Too bad, I was kinda looking forward to this one.

Really? I thought it'd looked spectacularly average since the second batch of screenshots.Agreed...

. It would be different if you were claiming to portray the actual PERSON, the way, say, Oliver Stone did with Jim Morrison when he made that Doors movieIf the portrayal was accurate, then I see nothing wrong. In this case, it was more about artistic vision than accuracy (VERY much like A Beautiful Mind) and I think that is wrong. Had they made a movie that was pretty much the same thing, only the characters were not the Doors and such, even though you knew they were the inspiration, it wouldn't be the same thing.
Had they just used Bruce's physical likeness instead of his history and image, it would be different.

From what I know of Bruce Lee, he had particular ideas about entertainment and his philosphy. If you were to take his image and just slap it into any old generic beat-em-up video game (like the C-64 game ), he might not have been cool with that because it doesn't bring any of his ideas across to whoever is playing. But if you could make a game that helped introduce people to jeet kune do and Lee's other ideas, he might not have had a problem with that.

If they were to use a character that looked like him but didn't have his name, that would be different. He would be the inspiration, not the actual character.
I'm sure most people can tell the difference between a video-game depiction and the real person ... Dead or aliveThen why are they using his image to promote the game? If he was just a nobody or had never existed, then the game would have nothing going for it. Its the fact that he is a big-name dead celebrity that the game is going to sell at all.
