This game is beyond fun! The original nine members of the Wu go on a quest to save RZA's mentor from the hands of a demonic nemesis... each member has a difernt style of martial arts madness: ODB is a drunken boxer (what else), GZA has a mic attached to a chain with a blade (his fatalities are great!) Ghostface is a grappler with Iron gloves, Raekwon is a shadowboxer (fast as hell), Deck uses his fingertips to strike pressure points, Masta Killa is a faceless ninja, RZA has massive swords, U-God has some kind of obnoxious Muy-Thai kick boxing style, and Meth has a gargantuan hammer (with teh world's easiest 11-hit combo).

The characters aren't so well rounded out. Some easily overpower others. Meth and RZA can win just about any encounter, even if played by a novice. Deck and Raekwon are more finesse characters. There is a nice practice mode where you can slowly learn the individual attacks and combos of each cahracter- using whomever you choose as your punching bag (usually it's U-God in my home).

The fatalities are great and bloody- when they're not that they're just plain funny (such as when raekwon tosses his defeated foe into a massive green cauldron and pulls from it a bottle of Wu-Brew). Each character has 4 different fatalities.

OK, the story is kinda lame and at times it's almost impossible to win with certain characters. The graphics aren't top-notch, even by the standards of the game's release ('99 I think). And the music/beats get a tad repetitive. So what!?! Just kill the background music in the options and dig out that copy of Liquid Swords, son! You get a bunch of red-blooded guys in the room with chips n drink and this game- hours of fun will ensue. God only knows how much time I wasted in college playing this with my flatmates.

Alll in all, cheap copies of this are out there and if you like bloody games and dig on hip-hop- if you are a fan of any caliber of the Wu- get this!

the best game ever

What are you prepared to do?
Pros:
Very enjoyable game
Pretty good graphics(despite eyes are white)
5 fatalities a pop, more than mortal combat
Very good rap tracks
good voice acting in FMVs
Devistating combos that can dish out mad damage
Rage meter definitly helps
Suprisingly good for a game that didn't get much praise from sites
Cons:
Story mode (especially in China) gets real repetitive
Some fatalities stink(like decks first fatalitiy)
Ghost, and Masta don't support their voices

I never herd of this game, until my brother brought it over, and I was hooked. I got everything for him, and yet he didn't even let me borrow the game(One stingy brother) But I got it not far after, and now I'm still enjoying it from time to time. If you love mortal Combat, or like wu-tang, this is sure not to dissapoint.

Final Words:This game is definitly a game that lives up to not only the wu-tang name, but a mortal kombat, with a Tekken style looking game. And that's what also cought my eye as well.

Peace

I want my game I payed for

Shaolin Style is an awesome well put together fighting game. Even if you don't like Wu-Tang music you will like this game, if you don't like games but love Wu-Tangs music it's a great deal for 9 bucks because you can also put the game into your cd player and listen to the music. Everyone should own this game, for it's great music and awesome gameplay........

It seems this game is no longer being published. I had to get mine on auction. Pity. A very solidly implemented game with some very good ideas, making it more fun than the average fighting game.

Although this is basically a kung fu fighting game, it adds enough to make it more interesting than the rest:

1. story mode that has decent lengthed videos that actually tries to tell a coherent story

2. freeze-and-spin-Matrix-effect that occurs just before a fatality is pretty cool.

3. the gathering of 35 chambers is a neat idea and motivates you to actually try out more combos rather than sticking with the ones that get you a safe kill. It's kind of like earning your different colored belts in Karate.

4. teaming up with multiple comrades during some fight sequences is fun.

5. comes with a USEFUL and FUN training mode where it shows you a new move and lets you try the steps until you achieve it. This makes practice mode more engaging.

6. instant action mode lets you just fight ala Mortal Kombat style.

7. good save game feature that lets you save off the game after EACH fight.

8. this could be a pro or con. It has lots of blood, dismemberment, and impalement. Actually it's video game blood so it isn't really grotesque.

9. There is a password you have to enter to enable gore so that kids are protected.

10. good variety of characters fighting with blades, mallets, bare fists etc.

11. good sound track.

Cons:

1. since it is a fighting game, it does get repetitive. But then what fighting game isn't. The story line and having to acquire the chambers interesting.

2. sound sampling on the characters could use some work. They sound a bit truncated.

3. motion capture is not of the quality of Tekken 3.

I have never played anything like it!

I was blown away by how fun and addictive this game was. All nine members of Wu Tang with their own individual style (taken from shaolin martial arts) and own individual moves, makes this game even more appealing. Fight your way through 1 on 1 combat all the way to 1 on 4. The missions you must complete are challenging and fun and you actually have to master each character and his moves in order to complete them. Huge number of unlockable characters, and pictures make the replay value sky rocket. I'm a lifetime fan of old school martial arts films, and this is the only game I've seen or played that brings that feel and attitude. You gotta atleast play it once, and you'll soon be addicted. One game that must have a sequel or a new addition.
