>>2577759
the game has quite good visuals and animation
but it's gets the rap it does because it was very high-profile (because it was starring motherfucking Shaq) while being a kind of shit game (just like E.T. -- very high profile game that was pretty crap, but far from the worst on the machine).

There's dozens of worse fighters than Shaq Fu, even ignoring 8/16-bit home computer ports.

The most obvious thing that's bad about it is the retarded jump arc and shit attack range, making it pretty damn hard to actually fight.
and then the fighting mechanics themselves are kind of poor, once you're actually in range
