Released this May in North America, Legend of the Dragon from The Game Factory and Neko Entertainment is a new fighting game for the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), Nintendo Wii, and PS2. We previously had a chat with the developers of the game, and they pretty much convinced us to get the game and play it.

What's Legend of the Dragon all about? Based on the animated TV series, this game is your typical battle between good and evil, but with a lot of twists in the plot and gameplay. There are 18 playable characters in the game, all of whom can transform into mythical warriors with the power of the Zodiac they represent. Your goal is to defeat the Zodiac Master who plans to take the power of the 12 Zodiac guardians. There are 8 different game modes and three multiplayer modes in Legend of the Dragon, so the game's really worth a look.

If you still aren't sure if you want to buy the video game even with all that said, we've got a lot of screenshots here that might change your mind. Europe will be getting the game first week of June.

When Karl B. mentioned that Legend of the Dragon (for the PSP, Wii, and PS2) would have "magical armbands and kung-fu monkeys," he wasn't kidding. In fact, not only would there be Jet Li-ified chimps, but also oxen, tigers, and the rest of the cast in the Chinese zodiacs. The game is, after all, based on the BKN animated series of the same name.

To see all of those zodiacs doing martial arts (complete with the whole spell-casting gameplay too), here's the second trailer for Legend of the Dragon. Now we get to see how all of its unique features are played out. Check out all those lighting effects every time they transform. Pretty, huh?

Can't wait for Legend of the Dragon? We'll here another batch of screenshots to tide you over until then.

The Game Factory's Legend of the Dragon is based from the BKN animated series of the same name. The premise is pretty simple. The story centers on twins Ang and Ling (who turns to the dark side). Plus an evil Zodiac Master plots to get the power bands from the 12 Zodiac to revive the Emperor of the Darkest Yin (the name itself should give you an idea).

Anyway, Legend of the Dragon will make an appearance on the PSP, Wii and PS2. The PSP and Wii versions are slated for a May 1 release in North America, while Europe stores get it May 18. While waiting, might as well check out the screens.

The battle between good and evil has been fought countless times, by countless representatives, on countless battlefields. This year, the battle's taking place against the prosaic backdrop of China's sacred temples. The combatants? A young warrior stands ready at the side of good, while an evil magician musters his forces to achieve dominion over the world.

OK, enough with the flowery prose. We managed to score an interview with The Game Factory, the team behind Legend of the Dragon, the upcoming fighting game for the Sony PSP and Nintendo Wii. Legend of the Dragon is based on the BKN animated series of the same name and features lightning-fast martial arts action, beautiful graphics, and innovative RPG-style mechanics. Oh, and magic armbands and kung-fu monkeys, too.

For those familiar with the series Legend of the Dragon by BKN, here's a treat for you. It's bit too late for the Chinese new year but hey, here's some new info about the Legend of the Dragon.

For the unfamiliar, the story starts with Ang and Ling Leung who happens to be twins. Ang gets chosen to be the Golden Dragon and Ling - in her disappointment, joins the forces of Woo Yin. Storyline centers on the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. In game, they have each have a temple and a temple guardian who turns into the zodiac they represent with the skills to match.

Legend of the Dragon from The Game Factory will feature 18 playable characters (each transforming into a temple guardian), three wireless multiplayer modes, four single player modes (quest being one), 18 battle arenas (completely destructible) and a responsive weather dynamic environment system. Also unique to this fighting game is a unique special moves system. Unlockable content includes a complete episode from the TV series' first season.

There's also the real time spell casting system, transformations, team and tag battles, total of eight game modes, WiFi multiplayer (for the PSP), and motion sensor controls (for the Wii). Ready to thwart the Zodiac Master's evil plans? Legend of the Dragon is set for release around March. While we wait, here's a load of screens.
