They got the physics right, but the fun was left out

When RDKF hit PSN, many people went out and spent 10 dollars on it, only to find out it was free a week later. Those who spent ten dollars on it, got half a product. Rag Doll Kung Fu is a charming title that has enough mini games to last you about two hours.
In Rag Doll Kung Fu, you participate in seven mini games that help you to learn the ropes in the game. Sadly, there is nothing left to do except try and beat your old scores. There is not much playability after you've beaten the game. The mini games help you to customize your very own rag doll avatar (hurray for sackboy) and you can duke it out with your friends. Locally. Thats right folks, no online so your stuck with the computer. Which is extremely cheap at times. If your lucky enough to get silver on all the challenges, then kudos to you. The controls are lacking and very unresponsive. Now, as good an idea as it is, we all hate sixaxis right? Well, in this game, they fine tuned it, but more often then not, I wasn't doing the firefly when I wanted to. No matter how many times I held the square button and jolted the controller in the direction I wanted to, it wouldn't firefly. During one of the challenges, this happened to me many times and the firefly is essential to winning. And the cheap computer never runs out of chi which is extremely unfair, so they have unlimited firefly.
The graphics on the other hand are gorgeous. In HD, they are beautiful and everything is immensely detailed. The sound though, is incredibly annoying. During the introductory scene of each match, you have the option to move your arms and legs via R2 L2 and sixaxis. But, the dolls make extremely obnoxious noises and the music overall is annoying. The wannabe chinese music mixed in with hip hop will make you mute your stereo. All in all, Rag Doll Kung Fu will give you about 2 hours worth of fun. That is, if you haven't smashed your controller throught the wall.
