Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu (NES, 1990)
Graphics-9 Sound-8 Control-8 Challenge-6.5
Level Design-7.5 Frustration-6 Fun-8 Originality-6
Overall Score-7.5
+
Excellent animation and spritework
Large and mostly fun to fight bosses
Great variation
Fast autoscrolling segments
Cool special attacks
Hidden special stages (each one is different)
-
Scrolling is too loose when walking left (you end up at the edge of the screen)
Not much of a difference between moves (except for somersault)
The charge attacks auto-cancel after a few seconds (but you keep the stock)
Strange dive move in mid-air
No options
A bit short
Last boss is too easy (second to last is much harder)
