Asian Action movie themed games

Post by Gamerforlife »

So I recently played Sleeping Dogs. I've played Stranglehold in the past. I've heard of the Yakuza games but haven't played them. I've played Wet, which is more of a grindhouse thing, but it has Asian movie elements to it. There was a Jet Li game on the PS2 that I heard was decent. I think it was called Rise to Honor

Any other cool games you guys know of with an Asian action movie vibe, or just a general martial arts movie vibe.

Jackie Chan Stuntmaster on PS1.

I remember playing it a good bit when I was younger, and I remember it being pretty decent.

The Warriors isn't really an asian action movie, it's an American cult movie from the late 70s.

That being said, the game kicks ass and it does the film justice. It's a great gem of a game. I highly recommend watching the movie, then playing the game.
