Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: 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

Having completed story mode with 4 out of the 9 characters, and come very close with the rest, I can honestly say that this game is difficult. It does require you to be extra quick, and mentally very agile.
The skin on my thumbs wore away after playing this game so much, but given that I am such a hardcore Wu-Tang fan, I'm probably the exception to the rule. the soundtrack is awesome, better than pretty much any other beat em up - ever.
Graphics - good, not the best, but the novelty of fighting as one of the Wu-Tang Clan more than makes up for that. The multiplayer is excellent, up to 4 players can whoop each other asses all day long on that thing, as well as team modes, as far as I can remember, the first game that ... Read More:

This game is very good at the gentle start, and is the only game I have seen with a clever system for different fighting 'scenarios'.
The only thing that I don't like is that most of the moves are based upon complicated sequences of buttons rather than simultaneous groupings (such as in WWF smackdown). If you have difficulty in the timing of down,right,down,cross,triangle,triangle I would shy away from this game.
For some the difficulty curve may be rather strange, I found everything rather easy until I met the third area 'boss', who kicked my ass so badly I immediately turned off the machine.
Atmospherically and graphically very nice though.

Prepare yourself for the best four-player beat 'em up on the PS.A wicked rap soundtrack, hundreds of combos and outrageously brutal fatalities.This game also involves collecting special characters, game modes and arenas which you'll want for a multiplayer battle.It is worth buying a multitap and two more controllers just for this and believe me, you will NOT regret it!This is not as good as the mighty Tekken 3 and you soon get board on story mode, but it is still a satisfying game which is worth the asking price.
