Shaq Fu (SNES)
So we decided to shaq it up a bit.
At first "Shaq Fu" wasn't even part of our game plan but after finding a copy for five Euros we figured we'd throw it in the mix, being curious to find out if it really warrants its horrible reputation.
And to our massive surprise....it doesn't! It's by no means a fantastic game but we found it to be really solid. Why is it so notorious? Got to habe something to do with the way the game's PR hyped it up before release, right?
I mean, yeah, the sprites are rather small, but they look nice and detailed and are rather well animated. And the backgrounds are way better than we expected.
Control feels a bit strange, though...maybe a little too floaty?
But as I said, we all thought it's a surprisingly decent fighter! It could never hope to replace the reigning king on SNES, i.e. SF2 in all its variations, but it complements it nicely.
Has anyone ever played both versions of "Shaq Fu"? I hear on Mega Drive it has one more playable character, but visuals are nice on SNES?
