According to Gameloft, the game has Norris taking on a rogue Soviet army in an attempt to save POWs from Cambodia. Next he has to save America from invasion. That's right, it makes no sense, but that's how Norris rolls. Gameloft calls the game a "hilarious dive into the life of the legend - martial arts action, denimclad justice, and going commando!" And by hilarious I'm sure Gameloft means kick-ass... unless they want Norris to snap their company over his knee.

Bring on the Pain is said to play like an old-school beat-em-up and allows you to use traditional weapons or Norris' flesh-coated weapons. You can also take pics of your friends and turn them into enemies in the games.
Best game ever.

    Vin Diesel made for a better fad, anyways.

    I really wonder if this Chuck Norris thing is ever going to end. It all got started because of that Walker Texas Ranger lever on Conan didn't it? He hasn't used that thing in like 2 years. People need to learn to give this thing a rest already.

    That aside, it does look kind of okay for a cell phone game. I've never really played any though.

    you know it's actually not bad for a cheesy beat-em-up game. I think if they do a some more work on it could be fairly good as an x-box arcade game.

    Dude this looks totally awesome!

    Double Dragon + Metal Slug = Awesome


    I think people are looking into the Chuck Norris aspect of this too much. If this was just called EXPLOSION FIST starring John Everyman on the DS everyone would be going nuts about this.

    If by "going nuts" you mean "not noticing or caring," then you are correct.

    The game fails because he has a health bar. He's Chuck Norris for God's Sake! :P
    That putting your friend's faces on the enemies features sounds like a hilarious addition.

    Chuck Norris (or a lookalike with similar jokes) is also a boss of Zendoku for the DS - he's actually pretty tough to beat.

    it's not his health bar, it's the planet's health bar. When it runs out Chuck Norris destroys the earth and everything on it. The lives are the total number of parallel dimension earths that Chuck Norris goes to and destroys. The goal of the game is to keep Chuck Norris entertained so that he does not get bored and destroy all the earths in the multiverse.

    The fad started as a VIn Diesel movement. Something Awful had a thread about "Amazing Vin Diesel facts" and someone hijacked it and made it Chuck Norris. It's a shame.

    I didn't hear anything about Chuck Norris until the Walker Texas Ranger lever. I would've thought that that would've been the main culprit, not a website that half the country doesn't even know exists.

    This actually does look pretty cool, and as long as it's got a few solid hours of gameplay, I'd pay $15-$20 for a DS port with extra content and some type of multi-player.

    Maybe P2 could be Mr. T or something.

    Edit: Even though T would never let himself be used as second banana.

    There would be no P2 it would be P1 and P1 just with different colors.

    Vin Diesel will never get a cell phone game like this to me. Especially after my first movie of his I've seen is The Pacifier.

    It's first impressions, you know, like seeing Jason Bateman in every movie that gets released now and saying, Michael Bluth!
    Now Chuck Norris, my Boss watches him every morning on Texas Ranger, and that's my first real time watching him in action. IMO He was looong overdue for a game. Especially after seeing the one my boss watched a few weeks ago where
    Walker(Norris) takes a bullet in the chest by a corrupt police cheif in a cemetery shoot out who escapes back to his precinct. Walker, not even fazed by the metal in his flesh, gets in his pickup and rolls down to the precinct. The chief, knowing that Walker is coming for justice, kills himself, probably because he would rather have a bullet in his head than Walker's boot imprint sending him to hell.

    Long before that, there was a Saturday Night Live skit with a similar premise of amazing facts about someone named "Bill Brasky." No doubt it's roots lie even further back in pop culture.

    I'm pretty sure there has always been a man like Chuck Norris through out history. Some legendary man of legend with no equal.

    You know why this game isn't on a console? Because Chuck Norris refuses to be displayed in less that 1081p.

    Setting aside how old those jokes are, the game itself actually looks pretty fun. Pretty much a beat-em-up/shoot-em-up action game that just happens to place Norris in the role. Though I have to wonder: why cell-phones?
