How Long Is Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn?
Not the worst way to kill a few hours
This is a fairly short brawler that has checkpoints and has a sense of humor. It starts to lose steam by the end but it's highlights include pretty entertaining anime style still shot video cutscenes between stages and a lot of humor. As a brawler it's fairly simple but works.
The DLC for this game, however is close-to-awesome as you are Barack Obama and go against Kanye West who has lost his mind. It's not exactly politically correct. The best bit is the voice overs for these two are actually believable, particularly kanye.. This second episode is very short with essentially two long stages.
Game is hilarious and has a good visual style but that's about all it has going for it. Kung Pow Enter the Fist style humor but with more celebrities jokes. Plays like a 2D brawler but with well detailed 3D graphics.
Combat is shallow, button mashing with little finesse or technicality even compared to the earliest beat me ups. Requiring almost no positioning or crowd control. It also lacks a large variety of moves to move up for the shallowness (there isn't even so much as a throw or an aerial move which isn't worthless).
Difficulty ranges from sleep-inducing (normal+easy) to kind of annoying but you have checkpoints every second screen (hard mode).
