Have you ever wanted to high-kick Kayne, bitch-slap Paris, or karate-chop the Governator? Well, now you can fight your favorite celebrity Avatars in Avatar Karate. You’ll unlock new opponents and locations as you work your way through each stage. There are 20 celebrity opponents in all; some appear as characters they’ve played and others appear as themselves. While the developer never outright names each celebrity by name, they’re fairly easy to identify by the lines they quote or through other pop-culture references.
The moves are simple: a variety of kicks, punches, jumps, and blocks. While the opponents get more difficult in single player mode, your Avatar doesn’t seem to level up or acquire any additional skills making the last few fights challenging. There 4 locations in the game, but all are fairly limiting and you are only allowed to fight in a portion of the screen.
If you’re not interested in kicking the crap out of some famous people, try some moves on your friends. The game has a local and live multiplayer mode for up to 4 players. The multiplayer mode also offers powers-up like health and speed, which you won’t find in the single player mode.
Avatar Karate is a good game if you’re looking for something to play with friends and don’t have a ton of time to play. While it’s fun for a few minutes, the thrill doesn’t last, so try the demo first. You may get everything you need from that without blowing your dollar.

Avatar Karate was provided for review by the developer. It is available for 80 MS points ($1).
