Po will have to come to the rescue to save the day by becoming the fabled Dragon Warrior.

Before starting the game, players can select Student, Master or the Dragon Warrior difficulty setting, giving the control on how hard the want the adventures to be. The game features standard platform style gaming with lots of coins to collect, wave after wave of hogs, and boxes to smash open and gorillas to vanquish.

The game play also comes to life with additional styles, like aiming and shooting huge catapults and pushing button combos in rhythm, with flying scenes and rolling Po around in his Panda Ball Sonic the Hedgehog.

There is a multiplayer option which allows up to four friends to fight each other in an arena style fights.

The game has an ESRB rating of E10+, with content describe as Fantasy Violence and Mild Language. Just like in the movies, fighting is a major part of the game. Po picks up numerous combo attacks throughout the adventure, many graphic in nature – from super-charged body slams and devastating “panda quakes” to juggling enemies before punching them out.

The language used which may cause some concern are freaking awesome and compliments like you did not suck and the likes.
