Shaq Fu

Shaq Fu is headed for the Genesis system. There are several modes of play including a cool Story Mode where Shaq has been sucked into another world to find a boy called Nezo. The boy has been captured by Sett, an evil creature if I've ever seen one. Fortunately, Shaq has the fates on his side.

Each fighter has his/her own moves and style. Some use weapons and others (the really nasty ones) use magic. The basic Versus Mode will allow you to take on your friends and pound them to pieces.

If you like fighting games, Shaq Fu is coming!

Back in another time, in another place, dwells the heartless sorcerer Sett Ra. Basically, Sett's wishes are to gain control over the so-called First World, Earth. There's only one person who stands in the way of his plan--the Shaq himself! Yes, Shaq is back for more action than basketball. The only thing Shaq has to do is defeat Sett Ra and rescue Nezu, a child whose veins run pure with royal blood, from Sett's servant, Beast. Sounds easy enough, huh? Well just keep in mind that in order to defeat Sett you have to go through everyone else first! All is ready for the final battle-only the Chosen One can stop Sett Ra now. That is, one who possesses strength, spirituality, courage, agility, intelligence and unsurpassed skill in the martial arts. He may not possess magical powers, but his moves are killer.

You knew he could dunk, pass, and shatter the backboard. And you may have seen him act (or try). But did you know that he also flings Urikin, swings a mean Inferno Kick, and dukes it out with 11 otherworldly sickos one on one? In Shaq-Fu, Electronic Arts' new Fighting game, basketball's big bald guy faces down hellish opponents who are armed with moves as fast and bizarre as anything out there. Try Sett's Mummy Wrap or Mephis's Lightning Jaw, and you'll see what we mean. The graphics are fluid, and the speed, which is adjustable, is top of the line. Hard-core Fighting fans will flip.
