Well well, now it is time to examine one of my childhood favorites! Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu was one of those games I owned originally for my good old Famicom, my 8-bit wonder that still works perfectly today. The action platformer is the game I played most often back in the day, and now, it is time to give my critique of this game.

Graphics: The game's graphics are good, and all the characters, enemies, and whatever, are all nicely depicted with large, colorful sprites. The bosses are well drawn, the backgrounds are varied, etc. The only legitimate complain I can usher is that Jackie's sprite looks a bit too dull. There is nothing that makes it uniquely "Jackie Chan", so that is a complaint, but not a big one.

Sound: The sounds in this game are good, not great. All sound effects are appropriate, so not much can be said. What really is wonderful though, is that the music is fantastic. I always hum at least one of these tunes constantly throughout my day, and that on its own shows its rivalry to even the best the NES has to offer. A definite plus.

Addictiveness: The game, being a platformer, is only addictive to the lover of this genre. Not much can be said.

Story: Like many early NES games, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu has little story to speak of. Jackie must rescue some girl from another Kung-Fu master. This is revealed mainly in the manual. Not much to talk about here either.

Depth: Not a very deep game. JCAKF is simply a platformer. A gamer will breeze through this game in about 20 minutes. Not much is offered.

Difficulty: JCAKF is seriously one of the more difficult games in the NES library. Imagine Mega Man without a gun and using fists only. That is how difficult this game is. However, it is built fairly: no cheap enemy placements, easy stage hazards, etc. Well balanced, but still challenging.

Overall: JCAKF is one good NES game. It is unfortunate that it is not well known by most gamers. However, I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a challenge. There is not much to it, but it is one good experience. Enjoy.

This is a decent review for you first review. I really liked how you put it in sections which made it easy for me to read! Keep up the excellent work!! I would say to add a little more detail though in some of your objectives.

Nice review. I like the Jackie Chan movies but I don't like the NES games.
