Gameplay moves smooth and Shaq makes you laugh throughout the game with his humorous comments. It’s an amazing game. If you want to have fun and not always play serious boring game after game you will enjoy this one. If you play it on hard the bosses can be quite difficult but it’s all about strategy. Once you figure out what works it becomes easier.

The story of a orphaned boy left to float in a river,washing ashore to a Chinese community and his birthmark is a mystery to all.He's bulliedThe story of a orphaned boy left to float in a river,washing ashore to a Chinese community and his birthmark is a mystery to all.He's bullied by the other children but a man named Ye-Ye gives him the option to start training for Shaq Fu.The tranquility is soon broken when Shaq's village is attacked and he must stand up to fight the invasion.We are dropped quickly into the game and it looks fine with a fun look that mimics the way the game takes itself(fun and ridiculous)Shaq finds out that celebrities are to blame for the attack and he must take these people out.We get dropped into the combat of Shaq Fu and we start to work on the beat 'em up.The game's combat is fun while getting repetitive after about the halfway point of the game.You are limited to just one normal attack with 2 special abilities based around Shaq's shoe and the other being a smash the ground attack that will take out enemies around you.You can also,in select sections,get the ability to attack enemies with a pole that is sitting on the side of the play area that you can use to take out multiple enemies.Their are other sections that give you the option to play as Shaq Diesel (a character based on his nickname0where you are a mech that can take out multiple enemies at once.You also get another upgrade based on his other nickname Shaqtus where you are literally a cactus that throws needles at people. While they do change the way the enemy looks,which does freshen it up,the way you battle the enemies stays the same.Which doesn't bode well,when the game is only 3 hours at most.Luckily,the story here is a fun pop culture filled romp that kept me going to see what the next weird/out there concept would come next.With bosses based off of Kim Kardashian's butt and Paris Hilton,the boss fights have some nice variety to them.Their are also quite a few inside jokes about Shaq himself,with jokes about him being the face of Icy Hot and near the end making light of the way the game keeps sending infinite enemies your way.In the end if you are a fan of Shaq the humor he has or beat em ups this is a good,while repetitively short game that the story carries.

It presents challenge here and there, and is just plain fun to lay a beat down through hordes of enemies. There are lots of enemy types and level design with ways to take the enemy down using the environment. The art work is pretty damn good... top notch graphic novel type art. Considering I got the game for $10 on Amazon, it's a great value. Considering the retro-type game play (double dragon type scrolling beat em up), it's probably a $20-$30 game. I would say the game is repetitive, but overcomes that with varied and creative enemies and and level design/locations.I'm having a blast. The game's strongest point is its humor. They spent some time on the dialog and jokes, and you get to kick annoying celebrity ass, which is always satisfying. I gauge games on if I'm having fun, and this is definitely a fun game. The art and humor are nice bonuses.

I honestly don’t know why someone thought Shaq Fu needs to be reborn and how the word “legend” fits the picture.

Shaq Fu is a classic beat'em up game, that offers good variety of movements and action, counting with Shaquille as main character. Despite this, the gameplay is quite simple and the action turns in pushing buttons with no sense. It displays a good design, cartoon style with 3D graphics, but maybe it become a bad decision for the action that the game must give. After that, the performance or the constant crashes could be frustrating for a game that can't give the experience that the user deserves.
