While the idea of a fighting game based on the martial arts styling of the Wu-Tang Clan might have sounded strange to much of the gaming community, the game itself is incredible. An original soundtrack from the Clan and some silly late night kung fu movie sound effects make this easily the winner for best audio in a fighting game, as the pulse pounding music strikes a perfect contrast to the mellow, ancient Chinese themes and backdrops. In fact, it is this cultural mix in the story mode that creates some of the most intriguing aspects of Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style. Chinese legend and urban rap culture are seamlessly blended, and the Clan present themselves as humble students and heroes. It becomes a wonderful contrast to most rap culture today and makes the heroes that much more compelling. The story mode also features some excellent voice acting and surprisingly well-done cut scenes. Each of the 20 plus characters has a deep and unique move set that more closely resembles a fighting game's complexity. Rounding out the package are buckets of blood, beautiful, creative fatalities, and 4 exclusive new Wu-Tang tracks - the best soundtrack ever to grace a brawler. Tons of fun!
