Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Electronic Games

Few oriental films, as beautifully crafted as they may be, make it over to western shores, but when one does, it doesn't go unnoticed. The year 2000 saw the release of Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in the UK. It was hugely successful, and even the presence of subtitles didn't discourage avid British cinema-goers. Three years on, Ubi Soft and Genki have finally released a video game equivalent for Game Boy Advance. When Mu Bai gives his legendary sword to his lover and fellow Wudan warrior Shu Lien, he anticipates retiring to a life of peace. However, Green Destiny - the sword in question - mysteriously vanishes, sparking an intrigue that leads to a defiant young aristocrat and her sinister mentor - Mu Bai's arch-nemesis Jade Fox. In the intricate world of 19th-century China, three master warriors must transcend the laws of space, gravity, and the human body to do battle against not only their fiercest enemies, but with the conflicting forces within themselves. Considerably different from its PS2 counterpart, Crouching Tiger for GBA is a classic side-scrolling adventure in which players must progress through numerous locations based upon the film, disposing of myriad super ninjas in the progress. Players are granted with the same super-human abilities as the characters from the film, and they can even engage in horse chases. The adventure also includes several platform elements of gaming, making Crouching Tiger a diverse experience. Fans of the film will enjoy Crouching Tiger, but it will also appeal to those who enjoy classic gaming from the 16-bit era.

Aero Wings
Aerowings attempts to do what few have attempted, and far fewer have succeeded in doing... producing a flight sim that appeals to arcade games players. Such games always run the risk of not being action packed enough for combat fans, and not realistic enough for flight sim aficionados. Aerowings is probably guilty of this too, but for those who seek something a bit more challenging than G-Loc, it'...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A strange thing happens to men in their mid-twenties when you mention the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Many of them were embarrassingly obsessed with the massive franchise. Stories of collecting tokens from The Mirror for free cinema tickes; of doing anything to be able to play the original arcade game; they're more commonplace than you may imagine. On that note, it's worth mentioning that Konami...
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II
The original Baldur's Gate on the PC is still regarded by many as the epitome of RPG joy, thanks to its deep and involving gameplay mechanic and faithful reliance on traditional role-playing elements, characters and scenarios. 2001 saw the series hit the home console market in the form of Dark Alliance - itself proving extremely popular with fans of the genre, whilst also introducing the game to a...
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
An open-ended story on an impossibly grand scale, Morrowind has constantly impressed PC gamers since its release in May 2002. It was only a matter of time until the game made it across to Microsoft's PC-in-a-box console. The exact same game as the PC version, albeit with the solidity we can expect from a console, Morrowind delivers the third chapter in the on-going Elder Scrolls series, which last...
