Shaq-Fu is possibly the greatest experience created by humans, and for humans. By combining the likes of Gahndi, Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Fred Figglehorn, you are left with Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn.
   
   If you haven't played the most stunning human achievement of all time that is this game, don't read ahead, unless you want to ruin your life by spoiling the most amazingly written, and acted story of all time. Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn follows the story of Shaq Fe-Hung from the Chinese town Hung-Lo. He abandons his mother to fight against the demons that Yen-Lo-Weng has sent to Earth. He trains with his mentor Ye-Ye until he is murdered by the minions of of Yen-Lo-Weng. As Ye-Ye utters his last breath, he tells Shaq that Yen-Lo-Weng has sent demons to Earth disguised as celebrities, and Shaq must kill these celebrities and save humanity. All the characters are so in-depth and brought out to the public. They are so bright with personality, whether it's being caring, or being edgy, or determined enough to save the world, Shaq-Fu has all of it there. Such characters such as Shaq, or Ye-Ye, spoke to me on a personal level, and I cried at multiple times during the extremely crisp 12K resolution, 10,00 fps cut scenes, which really tug at your heart.
   
   Along with the riveting and heart-wrenching story, Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn also excels in the aspect of gameplay. Shaq is an outstanding choice for the protaganist of this game and it shows in his personality, attitude, and his gameplay style. He can use multiple attacks and use a super attack, which may have drawn inspiration from Mega Man, but done much better, as Mega Man pales in comparison to this masterpiece of all media and enterntainment. The games focus, as I mentioned, is on Shaq's multiple superhuman abilities to defeat the evil celebrities. Shaq can kick AND punch, which is absolutely insane for a game of this age. No other games are as packed with amazing content and gameplay mechanics such as this singular game. I was never bored, this game features some of - sorry, THE best the best level design in a game ever, while keeping things fresh with it's ever changing roster of mechanics. (Which are once again, better than Mega Man's.)
   
   Plus the presentation is stunning running at 12K on all platform including the Atari 2600. Whoops! It seems as though I forgot to mention that this game is playable on every single games console in existence, while being able to play the same high in technicality controls, gameplay, along with the high definition graphics. Consoles from the Atari 2600 to the Nintendo Gamecube to the XBOX One, Shaq-Fu runs like a dream on all platforms and plays with the same controls while being locked at 10,000 fps.
   
   Overall Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is definitely the greatest piece of media in the history of all humankind. This game belongs in something of a museum. It possesses all the natural traits of art, while pushing it to its own limit, and making itself better by the second. Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is my favorite thing in this entire universe. And nothing comes close to topping this masterpiece.… Expand

I mean yes the story is roughly 3 or 4 hours and it doesnt have much reply ability after the 2nd or perhaps 3rd time. But for 20$ your getting a game that (for me) didn't bug out, made me laugh countless times, had a pretty decent story and was still difficult at times but still just a blast. I don't know what people expect out of these games but for me at 20$ this is perfect… Expand

It plays as a wonderful Beat-em-up. The controls are fairly decent for the game but the vertical movement is a little fidgety and there aren't any vertical attacks. For $20, is a decent story with fair replay value. The biggest drawback is how there isn't a versus mode like in the original. Once it includes the versus mode, I'll say that it's worth $30(cost of physical). The game has some bugs that need to be fixed but I was able to complete the storyline despite the game freezing a couple times while fighting Diamond.
   
   The trophies are easily achievable with a second playthrough. The commentary is hilarious and the product placement for icy hot is perfect. I do wish that there could be more weapons included, especially in areas where the fights are more difficult.… Expand

   The only positive thing I have to say about this game is that the animated cutscenes, the music, and the humor are well done. The gameplayThe only positive thing I have to say about this game is that the animated cutscenes, the music, and the humor are well done. The gameplay itself is unfun, unsatisfying, boring, repetitive, and frustrating. It's like they analyzed what made classic beat 'em ups fun and made the complete opposite. Also, there is a random bug that freezes everyone in their place and forces you to restart the checkpoint. They released a DLC that can only be bought by people with the physical disc. So, if you bought it digitally like me and you want to give them money in exchange for their DLC, "Tough luck. Buy the physical version or get lost, buddy". No, sorry. Awful job.… Expand
