if not less), before moving on to the hitherto unavailable mini-games - which even then will only keep your attention for a short while. The multiplayer mode adds some long-term appeal, but while it lasts Rag Doll Kung Fu is an enjoyable and unbelievably funny game, featuring hilarious low-budget FMV starring developer Mark Healey and containing dialogue such as, "Get in that tree!" and "Idiots! Bring me his pubes!" If only for that alone, Rag Doll Kung Fu is well worth its humble asking price.

PC Gameplay (Benelux)
Ragdoll Kungfu is een absolute party-game. Wanneer je met meerdere mensen speelt zal het automatisch gezellig worden. Zelfs verliezen is leuk!

Kurz haben wir gezögert: Soll man das wirklich testen? Doch beim ersten Kampf gegen den Kollegen Schmidt war klar: Mit Rag Doll Kung Fu verbringen wir in den nächsten Wochen unsere Mittagspausen. Wer sich am trashigen Hong-Kong-Flair nicht stört und die Tücken der Marionetten-Bedienung erst mal gemeistert hat, bekommt ein einzigartiges, brüllend komisches Prügelspiel. Bloß schade, dass für Solo- Haudraufs nicht mehr geboten wird. Aber das kann Mark Healey ja später per Steam-Patch nachreichen.

Rag Doll Kung Fu is unmistakably indie and undeniably professional, and given the amount of content, it's not hard to justify the paltry asking price of $15. Hopefully the online distribution method will continue to open doors to independent developers much in the same way that shareware revived the PC gaming market at the beginning of the 90s. Either way fans of quirk looking for the next Katamari Damacy would do well to look into RDKF. It's good, stupid fun, and a great time waster, which is all it ever hoped to be.

Here's the thing, though: The camera pans and zooms as it pleases, so keeping tabs on yourself is tough enough, let alone pretzel-bending into a stamina-boosting lotus stance while ducking baddies. Dialing down the speed setting (via the options menu) helps, but that also slows the audio effects and everything else along with the action. Eh, everything except for those crack-up cut-scenes.

Attention, jeu vidéo non identifié ! Ragdoll Kung Fu (RDKF) est une production d’une rareté extrême. Le genre de production que l’on citera en exemple chaque fois que l’on devra parler des gameplay les plus novateurs du jeu vidéo. A la base, Mark Healey (qui a travaillé notamment sur Dungeon Keeper ou Black & White) tournait un petit film de kung-fu à l’humour potache. Un projet qui lui a donné envie de réaliser ce jeu complètement déjanté dans lequel vous incarnerez une marionnette en quête de son Chi Power. Oui, mais voilà, un objet non identifié est parfois difficile à saisir, et c’est malheureusement plus que jamais le cas avec RDKF…
