Excuse me, observant and most attractive reader. Would you mind poking that lazy, good-for-nothing friend next to you? Yeah, the one that never bothers to pay attention when we post news just for them. Thanks!...Now that we have your attention, we would like you to know a new bit of DLC for Rag Doll Kung Fu will be available tomorrow, just for lumps on a log like yourself. The EU PlayStation blog brings word of the Timesavers Pack, a bit of DLC that will unlock all of the extra playable characters and outfits (including Sackboy) in the game. It'll set you back a cool £1.19 (€1.99), proving once again that you can tackle all of life's problems with money. Well, except for ravenous badgers. We all know badgers have long forgotten the merits of financial institutions.
Hands-on: Rag Doll Kung-Fu: Fists of Plastic
Click for high-resolution image. When we saw a new Rag Doll Kung-Fu game announced at Sony's E3 keynote, we jumped up a bit in excitement. The original Rag Doll Kung-Fu for PC was an innovative quirky game that helped launched Media Molecule become what it is today. When we first saw Fists of Plastic, we assumed that the LittleBigPlanet devs were going back to Mark's very first independent game. Guess we were wrong.Unfortunately, Fists of Plastic has almost no connection to the original Rag Doll Kung-Fu. It's not being developed by Media Molecule and worst of all, it doesn't really take advantage of rag dolls at all. The original PC game featured an innovative control scheme, which involved dragging different parts of the rag doll around and creating motions with physics to unleash attacks. The core concept of Rag Doll Kung-Fu is absent in this PSN download. Instead of dealing with rag doll physics, players simply control these awarkdly animated dolls with the face buttons. Yes, there's a punch and kick button, making this feel like a poor man's fighting game.%Gallery-27901%
