In the Valley of Peace, a region of ancient China filled with various walking, talking animals, Po is a panda who is largely unsuccessful and unmotivated. The story follows the same basic structure of the film, although it takes many liberties with the film's script in order to provide more enemies to fight. Po can upgrade all of his statistics and special moves with coins found throughout the level the player can upgrade him at any point in the pause menu or between levels.īosses and mini-bosses are also present when they appear, they are usually beaten with repeated attacks and/or quick time events. In addition to the main goal of the level there will sometimes be simple collection or exploration-related quests in order to achieve 100% completion for the level. Po moves through the levels with basic platforming techniques and fights enemies regularly along the way. Throughout the majority of the game, players will take control of Po, although they will also control Master Shifu and members of the Furious Five in some levels.

Kung Fu Panda's gameplay is relatively simple in order to be accessible to children. Luxoflux created the Xbox 360 and PS3 version XPEC Entertainment handled the Wii and PS2 versions Vicarious Visions made the DS version Beenox Studios developed the PC/ Mac game. Publisher Activision divided development responsibilities for Kung Fu Panda between multiple studios. Like the movie it is based off of, it has elements of humor and light-hearted fighting. Gameplay consists largely of three-dimensional platforming mixed with beat-em-up combat. The game ties-in with the popular animated film, and follows the story of Po, a slacker of a panda who has aspirations of becoming a great Kung Fu warrior.
