Rap meets raw combat in Wu-Tang Clan: Shaolin Style, a violent fighting game that plays a lot like a '70s kung-fu flick--with a little Mortal Kombat thrown in. Members of the rap group Wu-Tang Clan are present and ready to mix it up. RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Method Man--they're all here, each with his own special shaolin fighting abilities. The soundtrack, which is sure to score points with fans of the rappers, provides background music for battle arenas set in Staten Island, New York, and ancient China. Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style also features three new exclusive Wu-Tang tracks. The cantankerous Wu-Tang Clan members meld perfectly into the video game world, and each character has some truly flashy moves. GZA wields a microphone on a chain-blade chord. Raekwon's specialty is cooking up opponents in a large boiling vat. Other members use a more traditional approach with swords and acrobatics. Although the game is a little slow and repetitive at times, it's dripping with raw street style and attitude--which should be enough to keep Wu-Tang fans happy while appeasing fighting game fans in general. Up to four players can fight at once. (Parents should note that this is one of the more violent fighting games on the market.) --Bill Hutchens
Pros:
- Wicked combos with devastating effects
- Good mix of pulsating rap rhythms
- Interesting interactive arenas
Cons: - Control is sometimes slow and clunky
- Slightly unbalanced; some characters easily overpower others

Summary: HELL'S YES!!!!!
Comment: This game is beyond fun! The original nine members of the Wu go on a quest to save RZA's mentor from the hands of a demonic nemesis... each member has a difernt style of martial arts madness: ODB is a drunken boxer (what else), GZA has a mic attached to a chain with a blade (his fatalities are great!) Ghostface is a grappler with Iron gloves, Raekwon is a shadowboxer (fast as hell), Deck uses his fingertips to strike pressure points, Masta Killa is a faceless ninja, RZA has massive swords, U-God has some kind of obnoxious Muy-Thai kick boxing style, and Meth has a gargantuan hammer (with teh world's easiest 11-hit combo).
The characters aren't so well rounded out. Some easily overpower others. Meth and RZA can win just about any encounter, even if played by a novice. Deck and Raekwon are more finesse characters. There is a nice practice mode where you can slowly learn the individual attacks and combos of each cahracter- using whomever you choose as your punching bag (usually it's U-God in my home).
The fatalities are great and bloody- when they're not that they're just plain funny (such as when raekwon tosses his defeated foe into a massive green cauldron and pulls from it a bottle of Wu-Brew). Each character has 4 different fatalities.
OK, the story is kinda lame and at times it's almost impossible to win with certain characters. The graphics aren't top-notch, even by the standards of the game's release ('99 I think). And the music/beats get a tad repetitive. So what!?! Just kill the background music in the options and dig out that copy of Liquid Swords, son! You get a bunch of red-blooded guys in the room with chips n drink and this game- hours of fun will ensue. God only knows how much time I wasted in college playing this with my flatmates.
Alll in all, cheap copies of this are out there and if you like bloody games and dig on hip-hop- if you are a fan of any caliber of the Wu- get this!

Summary: When your master is kidnapped by his ultimate rival...
Comment: What are you prepared to do?
Pros:
Very enjoyable game
Pretty good graphics(despite eyes are white)
5 fatalities a pop, more than mortal combat
Very good rap tracks
good voice acting in FMVs
Devistating combos that can dish out mad damage
Rage meter definitly helps
Suprisingly good for a game that didn't get much praise from sites
Cons:
Story mode (especially in China) gets real repetitive
Some fatalities stink(like decks first fatalitiy)
Ghost, and Masta don't support their voicesI never herd of this game, until my brother brought it over, and I was hooked. I got everything for him, and yet he didn't even let me borrow the game(One stingy brother) But I got it not far after, and now I'm still enjoying it from time to time. If you love mortal Combat, or like wu-tang, this is sure not to dissapoint. Final Words:This game is definitly a game that lives up to not only the wu-tang name, but a mortal kombat, with a Tekken style looking game. And that's what also cought my eye as well. Peace
