Shaq Fu for SNES
Review #488
Shaq Fu
Shaq Poo
Gameplay
Controls are very floaty and imprecise
Jumping sends you the entire length of the screen and you can't effectively attack while flying so it leaves you vulnerable. As a result the fighting is mostly grounded.
Shaq is incredibly slow compared to most other fighters. Makes the game impossibly difficult
Weird control layout where L seems useless and R is a dedicated taunt button. For some reason. The other buttons are kick and punch.
Can't figure out any special moves.
Animations are so long that you're open for attack constantly.
Zero fun
Level Design
Boring arenas. Some have foreground scrolling but they're otherwise uninteresting
Normal versus, story, and tournament modes. Story can only be played as Shaq
Theme
Embarrassingly stupid concept. Might be even worse than the Michael Jordan title.
Art Style
Tiny sprites but excellent animations
Character models aren't particularly interesting other than the two bosses, Sett and Beast
Audio
Music is your standard bouncy video game stuff. Very 90s with eclectic sounds like a DJ's disc scratch, percussion, and digital keyboard sounds. Ugly stuff
Sounds are comical, especially Shaq's grunts and yips. He does his best Bruce Lee impression and it's hilarious to hear
