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

It all happens as soon as you read the title, the acid in your stomache just churns up.

Shaq Fu was one of those gaming horrors of the 90's that should have never been, just like his awful, awful movie career.

I feel like my intelligence decreased after playing it, but back then I was but a mere child and I loved fighting games (as well as RPG's). As such I was easily sucked into playing any fighter that rolled out of a factory, thank god I had only rented this mediocre title.

The graphics were pretty good I'll admit, but then there was Shaq to remind me that I was playing an absolute piece of crap. The characters clobber each other with puns before a battle ensues, oh dear god!! After your brain is crushed from the weight of sheer bad humor the fight starts. At this point you take a deep breath and think "Well at least that's over...". That is if you haven't gotten to the point where your thinking "!$@@&%*@!!^$$#...." and believe me I'll understand if you have.

If you've lasted this long then....I PITY YOUR SOUL!! Anyways, the fight starts and it's incredibly easy...to the point that enjoyment is null and the fact that your playing Shaq Fu doesn't help cure that sudden acid reflux problem either. I beat it in about 20 minutes *yawn* (or was it *urk* I forgot...).

I beg of anyone that's even considering buying this or god forbid, even playing this PLEASE!!! Your not missing a thing, in fact you'll thank me and anyone else that has a similar opinion on the matter. Playing a great 2-D fighter like Samurai Showdown or Street Fighter II is far better than having prematurely gray hair and vomit all over your favorite shirt (and being mentally scarred).

If you own this game, there's an easy cure. Either melt it in a fire or throw it in the sea or anything that makes it dissapear from existance, please don't sell this game to anyone. It's an insult that this game was even made.

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

In "Shaq Fu", Shaq gets sucked into a portal and he ends up in another world where he must battle bizzare characters in order to make it back to his home world. This is one of the worst plots for a video game I've ever heard. The graphics are terrible. The play control is so bad that Shaq and the other characters can hardly jump! The other characters in the game are so stupid looking. Shaq is better off being a basketball player than a fighter. Save your money and yourself and don't buy this game.

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

He's a basketball player, yet Shaquille O'Neal made it so big with his basketball career that he thought that he could expose his name in the mid 90's. Shaq Diesel anyone? That was hilarious. Now look what Shaq came up with: a fighting game. Just by having the biggest name on the front of the cover tells enough what the quality of this game really comes out to.

The video game consists of bad punchline dialog before the fights, a plot that's just predictable and stupid, lame graphics, and controls that are so agonizing to handle that it's just completely pointless.

This game was voted one of the worst fighting games for a reason. No need to waste your time on this when there are far superior games released on the SNES with much better plots and controls.
