Reception
The game was highly anticipated, but was panned by critics. It has an aggregate rating of 35.51% on GameRankings.[2] It was a runner-up for GameSpot's annual "Most Disappointing Game on Xbox" and overall "Worst Game of the Year on Xbox" awards.[3] The most often cited complaints were about inadequate controls and combat lock-on system, low-quality graphics, frequent loading times, bad plot and voice acting, and the lack of any in-game tutorials. IGN regarded Quest of the Dragon as vastly inferior to the Game Boy Advance game Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend.[4] In 2011, UGO.com included it in their list of 102 worst video games ever created, calling it "as close to blasphemy as the fighting genre gets."[5]
