First, a disclaimer: I really, really love the movie. Have watched it about a dozen times in just a month and it is fantastic in blu-ray on my PS3. So naturally, I got the PS3 version of this game, rather than on Wii, which I also have. Despite having 2 gaming systems, I am not a great or hard-core gamer. The Kung Fu Panda game has 3 levels: student; master; and Dragon Warrior, which correspond to easy, intermediate and hard. I don’t know, I’m still playing the first time through on student mode. Some of it on this mode is too easy–but not for children; but some of the battles take quick reflexes which are quite challenging for the not-so-young. I think this game would be good for all ages, especially if you liked the movie.
And speaking of the movie, the directors’ commentary said that ideas they left out of the movie–backstory, adventures, characters–are developed in the game. For example, Po is unable to watch the Furious Five competing to be chosen as Dragon Warrior and has to take drastic means to get into the stadium. In the game, you not only get to see Tigress fight the enormous wooden monster, you get to play as her for that event. Throughout the game you get to temporarily play as the other members of the Five and even as Master Shifu. Really fun, imaginative, and not boring or repetitive as many “based on a movie” games often are.
I will update my review after/if I finish the game but at this point, I highly recommend.

I got this for my 13 year old along with 3 other games after he had had surgery and needed to be taking it easy. We haven’t seen the film but that didn’t spoil the enjoyment of the game. It is reasonably varied, has good colourful graphics, and was fairly entertaining. But for his age it was very easy. I think it really is best for gamers up to the age of 10. If you are getting it for an older player I would suggest borrowing or renting as they will finish it very quickly.

One of the better movie to game translations. fast paced action makes it very entertaining for the kids. Adults can enjoy it as well, but the primary audience is for kids. The visuals are quite nice as well. Considering the budget, fun factor, and visuals, the game performs admirably!

My 3 year old son just got this game today and has never played a video game before besides the smart cycle. He can make Po fight and he and my 12 year old daughter love it! The graphics on this game are amazing….the game looks incredible on a 46″ lcd hd tv. This is a good buy and I recommend this game 100%.
