Jackie Chan. Legend.
Jackie Chan Adventures . Not.
This console version of the popular
Saturday morning kids cartoon of the
same name does not deserve to disgrace
the name of Jackie Chan in the way it
does. A cell-shaded adventure game in
the same graphical style as the most
recent in the Zelda series, with
gameplay similar to Indiana Jones: The
Empereor's Tomb , this abysmal game is
blatantly cashing in on the name of Mr
Chan. With classics such as Rumble in
the Bronx under his belt, and the
aforementioned kids cartoon bringing his
name to a new generation, you would
expect Jackie Chan Adventures to live up
to the kung-fu master's high standards.
But in all honesty, Jackie Chan features
nowhere within this game. He doesn't
even provide the voice for himself! And
the less said of the random Mr Miyagi
cum Yoda hybrid with a fishing rod the
better!
