Why It's Not Legendary

 * 1) The title makes absolutely no sense, though this is probably intentional.
 * 2) It's a shameless rip-off of mh:awesomegames:Super Smash Bros., and it shows.
 * 3) Ugly and dated graphics that look like an older PS3 game, the first Kung Fu Panda looked better.
 * 4) Unresponsive, clunky and confusing controls.
 * 5) For unknown reason, a keyboard can't be used in the PC version.
 * 6) The characters you can play don't fit in the game. Like Soothsayer and Baby Po from Kung Fu Panda 2.
 * 7) Bad stage design.
 * 8) Some characters (like Master Monkey) sound nothing like they did in the movies or the TV show.
 * 9) Horrible combat mechanics.
 * 10) Long loading times on most of the console versions.
 * 11) The online mode is pretty bad and just as lame as offline mode, in fact the servers on console versions are down now.
 * 12) While the cutscenes are very good, the in-game animations look horrible and undone.
 * 13) The story-mode feels stupid and unnecessary because you have all the stages already unlocked in the game without finishing the story.
 * 14) The 3DS version is horrendous. Even the DS game for 2008 Kung Fu Panda and 2011 Kung Fu Panda 2 looks better!
 * 15) Like most other bad Dreamworks games, it feels like a lazy cash-in compared to some good DreamWorks games like the first Kung Fu Panda, mh:awesomegames:Shrek 2 and mh:awesomegames:Madagascar.
 * 16) The lip-syncing is awful and doesn't match the characters' dialogue. Sometimes when they talk, they don't even move their lips.
 * 17) Even the match end screen is ripped off from Smash Bros., which makes it a true rip-off.
 * 18) Finishing the story mode gives you absolutely nothing.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Good voice acting (except for a few characters). The actor who voiced Po (Mick Wingert) did a decent impression of Jack Black. Mr. Ping's voice actor, James Hong, reprised his role, and his performance is still as good as ever.
 * 2) Decent soundtrack that sounds like it's from the movies.
 * 3) There are DLCs, but now they are only on the PC/Steam version that add-in more characters and makes the game more fun.
 * 4) The animations in the cutscenes are very good.
 * 5) At least the loading times are short in the PC version, depending on what graphics card you use.
