Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon is a beat 'em up video game featuring martial artist Bruce Lee. It was developed by Ronin Entertainment and published by Universal Interactive. It was released in Europe and the United States for the Xbox in 2002 to a negative critical reception. A planned sequel was cancelled.
Gameplay
Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon is a pure beat 'em up, using a 3D graphics engine and consisting of normal section where the player is brawling against multiple common enemies, and of one-on-one boss fights. New Jeet Kune Do-style moves can be purchased for the coins gained by beating up enemies.
Plot
The game features a story line in which 24-year-old Bruce battles multiple enemies to rescue his kidnapped father and retrieve the mystical Golden Relic from an organized crime organization known as Black Lotus, led by mysterious "Dragon Lady", whose father Chai Wan was inadvertently killed by Lee. Players control Lee through a series of areas set in various locations around the world, including Hong Kong, London and San Francisco. The game's bosses include Dragon Lady's sisters, including Cleopatra and Rhianna, and her other followers, such as Cobra and female ninja assassin Tsuki.
Development
On May 17, 2001, Microsoft announced an exclusive partnership with Universal Interactive to publish Bruce Lee games for the Xbox.
Reception
The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. The most often cited complaints were about inadequate controls and combat lock-on system, low-quality graphics, frequent loading times, bad plot and voice acting, and the lack of any in-game tutorials. IGN regarded Quest of the Dragon as vastly inferior to the Game Boy Advance game Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend. GamePro said, "The game itself quickly bogs down into a long, repetitive walk-and-punch beat-em-up game."
The game was nominated for the "Worst Game on Xbox" award at GameSpot's Best and Worst of 2002 Awards, which went to Gravity Games Bike: Street Vert Dirt.
In 2011, UGO.com included it in their list of 102 worst video games ever created, calling it "as close to blasphemy as the fighting genre gets."
