Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn - Nintendo Switch

Remember how awful Shaq-Fu was? Remember playing it, despite it being awful, because you rented it and had it for 2 more days? Well, this version isn't going to win any awards and is intentionally kitschy, but that's why it ALMOST works. At the end of the day, 3 stars might be a bit much. 2 to 2 1/2 is more accurate, yet I gave it 3 stars. Why? Because I actually DID have fun playing this game. Have a friend over and play through this game. You'll laugh, talk about the old game, and have fun with this clunky mess. What it lacks in gameplay and genuine fun it makes up for in nostalgia. If you go into this with an open mind and want to have fun, you'll get your money out of it.

Now it's about how you pay for this game, I don't this is a typical higher price game quality. But for a lower price , this is an excellent game, treat as an Indie Game. It is hilarious and full of humor , adn the included DLC of Barrack Fu is funny I don't care what side of the Political Isle or Feelings toward Former President Obama is... the fact the story takes place in France and He is nickname the Dron Ranger and you can call in drone strikes during the beat'em up is just too funny.

This is my favorite game! Shaq has a combo you can do to have a big foot, shoe beat your opponent. The game has bosses and is very comical too. There’s a story and the gameplay is unmatched. The game play flows and when you do the shaq fu attack with the shoe you just get a rush. It’s just a great game to play. You pick up icy hots that restore your energy and it’s just a really cool game to have on the go.

I still have the original. This update/sequel I found to be very enjoyable. The Shaq references to his commercials and past movies are well timed and funny. Icy-Hot giving you health is just funny. The only negative I have found are the controls. They are a little clunky on the Switch version, but still worth a play through, even for a good laugh.

I was really excited to try this game, but it just ended up being a total disappointment. It’s not fun. It’s not funny. I was hoping for a resurgence of the beat’em up style games, but this just ain’t it. I’d recommend buying the Capcom Beat’em up bundle or even the Sega Classica that each have some of the best games in that genre.

This is actually a fun beat ‘em up game. The game play is smooth with good control response. The sense of humor had me cracking up. I enjoyed the boss fights. The different combos in the game are great. It has some great combo attack similarities of “Turtles in Time”. If you like beat ‘em up style games, you will definitely like this game.

I wouldn't say shaq fu redeemed itself, but it is definitely better than the original. I don't like the cursing as I feel it was unnecessary for this game especially when some kids will be playing this game. Over all for myself as a adult and child of the original shaq fu I would say it is a good fun game.

I got this game for myself and another for my friend. We both get a kick out of the nostalgia. Shaq Fu was ridiculous in the nineties and this is no different. It's sad there is no co-op, but for the price this game is some good old fashioned side-scrolling beat 'em up action!
