Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus

"The latest game from Mortal Kombat veteran John Tobias delivers a few innovative concepts, but some bad design decisions make for an irritating brawler. We already miss Sub-Zero."

"The gameplay is complemented by a clean visual presentation. The fighter models boast an ample polygon budget, plenty of detail, and animated faces, though the clothing and hair animations are still a little stiff at this point. The environments are equally detailed and feature a fair number of breakable objects."

"Our time with Tao Feng showed the game to be shaping up to be a solid entry in the fighting genre on the Xbox. The combo system took some getting used to, but it appears to be pretty solid. Our biggest challenge was getting used to the Xbox controller."

"Tao Feng looks and sounds just fine, but it doesn't have a strong enough fighting system to make it a viable option for fans of the genre."

"Tao Feng will make you scream and curse at times, but it's a great fighter. As much as the Quest Mode drove me nuts, I didn't want to stop playing it."
