10 Celebrity Endorsed Video Games That Should Offend You
3. Shaq Fu
Bet you thought this was going to be at the top of the list. After all, the internet community has unequivocally named this to be one of the worst games ever made. Honestly, Shaq Fu might not deserve that title. It is quite bad in every single aspect, but it is not the worst in any particular way. And it is a fitting addition to Shaquille O'Neals ever expanding portfolio of horrible things that have nothing to do with basketball. In this case, we are talking about a 2D fighting game where Shaq himself takes on a gallery of baddies in order to defeat an evil mummy and save some kid. Simply looking at gameplay footage might suggest that this is an OK fighter. However, it needs to be played in order to be truly experienced. Every single hit is based on luck-of-the-draw. You press the button and the game might decide to register it if it feels like it. This will make your character throw a punch or a kick but you still need to be lucky in order for it to actually register due to awkward hit detection. Unlike most other games on this list, Shaq Fu at least got to be appreciated for its awfulness. On the one hand, a campaign and a website were created in order to find and destroy all copies of the game (were not kidding). On the other hand, a crowdfunding campaign for a sequel managed to exceed its goal of $450,000. So this might not be the last time Shaq shows off his fighting skills. And its not like its the worst thing hes ever done (looking at you, Kazaam).
