| Description |
| The concept of games with a cinematic touch isn't exactly anything new. Some developers have been chasing the dream of presenting their products as interactive movies for years, with varying levels of success. These days, however, the technology is there to really make this dream more of a reality. But just because a game can properly emulate the storytelling and tension of a movie doesn't automatically make it great. Sony's new beat-'em-up, Rise to Honor, may have the flashy action and storytelling that you'd expect from a martial arts flick, but unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't hold up its end of the bargain. Jet Li's voice and likeness provide the basis for Kit Yun, the lead character of Rise to Honor. Martial arts superstar Jet Li stars--in polygonal form--in Rise to Honor. Li plays an undercover cop named Kit Yun. Kit has infiltrated a Hong Kong crime family and begins the game in charge of protecting the leader of the syndicate, Boss Chiang. Without spoiling too much of the story, you're eventually put on a path to San Francisco to find Chiang's daughter. But there are forces out there who want to prevent you from reaching your goal, and you'll have to do a lot of fighting and shooting to complete your mission. |
