      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Game Of Death, sadly, was Lee

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD picture exhibits mediocre image quality. Colors are poorly saturated, images are fairly soft overall, and edge halos and dirt are apparent. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    With its heavy dose of .1 LFE channel, the Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround encoded soundtrack features much better low end definition than any of the other titles in this collection. Effects sound completely unrealistic, which is generally the norm for Bruce Lee movies, and the mixing of effects in the surround channels make this slightly more enveloping than the original stereo DVD release (although they are used at very low levels relative to the front channels). Dialogue is hazy and blanketed, although presented with slightly more definition than in the other DVDs. The DTS track seems to add slightly better articulation throughout the frequency range, which is welcome. In the end, this is a good release, but not overly exciting. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #74 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I'm a fairly avid home theatre enthusiast and like to keep up on all of the most recent development and progress relating to A/V equipment and digital media. Of all of the publications related to this topic, WSR is the most complete, most thorough, and has become the champion of enthusiasts, such as myself, in fighting for the best possible presentation of audio and video in consumer electronics and broadcast media. In addition to the very informative columns, I am very appreciative of WSR's equipment reviews and its commitment to providing a relatively honest opinion of each product. It's refreshing to see a review that does not conclude with: If you like red LED displays, don't mind just slightly bright and forward sounding gear, and absolutely have to have to have your equipment in a gold-tone color, you should go to your nearest XYZ dealer and give an audition. It’s reviews like this that leave me mystified as to why people even bother reading these other publications. I hope that WSR continues its excellent work.
