Stringing together flicks on the directional pad with punches and kicks triggers special moves, and if you're close enough to your opponent, grabs. If you manage to stun your opponent, there are also special finishing moves. These are shown using short pre-canned animation sequences so you get the full graphical bang for your efforts.
There are five locations, playable in day and night forms, and as well as the subtle 3D camera panning that happens during each bout. These feature neat environmental effects such as falling leaves, swaying lanterns and birds to give a feeling that you're really there.
The characters are also fairly detailed, with sweaty shader effects and dynamic shadows, although the models themselves are slightly blocky on the big screen. Characters' facial expressions when they win a fight - particularly those of Bruce Lee - are frankly a little scary.
Much more important in terms of playability is the collision detection - there are occasional glitches - and the audio feedback of attacks, measured by the subsequent groans when your hands and feet connect with your opponent. Combined with the fluid character animation - the drunken style of Shen Lo is particularly impressive - and despite being a beat-'em up, Bruce Lee Dragon Warrior is one of the better iPad-only launch games.
Button-bashing will get you through the early levels, and even when you're working your way up through levels 30 and 40 to the ultimate level 50 in Story mode, your opponents are never very aggressive.
The lack of moves - there are only four special moves, two grabs and one finish per character - is limiting the further you get into the Story mode.
Replay value is provided by additional modes. In these - Arcade, Time Attack, Versus and Survival - you gain the rewards you've unlocked in the story as you can select which unlocked fighters and locations you want to play.
There's also a training option where you can practise as well as customise the moves that your default Bruce Lee character uses by swapping in moves you've unlocked from the other characters.
