In a select few levels, Kit will need to avoid the detection of perhaps the worst security guards around, all moving in rote patterns trying to track you down. The last, and easily the worst, gameplay component is the forced stealth segments. The levels are all cramped corridors, enemies lack any semblance of intelligence and the simple act of shooting doesn’t feel natural. Kit can take cover behind objects, but without any aiming mechanics in cover, it feels counter-intuitive. You can also use a special dive move, slowing down time to gain the upper hand, but overall, shooting is just bland. The lack of any aiming makes the action feel both shallow and inaccurate. Once again it’s the controls which dog the experience: relying on the right analogue stick, you’re forced to push the stick in the direction you want to aim while using R2 to shoot. The next component is the shooting, which suffers from its own issues. It can grow rather frustrating in the latter parts of the game. Battles late-on can feel drawn out, while bosses are a touch on the cheap side.

The cinematography is great, the action sequences are fantastic and there are even a couple of notable twists. It certainly earns points for recreating Li’s classic films to a tee. But when Chiang is assassinated in cold blood, left with only an envelope to deliver to the boss’s estranged daughter in San Francisco, it’s up to Kit to weave around vicious gang members and uncover a larger conspiracy. ![]() Jet Li stars as undercover cop Kit Yun, serving as a bodyguard to Boss Chiang who was also an acquaintance of Kit’s deceased father. While it boasts the elaborate presentation and action of films like Once Upon a Time in China, its unrefined and often frustrating gameplay puts a major damper on the positives. Rise to Honour would launch in 2004, and led by martial arts specialist Jet Li, would attempt to replicate the film star’s classic movies. From a rail-gun shooter starring Aerosmith to a Bruce Willis-led shoot ‘em up, many developers have relied on celebrities to help sell their games. ![]()
