Shaq-Fu on the SNES is one of those "so bad it's almost good" kind of games. It's a brawler starring Shaq, and let's just say the controls are clunky, the story is bonkers, and the difficulty is frustrating. But the absurdity of it all makes it kinda charming...in a weird way. If you have an ironic sense of humor and want a retro challenge with a bizarre twist, it's worth checking out. Otherwise, steer clear.
It feels wrong rating a game higher than I normally would just because the concept is funny. Most of the things people say about it is true, it's unresponsive, pretty sluggish, the controls are complete nonsense (you press back on the d-pad to block), but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a little bit of fun playing it just because of the novelty. Besides, if you just play the story mode like I did, it's pretty easy to just stun-lock the AI by button mashing, and once you get used to the controls, there is a genuine cathartic joy in just high kicking women, children, and the elderly to death.
