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.

I agree

Shaq Fu was voted one of the top 5 worst SNES games two video game magazines beaten only by a barbie game. I played this game for a while and it is the worst! The play control is horrible, the characters are stupid, and the graphics are grainy. And the corny part is the story! I was laughing so hard when we heard the story: Shaq finds a Chinese antique shop and goes to another dimension to save a little boy, beats the crud out of a voodoo lady, a catwoman, and a living mummy and makes it back in time for the basketball game! How cheesy can you get! Buy it for laughs only!

worst SNES fighting game ever made

This game is so cheesy it should've been put on the Atari 7800 (would've fit in perfectly because of the Tramiels) instead of the SNES. A total waste of silicon chips and a total waste of time...i'd rather play virtual rock scissors paper than this pile of manure.

ShaqFu!

ShaqFu is cool! Play as Shaq ,Sett,beast,VooDoo,Saiori,a green guy and other cool characters. With good graphics, cool combos such as energy disks,Teleport and firepunches and kicks and It's very hard. I saw a review in a magazine recently, about ShaqFu being better than Final Fantasy 9! It's true! This game rocks!!!

This was the worst fighting game on the SNES system. Even worse than the home version of SNK's ART OF FIGHTING and FIGHTER'S HISTORY. The game is not only stupid, it's easy and the characters are really lame.

Granted yes, this game was released when Shaquille was really, really big in the mainstream, but after this game, notice how things started to go bad for him. After all, he did KA-ZAAM. But anyway, the controls are bad, the graphics are bad, fights are really predictable (ex: you know what the computer is going to do) and all in all not a fun game.

Seriously, SNES had all of the better fighting games so I'm sure you could find one that you like because there are several to choose from. For instance, STREET FIGHTER II series (New Challengers, Hyper, etc), MORTAL KOMBAT II and ULTIMATE MORTAL KOMBAT, FATAL FURY 2 SPECIAL and even BALLZ. Skip SHAQ FU, it's a waste of your time.

it isn't bad

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.
