Some time ago Shaq-Fu was voted to be one of the ten worst games of all time in Electronic Gaming Monthly, but, although I find EGM to be a highly accurate and respectable publication, I chose to disagree with them on this issue. In all honesty, I don't see any heinous problems with this game - besides featuring Shaq as a "martial arts superhero" (that would be enough to turn away most of the would-be players). But, surprisingly, the game features a good-sized cast of somewhat original characters ( one being a Freddy Kruger type creature), well-detailed backgrounds, captuvating ( for some) music, and a not-too overbalanced gameplay. However, the game is almost pathetically shallow - there are no combo systems, each character only has a handful of moves, and you can win the game by simply using a jumping high kick the entirety of the time.

This game is the low end of mediocrity that will appeal to collectors rather than players, but it doest have a small fun factor for party-size tournaments.

I personally didn't buy this game for a unique amazing video game experience, i bought it for the comedy value. It's just one of those things that's so bad it's good.

This review is from: Shaq-Fu (Video Game)

There are evil forces in America that will try to sell you anything, and these evil forces understand the public's fascination with sports heroes and celebrities, and so take a sports hero and a video game and shouldn't that be a winning combination? Listen: this game is simply retarded. A basketball player does not a martial artist make. At first glance you might think this game is pretty cool; after all, the graphics are very well done and the animation is very fluid. But when you realize that you have a total of three moves--punch, kick, jump--and that you can defeat any evil kung fu master just by endlessly jump kicking across the screen and bouncing like a pogo stick, you realize this is not going to be a very deep fighting game. But, yeah, the graphics are pretty good so this game doesn't suck as bad as it possibly could. And then you remember that it's about a basketball hero who just happens to be a world-class martial artist, and that that martial artist is none other than Shaquille O'Neil. And you realize that you have too much free time on your hands, and that maybe you're playing this cart because you're really desperate to be entertained, and then you realize you were having more fun with Bimini Run, which you go back to. OK, to be fair, this game isn't nearly as bad as Bimini Run but it's still pretty ridiculous. Recommended only for those who enjoy a nice steaming pile of crap.
