Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story
Bruce Lee finally recieves a SNES game. But does it really matter since the game is so-so. Fans of Mr. Lee will be glad to know that all the levels are based off of the actual movies. So you'll be seeing key moments such as the battle against the Russian (or was he American?) where he's throwing blocks of ice at Lee. And another were Bruce is taking on a tall basketball guy with an afro. These neat touches really add so much to the game. And the differences between each level really helps to break up the action. The control is well suited. Allowing for some trademark moves & stunts. Great stuff that any Kung Fu fan will have a blast seeing. And there's a Two player mode to boot as well. Even though it doesn't make sense why there's two Bruce Lee's. The major problem that breaks this game is the fact that it's really pretty easy. And there just isn't enough content in the game to keep you happy for long. Extra modes of play would have been nice, along with some other characters to play through with. Something else that just would have given you reason to keep going. But what is here is only good enough for a rental's time. And that's all you'll need to completely beat the game. Maybe somebody else will make the next game even better.
