We have our reporters and community keeping an eye on Kung Fu Panda for you, and we'll keep you up to date with the latest developments as they happen.

Based on the movie, Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors is such a typical movie game that it's hard to find any innovation at all. If you've played a beat-em-up game before you might be familiar with the game's style - beat up a bunch of rats/bulls/something else, then beat up the boss. Luckily for Kung Fu Panda, occasionally there are some interesting differences. The Wii's unique motion controls and the movie tie-in make this somewhat more interesting than it initially seems.

First off, because it's on the Wii it's different the other versions. Instead of the mind numbing boringness of mashing a button to attack, you shake the Wii-mote and Nun-chuck in different combinations to perform different moves. So, I could be shaking the Wii-mote up and down to perform an attack, or swinging both controllers in opposite directions to perform a heavy attack. To be honest, this was cool at first, but eventually it became kind of monotonous in the same way as pressing buttons a normal controller would be.

This is a sequel game to the original film spin off, a platform fighter game. I haven't seen the film, or even played the first game so I can't compare it to either of those, but I did really enjoy the game. I was quite excited to play it because I like fighting games like Super Smash, but I did wonder whether I'd rather have played it on the Wii so that I could really do the Kung Fu actions! Still, I enjoyed it on the DS anyway.

The game opens with an introduction, which tells you that the Furious Five are missing, and it is your mission to rescue them. Initially you can play as either of two characters, Po the Panda or Tigress, but once you have completed the game with these two then you unlock other playable characters. The game teaches you the controls in an introductory level, and I found them easy to pick up, although sometimes it was tricky to swap between the stylus and the buttons!
