Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film of 2000, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon comes to the PlayStation 2 console as an action game featuring the aerobatic moves and rhythmic swordplay as witnessed in the Ang Lee-directed film. Taking place in 19th century China, two warriors skilled in the Wudan style of martial arts are brought together to determine the fate of a sword called the Green Destiny. After it is stolen by a young female ninja, the characters vow to recapture it at all costs.
Players will explore the following environments from the film as they prepare to engage enemies as Li Mu Bai, Yu Shu Lien, Jen Yu, or Lo: the bamboo forest, waterfall, bar room, Governors Palace, and streets of Beijing. Each character offers distinct moves, abilities, and weapons while fighting in the streets, on rooftops, in water, and atop trees. Players can run, climb, hang, jump, block, dodge, and use combo attacks in their pursuit of the evil Jade Fox and quest to recover the fabled sword. The story unfolds with cut-scenes featuring Mandarin dialogue with English subtitles, like the U.S. release of the film.
Set in 19th Century China, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a martial arts fighting game based on the classic teachings and techniques of the Wudan style. Combining adventure and intense, dynamic combat with the ability to explore lush, interactive environments, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon suspends the laws of space, gravity, and the human body. Players represent one of four characters: Li Mu Bai, Yu Shu Lien, Jen Yu, or Lo.
Each character possesses specific moves, talents, and deadly weapons; players must work to improve their fighting skills as they compete against intelligent foes and seek revenge against the sinister Jade Fox (killer of Li Mu Bai's master and Yu Shu Lien's fiance). The gameplay experience effectively captures the martial arts magic and fluidity of movement that made the film a huge success:
* Engage in the intricate sword-fighting and superhuman acrobatics of the movie
* Run, jump, leap, climb, hang, block, dodge, fight hand-to-hand, defy gravity, and use special combination moves unique to each character
* Explore environments from the film including the bamboo forest, the waterfall, the bar room, the Governors Palace, and the streets of Beijing
* Use strategy and strength to vanquish enemies on the ground, on rooftops, atop trees, and in the water
* Relive the film experience with rich storylines, distinctive characters, and Mandarin dialogue with English subtitles
