    Having played the first RDKF on the PC, I expected this new one to be a blast as well. It's fun, but this game is missing a crucial element: ONLINE PLAY. This game begs for duking it out online, but all you can do is get some friends over to your house and play. If RDKF had online play I'd definitely give it a 10, but without it this game will get old for you fast.

    Ragdoll Kung Fu, is a very interesting game. The graphics are slick, there is some humor here, and the multiplayer modes are a blast. My main complaints are this, no online play, can be very repetive on certain challenges, and the motion controls are almost uncalled for but mix things up a bit. For the $10 price, its truly depends.

    Harmless fun for a temporarily free game. Kind of un-rag doll like physics, but what can you do?

    Well despite the mainstream reviews I still vote this one a good game to get. It is the Sony answer to Smash Brothers, minus all the options and endless gameplay and of course online. The rumors of patching online are ramped, but no evidence. The game is simple enough for anyone to play, but can get very technical if you want. Combos and special moves are pretty good! Me likey!

    I played this for free, so you know, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. There is not much variety, but the controls are good and the levels are entertaining enough. Getting the 100% of trophies is also an interesting challenge, I could not achieve it.

    Haha this game is hilarious. Of course you have to play it with friends. Alone it offers not enough content.

    Dumb fun to have with your friends. Otherwise, there probably isn't much here worth investigating.

    It's clear that the team is trying to provide an accessible, fast-paced scrap-'em-up that can be enjoyed by all the family, not just autistic puppeteers. In that sense, the game's a modest success, offering a shallow but sometimes riotous playpen for up to four players to scrap away in visually interesting ways. But the slightness of the package means that this polished after-pub game will provide some short-term laughs but only minimal long-term nourishment.

    Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic is a fun little Super Smash Bros clone that is well worth downloading if you feel like beating up your friends. What it lacks in online functionality it makes up for in variation and fun gameplay. It may be a bit boring if you play alone, but it's fun when three of your pals are around.

    It’s engaging, unique, humorous and hugely polished, and earns its place as one of the top original titles on PSN with ease.
