Ragdoll Kung Fu - Preview/Play & Help Thread

Hubba-EX · 10-04-2009, 10:25 AM

Not seen much info on this, just got released on PSN yesterday. Is it any good?

I am not expecting Super Smash Bros quality, but how does it stack up for 4-player fun - got some friends coming round this weekend. Also thinking of getting Calling all Cars on promo price at the moment.

Tonks01 · 10-04-2009, 12:39 PM

Played this quite awhile ago, its good fun ala super smash bro's PLUS its from the same people as LittleBigPlanet, My lack of real life friends willing to play video games with me is my only barrier to purchase

Hubba-EX · 10-04-2009, 11:42 PM

Yeah, my friends don't really game either. So I am hoping it is very casual friendly.

Played a bit of Motorstorm 2 earlier, and it was too hard (even difficult for me, hard to see where to go, especially difficult with 4-player split screen (37" TV).

Not necessary dissapointed, as I didn't have high hopes.. but I did think there was an online - which there isn't.

I did the tutorial and played two deathmatch games versus AI before I got bored of this title.

Great game for OFFLINE multiplayer for up to 4 players. (Assuming you have someone to play with

)

Had a few games of this against a mate on Sat night, really good fun.

Good laugh playing the Fish in the Basket game, Dodgeball and King of the Hill, much better than the plain fighting parts.

We did get bored after about 30 mins though but it's a good game for a quick blast on every now and again.

Ditto that, I just got this as well, it's not a game that you can keep playing, but fantastic for short blasts on it whenever people come round

Anyone managed to get that Combo Meal trophy yet? I don't know how to get it, anyone got any tips? Thanks

ridgerama · 14-05-2009, 9:22 PM

Yep full game.

humanfish · 14-05-2009, 11:51 PM

Great

I've downloaded it but haven't had the chance to try it yet, is it full of adverts? Sprint everywhere

No adverts. It's the same version that was released for purchase. It's sponsored by Sprint but there is no mention of them in the game.

It's bizarre though that a game so focused on multiplayer does not have an online mode.

humanfish · 15-05-2009, 12:01 AM

really? How strange, especially from the makers of LBP

I think that it's bizarre that the game is being given away FOC

However, this could be the future - A company sponsoring a game for a limited time (advertising on PSN being the insentive), & in return we receive free content

So long as adverts don't completely ruin the experience, then Sony could be onto a winner here - for all parties involved

FourthLion · 15-05-2009, 9:43 AM

I have to say it's much better than that free Doritos sponsored game we got over on Xbox Live

Stupid dinosaur. Aside from it being **** I had a few problems witht hat game: 1) Why would vans be delivering doritos door to door? 2) Since when did dinosaurs like doritos? 3) Even if they do, how would a T rex open the packets?

Anyway back on topic, I can't get on with this Rag Doll Kung Fu game. It looks nice but I really don't get it. Oh and I played for a whole 10 minutes and got NO TROPHIES! Rubbish download

But seriously not too bad for a freebie, I just feel sorry for all the people that grabbed it in the last couple of weeks, would have been nicer of Sony to use a newly released game.

EDIT: I think this download was worth it just for that theme song alone! Wow.

sunnybacon · 15-05-2009, 5:07 PM

AAAARGH

I'm so p'd off that I just bought the game last week

Although I did game share it with 4 other people, so it didn't really cost me much anyway

It is a great game, although the lack of an online mode does baffle me.

A bit late to the party. It's already been mentioned both here and in the Bargains forum.

Ow I saw it in the bargains forum and looked here and did not see it posted.

*phairplay* · 16-05-2009, 3:32 PM

just played it and what a great game to play with a few lads and many beers lol

great way to promote the playstation network by have certain games free for a limted time

Decadence1 · 16-05-2009, 3:35 PM

Yep it would be great with a few mates.

Super smash bros brawl-esque.

Great for a short blast when trying to vent anger on a few ninjas.

sunnybacon · 16-05-2009, 3:52 PM

Anyone managed Gold on every challenge yet?
I've just managed to scrape a silver on most of them, but looking at far I get on my way to gold each time, I have a long way to go

The golds seem impossible!

I've managed a couple on the earlier challenges but on the others I only managed silvers and bronzes.

*phairplay* · 16-05-2009, 4:31 PM

if any of you want your plastic backside handed to you. drop me a message

Hulligan · 16-05-2009, 4:37 PM

theres no online multiplayer so it'd be a bit pointless phairplay

Yep, I'm hoping it comes in a future update though

I'd be a bit annoyed if they release online multiplayer in premium DLC, it should be a feature that was already in the game, and not something we have to pay extra for.

Managed gold on King of the Hill and silver on everything else

Some of them are right evil, I had to stop after fireflying for 20 mins trying to get a silver on the last level - my shoulder muscles are killing me now, the motion sensor controls do take it out of you, very wii-esque
