The adorable white and black bear seems all perked up for returning to the gaming domain. Well, we’ve heard word from THQ about the next Kung Fu Panda chapter. The company has revealed that Kung Fu Panda 2 will make its way to the Kinect for Xbox 360, PS3, uDraw GameTablet for the Wii and Nintendo DS.
This new installment will enable gamers to don the garb of Po for saving kung fu from a new evil threat. In the game, players will have to reinstate the balance of power by defeating terrifying adversaries. The Kinect for Xbox 360 version of this offering will allow enthusiasts to learn kung fu moves from Po himself. With this, Xbox 360 owners can gain varied kung fu skills while blocking, dodging, punching and kicking enemies.
“Kung Fu Panda 2 brings enormous innovation and creativity to build on the excitement of the movie,” explained Mary Beth Haggerty, THQ’s Vice President of Product Development, Kids, Family and Casual Games. “The team brought unique elements to each platform so players can have a different experience with the same great story.”
Wii players can set out on an interesting ride across the in-game world with their uDraw GameTablet. They can control Po with the device’s stylus and protect the city of Gongmen through the story mode. The title will splash an epic battle on gamers’ systems against colorful and lively backdrops. Additionally, the drawing mode enables them to add color into vivid pieces of character art and objects for expanding the populace in the story mode.
Po will also sprinkle the PS3 platform with acu-punches, thunder strikes and kung fu curls for solving several issues. It requires gamers to wisely strategize a plan with the help of Po’s tuleage. Those who would like to dive into this world while on the move can toss out their Nintendo DS systems. This version has been wrapped with an addictive card game dubbed Five-Card Fu, allowing aficionados to either play alone or with a friend. Placed in a 3×3 grid, it facilitates them to blend strategy with numerical values for emerging victorious in the game.
The Kung Fu Panda 2 video game is anticipated to release alongside the highly anticipated sequel of the original movie. The film has been scheduled to hit theatres in the latter half of May this year. Players can also sign up on the game’s official website to undergo training through online videos and mini games before its final arrival.
