    As more worthless games come and go, Shaq-Fu is here to stay. 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,    As more worthless games come and go, Shaq-Fu is here to stay. 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

    A creative and funny game. 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 theA creative and funny game.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    Trying to play the nostalgia chord is risky, because it has its own limits. It shows, in Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. Despite its hilarious scenario, the game is repetitive and devoid of any attempt to create something new.

    A great experience for classic 16 bits fighting games fans. Simple but organic, enjoyable and fun. A great option if we like action but also a very simple game with repetitive mechanics.
