This game has a lot of different gameplay to offer. Stealth, beat 'em up, gun fighting, all the sorts. It's control scheme is unique and hard to get use to, but very fun once you do get use to it. The soundtrack is surprisingly noticed. Details of the backgrounds are gorgeous. Even with all of the diversity, the game does get tedious in some parts. But it's a solid beat 'em up title. I'd love to have seen some kind of 2-player ability when the main character meets up with his side-kick.

WOW

controls are horrible. they need to rethink the controls for attacking. graphics are great and the story is good. also, it is very difficult, not to mention fustrating, when trying to attack multiple enemies when they are all attacking at once. once you fall, they keep attacking and you don't have a chance to get up until half your life is gone. personally, it would be a good game to rent...not buy. i regret spending my money on buying it.

Kung Fu Fighting!!!!

This game is off the hook. The Graphics are awesome and the moves are cool too. Jet Li:Rise to Honor should be ranked #1 for a week. Though it does have its downsides like gun control & fighting moves. The levels are also very hard. I would give this game a 4 1/2 stars!

One of, If not the Best Martial art game I've ever played

Jet Li Rise to Honor awesome to say the least. As for the fun factor, I've had this game for 2 or 3 years and I STILL play it.
Pros:
This game is almost too fun because of the motion capture technology. It captures the very essence of what his fighting style really is and just how fast and agile he can really move. The Graphics aren't all that great but hey, for 2004 it could be worse. One of the greatest things about it is that is uses the analog sticks instead of the square or circle or triangle button. Also, because the analog can go in any direction, Jet Li can attack in all four directions. Another thing that's very innovative is the use of the R1 and L1 buttons, R1 being block, holding R1 and L1 to counter attack, and hold down L1 for Adrenaline. The cool thing is when you block you just dodge any incoming attacks that an enemy/ies throws at you. Then you just hold down L1 and flick the analog to Counterattack. The catch is that you can only dodge and do counters for so long, which is indicated by two bars right under your health. Also, Counterattacks deplete your Adrenaline bar, so use them wisely. Oh yeah, Adrenaline. Your Adrenaline bar fills up with the more attacks you get on an enemy/ies. (Usually they start you off with full Adrenaline) Getting to use weapons was a very nice touch. Although the Gun Controls are a little tricky at first, once you get the hang of it it's not long before you start gunnin' down enemies with ease. You also get to use swords, pipes, bats, bats with spikes, and even a chicken in one level. Another awesome feature, is that the levels are all split into Chapters. I know, you're probably thinking as in a lot of big levels. But it's not. The chapters are all little things like some of the small stuff that you do. Kinda like if you were in one spot for a while you can go there. Finally, the best thing is that when you beat the game, you can play it on hard mode, and you get two outfits (one is from "Once Upon a Time in China" and the other is from "Fist of Legend" or something closely related). Ok now for the Bad.

Cons:

This game was a little iffy on some of the levels. Most were very easy. Even the Final Boss is easy (but very fun). Some of the missions were so hard I can't believe that my brother and I got to the final boss. The Controls may be very well done, but the only thing is that there's no leveling up or anything that you can add to Jet. He just has the same 5 hits in each direction (which isn't bad, but it gets really annoying). The Weapons weren't really all that varied. The weapon was always the same type. In other words: it's always related to a sword (i.e. a crowbar, bat, a chicken...)so it was always the same length. It would have been nice if they could have added a Bo Staff or something... Another thing, was that the new outfits aren't all that great. Because they each have their own little perk which is either speed or more adrenaline (actually that's it) their health goes down easier which is not all that great.

All in all, this game may have had room for improvement, But it's still one of THE best martial art games out there. BUY IT NOW!!!! STOP WASTING TIME ALREADY!!!
