Overview:

Our titular hero is going through downtown Tokyo on his day off from an all star charity game when he stumbles upon an old man in a store telling him he has to rescue some boy! Shaq agrees and is whisked away to the 2nd world where he fights an assortment of baddies to try to rescue the boy!

Visuals:

Shaq Fu is a beautiful game. The sprites, backgrounds, and animations are gorgeous with the latter being super fluid. The overworld is also very nicely done too with a little Shaq running from level to level. It’s quite adorable.

Audio:

The music in this game is so bland and the sound effects are equally forgettable. It’s kind of lame how boring it is compared to what you’re seeing.

Completion:

Now I can say, “FUCK THIS GAME!” because this game is fucking trash. While everything about it looks fantastic, the animation is what kills it. Every fucking move take so many fucking frames you have to plan your moves seconds in advance. You’re just constantly fighting with the controls while the whole time you’re getting reamed by the opponent. This game is fucking horrible. Shaq, you should be ashamed of yourself. I kept losing to the cat lady over, and over, and over, and over again because of these fucking animations. Fuck you game.
