never has Kung-Fu sounded so good

While the idea of a fighting game based on the martial arts styling of the Wu-Tang Clan might have sounded strange to much of the gaming community, the game itself is incredible. An original soundtrack from the Clan and some silly late night kung fu movie sound effects make this easily the winner for best audio in a fighting game, as the pulse pounding music strikes a perfect contrast to the mellow, ancient Chinese themes and backdrops. In fact, it is this cultural mix in the story mode that creates some of the most intriguing aspects of Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style. Chinese legend and urban rap culture are seamlessly blended, and the Clan present themselves as humble students and heroes. It becomes a wonderful contrast to most rap culture today and makes the heroes that much more compelling. The story mode also features some excellent voice acting and surprisingly well-done cut scenes. Each of the 20 plus characters has a deep and unique move set that more closely resembles a fighting game's complexity. Rounding out the package are buckets of blood, beautiful, creative fatalities, and 4 exclusive new Wu-Tang tracks - the best soundtrack ever to grace a brawler. Tons of fun!

The Best Fighting Game Ever! Wu the best.

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.

Already a classic

This game is rather challenging in fact I have to admit that this is harder than Tekken 3. I got my butt beaten every time so far.

The moves require much skill and coordination because each character requires a different weapon which is rather nice. The variety and use of 9 characters is the most interesting dimension I think :o)

FUN AS HELL!!!

This game is off the hook. I couldn't stop playing for hours on in. Lots of challenges, and the storylines in between are great. The characters to the game are awesome, and off the hook, I couldn't stop playing with Method Man, then there's the Rza, along with Ol'Dirty Bastard aka Ol'Dirty Schultz, I haven't been able to use the other characters yet, but they're just as good. I also like the tracks, although it could've been more, but they were just as good. I'm looking forward to another Wu-adventure in the near future.

Wu Tang Rocks!

This game, quite simply, rocks. If you are looking for another Street Fighter clone, seek elsewhere. This orginal game is packed full of fun. For those who like gore, this game delivers. For those who have weak constitutions or children, the parental lockout is a sweet touch. The only drawback is that the story mode gets a bit monotonous. However, the fun that can be had from a four-player brewhaha of a versus battle more than compensates. I highly recommend this game to fighting game lovers everywhere. Oh, and the soundtrack ain't half bad, either. Wu Tang forever!

Madd Nice
