• Illustration — An in-game screenshot of the game Kung Fu Rider is a platformer akin to Sonic Unleashed where players have to utilize the Move controller to navigate through the crowded streets of Hong Kong on a sliding office chair. Players can move the controller up and down to increase speed while tilting it left and right would turn the chair while tapping the Move button would cause the character to spin and kick items out of the way. Players can cruise through the streets hopping over cars, juke left, right and pick up money along the way which act as points in the game and sliding through onscreen ticket outlines which will boost the game's meter which can trigger a burst of speed by jabbing at the PlayStation Eye. Despite its title, kung fu is not utilized in any way in the game. The game features realistic physics similar to the PlayStation Network game, Pain, where the player character will be sent off the chair in slow motion upon crashing or being hit by an enemy. As players proceed deeper into the game, Triad enemies begin appearing on the way and attempt to attack the player using Bō staffs.
