    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game idea was very good, but when i played the game it wasnt that good like the back of the game box said. The game was really bad and the worst thing was the story , i will tell you what i remember when i was young : (SPOILER ALERT)
    You're training wis your sensei and the ather guy, then Ming Mong, the seneis sister or daughter went to get some moshrooms, then there was a scene when 2 weid looking ninjas talking like monkeys where serving his master, a guy in a sunglasses. After giving him beer and cigarette he wanted Ming Mong, so the ninjas kidnapped her. then you, sensei, and the fat learner that i dont remember his name go to rescue her. On our way we find A **** TROLL, and what do we do?
    THROW ROCKS AT HIM TILL HE GET ANGRY.
    (Now i ask myself : Why? He didnt do nothing to the girl so why do we bully him?)
    Then the "troll" gets the fat learners nunchako or whatever you call it, kills him and then he waves the nunchako and flys away. (this idea probalby was made by a guy that was smoking drugs)
    So after that we come to the a woman that smokes cigarettes and then we realize that this was an ambush.
    Sensei dies but we survive after the fight, we regenerate our health and we go to kill the guy with sunglasses and rescue Ming Mong.
    Then i dont remember what happened because i didnt complete the game. Why do i dont want to go back?
    Because the voice acting was just endless mumbling that isnt chinese or japanese.
    The mumbling voice is also plaing when the character moves.

    My personal rating:
    Graphics : 6/10
    Sound : 3/10
    Gameplay : 2/10

    This game has good physics but it impossible to move around or do what you want. The limbs are soo small that every time I tried punching or stepping I would just be flung around the screen. The special items that drop are usually just food and there aren't many cool items.

Don't but this game, nothing like SSB.… Expand

    It's a novel idea, but that doesn't make it a good game. First, the controls are interesting in theory, but frustrating to actually work. And then there's the rest of the game...that's it. This isn't a full game, it's an experiment. An expensive one at that, for what I paid.

    Unparalleled style, fantastic artwork, and a blast to play at LANs. I was excited about RDKF since the first trailer came out and have not been disappointed!

    Buen juego que hace recordar a viejos videojuegos como el artes marciales. Las escenas cinemáticas y la tremenda movilidad de cada personaje durante el juego aumentan tanto la calidad como la adicción.

    Reasons why this game gets a 9 in my book ; Clean, unique styled GFX. Great value for money. Great party game Funny and cheesy storyline, good for a few runs through on time attack. Online function. Custom Skin creation.

    Awesomely cool! Passes the feeling of the old martial-arts movies, either by the great, simple, fnu & funny gameplay, and by the additional features, like the grain filter, the music, and the backgrounds.

    A very good and original game, inovative and fun! but the lack of patches,support and the long w8 no see world editor droped the rating and the intrest of the gamers.

    Quirky and fun for a few minutes but sadly it's not the game play revolution that the hype makes it out to be.

    A thousand thanks for game-induced bliss We should all be proud of this independent effort by game developers Mark Healey. On a personal level, I would like to give my praise to Mark for creating a refreshing interlude in today

    It's fun, and right now it's even cheaper (only 5 bucks until Feb. 8th). I definitely know that I'll get more than 5 bucks worth of enjoyment out of it - even out of just the video sequences!

    HILARIOUS fun and the mini games keep you playing for time to come. Personally I love this game. The completely unique gameplay and visual styles are truly stunning, of course at first it's not a game you can just pick up and go, once you get better and more comfortable with how the controls work you can have hours of fun, and once you're good it's even good for just HILARIOUS fun and the mini games keep you playing for time to come.

And the fact that you can upload your own skins of you and your friends is amazing. Nothing better than watching myself kick a friend in the face and watch the hilarious expression of pain on his face :D. Of course this isn't some epic game that requires 70+ hours of gameplay but if you like fast, good fun I highly recommend this game.… Expand

    It's fun and a real new experience. Lack of updates and laggy online-play pushes my vote.

    Very hard to control and figure out what the heck is going on. Gets a 4 instead of a 0 because it is hilarious to play with the rag dolls for about 5 minutes. Not really practical for playing the actual game. Cute characters, look exactly like our kung fu trainers at the local kung fu school.

    Not a game for everyone, but if your in the mood for something different this is the way to go. Multiplayer has pretty much died (aside from 2 or 3 servers) for the moment unfortunatly. Multiplay was where the game really shined. But with a retail release coming sometime in the near future there should be resurgance of players

    Very original and fairly entertaining - however, the quirkiness of the UI and rag-tag approach to story have lead to poor lasting appeal for me. Nonetheless - well worth the price-tag!

    Totally awesome and original. I feel a lot of magazines didn't give it the rating it deserves through lack of playing.
    "The camera pans and zooms as it pleases, so keeping tabs on yourself is tough enough" <-- There was an option in even the review copies to turn off auto zoom etc, so this is an example of what I mean :(

    Original and...it works! Very rare for original and awesome game to fall into the same catagory. I would have given it a 9 for a normal game price, but add in the low price and this deserves a top vote from me! For people who like new games, fighting games, and have a sense of humor.

    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. [Jan 2006, p.103]

    Even though this game is an indie effort, the art and sound production are professional-quality. [Jan 2006, p.57]
