Imperials can be black, too. Also, there are mods to fix that. |

Have any of you guys actually played Shaq Fu? I have. I've also heard the album. Well, some of it anyway. Biological didn't bother! All I had to hear was the words, "took me from a boy to a man," in order to hate that damn..... thing! At first I didn't want to make fun of it because it's a legitimate gesture of respect to his stepfather for raising him when his biological father wasn't there to do the same. But then I remembered that it's Shaq, rapping, using metaphors like "a hot dog without a bun". |

To be fair, I've played a few worse fighting games (there was some robot fighting game on the PS1 that was terrible) but yeah, it was pretty bad.
It was also irritating for the simple fact that it, like Michael Jordan's action-platformer "Chaos in the Windy City", was a vanity project that the star elected to work on rather than the altogether fantastic NBA Jam, which had an otherwise perfect roster.

Anyone who has played the Celebrity Deathmatch fighting game on PS1 can add at least one game to the "Shitty fighting game" list. I was so disappointed. *Honk* |

Shaq was my favorite player during the late 90's into the early 2000's. That being said, I've played the game before and though it is far from a good game it isn't as bad as some make it out to be. Regardless, I don't see myself buying a sequel

Oh my gosh. I just realized that every single one of you guys is a huge $#@!ing loser. NBA Jams? Shaq Fu? No $#@!ing wonder you guys all needed new shorts after the announcement of the re-release of Killer $#@!ing Instinct. You're obsessed with terrible $#@!ing games that never should have been made in the first place, much less remade.
I'm a pretty big fanboy, but you guys... wow.
*shakes head, walks away*

NBA Jam was an insanely addicting game beloved by pretty much everyone who played it, cementing its status as one of the most popular and financially successful video games of the 1990s. I expected you to find a problem with it.

I expected you to find a problem with it. Again, it's always amusing to me when you use the argument that "everyone else liked it, so it was obviously good" and/or "so you should have liked it too." Coming from you, it's rather precious. Being popular and financially successful doesn't make something good. What was the premise of NBA Jam? "Let's make a game based on a sport, except that it won't play anything like the actual sport, and will feature guys with giant heads jumping 40 feet into the air to slam dunk a basketball that is literally on fire." Based on sheer premise alone, it was an incredibly stupid game. That said, I was mostly just popping off to be funny, not attempting a legitimate commentary on gaming or you guys as gamers. Killer Instinct was $#@! though. I was serious about that (never played Shaq Fu, but nothing with Shaq's name attached has ever not sucked) |

It's equally amusing to me when I type something knowing full well that you'll find a way to bitch about it, and you subsequently do.  What was the premise of NBA Jam? To make a fun, exciting, popular basketball game. I know that you never set foot into an arcade in 1993 but had you done so you might have noticed that they succeeded. I don't know why you're throwing Killer Instinct into this but I agree with you on that one, I wasn't a fan. That game was all about hypoglycemics slapping the buttons like apes and scoring ridiculous 7,542 hit combos. Not my thing. But whatever, it carved itself a niche. Not everyone liked Mortal Kombat as much as I did. |

My standards for games a pretty low. If I had fun playing it then I did. I had a blast with NBA Jam on my Genesis regardless of how stupid it was. I also enjoyed the original Killer Instinct.
Don't get me wrong, I never even owned Shaq Fu outright but I downloaded it once and played it using an emulator just because of how horrible I heard it was and it was terrible but not amongst the worst games I've seen. Though it's close.

I know that you never set foot into an arcade in 1993  I spent so much time in arcades that it's a shock I can still see in normal lighting. Because the re-make of KI on XBone is the first game I noticed this weird trend with... people being just obsessed with bring back garbage from 100 years ago, as if they aren't making new games or anything (and as if you can't simply go back and play the original, if you need your nostalgia drip that badly). I never thought of KI as anything other than one of the legion of bad SF/MK rip-offs (and it seemed like there were dozens), and when they announced it I thought "well, there's something nobody could possibly be excited about..." But lo and behold, people WERE excited. I am perplexed by this still. |

There was a 3DO game called Way of the Warrior that was pretty atrocious.

They should remake that horrible Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde game.
