Wu-Tang Taste the Pain is a four-player, 3D fighting game for the PlayStation. The basis for the games story and setting is the real-life rap group the Wu-Tang Clan, featuring characters based on their stage personas and the martial arts themes of their music. Some members of the group also provided voiceover work for the game and made vocal and production contributions to the games music.

Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style uses the same engine created by its developer, Paradox Development, for their unreleased PlayStation title Thrill Kill. That game was noteworthy for allowing up to four players to fight simultaneously, a feature heavily utilized in Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style.

Battle an evil warlord named Mong Zhu as members of the rap group Wu-Tang Clan in this 3D fighting game featuring nine playable characters. Master the martial arts as RZA, Method Man, Raekwon, GZA, Ol Dirty Bastard, Masta Killa, U-God, Inspectah Deck and Ghostface Killa. The Story Mode starts you off in a courtyard area called the Hub, which resembles a city intersection with four separate alleys. Each alley leads to a fight against specific enemies from the Mong Zhu clan.

Overcome challenges by successfully demonstrating Shaolin skills, and learn different fighting styles in your quest to become a Wu-Tang master. Completing each task will earn you one of 36 possible chambers, which will gradually unlock secrets. Reveal 50 fatality sequences, hidden characters, new arenas, concept art, and other special features. In addition to the Story Mode, the game includes a Versus Mode supporting up to four human- or computer-controlled characters at the same time.
