- It’s Mortal Gear Solid! Less lame stealth, more punching construction workers with Jax’s big metal arms! Great in theory, but in practice, playing this feels like one prolonged fatality.

Wait, if this is the first game chronologically, why the heck does Jax already have metal arms? Actually, I'm sure there's a very convoluted and dumb explanation for it, that's just the way of MK lore.
When he debuted in MK2 his arms were in the shop and he had rental arms???
It's actually just body paint, he was going to dress up as the silver surfer for Halloween but he got interrupted after doing his arms
@@Toaster278Oh ok. I thought Jax went through some sort of accident and lost his actual arms; and had to undergo some kind of confusing surgery to replace his arms with metal ones whilst hunting down a criminal named Kano or something? And no; the first chronological MK game was MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero. This game: Special Forces; is considered a chronological spinoff. Either way: both Mythologies and Special Forces suck. Also: the only trilogy of chronological MK games that didn't suck was MK Shaolin Monks; with Kung Lao and Liu Kang. And also Scorpion; Sub-Zero; and even Johnny Cage. But special forces is bad and should feel bad for NOT giving us a convoluted explanation as to WHY Jax already has metallic arms; during this crap game; and not during MK 2; instead.
@@chromacrystals No; was it you? Because I've never read anything on Wikipedia before.
@@shawnfields2369Sub Zero was first even though this takes place like, a month before it?
I've got the feeling that the expectations for this game are Sub Zero.
You’ll be seeing yourself out, yeah?!
Get over here, and then out the door, begone I say!
I Kano believe you said that
Son-ya later, ok maybe too far 😂
“I’ll get me coat.”
This game had potential until they rushed it, John Tobias abandoned the team, and they cut Sonya Blade out of it.
Mortal Kombat is an excellent series with a few less than great games. This is one of them.
The game intro reminds me of The Venture Bros.
Like some other dude already mentioned here: Why the hell does Jax have his metal arms here? 🙈🤣
The game might be trash but that song is a jam.
"Large Box" in the voice of Brian Butterfield. Excellent.
You know, when my friend and I went to see the Brian Butterfield live show last year, we predicted that the audience would be a lot like us - tragic dudes in their 30s. We were, of course, right.
I played this game as a baby. It was the best game, because it introduced baby me to Mortal Kombat without exposing my virgin eyes to gore, finishers, good gameplay, fun, or excitement.
Thanks dad
your dad sounds great, not exposing their baby to gore or finishers
from what i gather its more playable than the subzero game they did
There actually is a game that functions but deserves a 0 by not really being a game at all. Like, it's not even a case where the game would run but then was literally unplayable. The game worked entirely as intended, it just literally was not really a game. That game being Hareraiser, for various 80s computers. IT's a long and weird story and mostly a scam, and Stuart Ashen did a very interesting presentation on it at the Norwich Games Festival some years back, which you can view here on CZcams.
The "it's gonna be a few weeks on parts" joke went hard AF, boys. Love this series and I love you both very much and I'm very proud of you. Toodles
Thanks, Dad
IMO 0 scores should be reserved for games with so many technical issues they make day one Bethesda console releases look good. The kind of thing where you consider it a miracle to make it a few minutes without having to reset the game, reload a save, or having your console crash.
This was as bad mate
@@bzilla1090 Not really IMO. Bad sure, worst Mortal Kombat game I've played but I've played far worse then this even if you discount the stuff older then I am (Video game crash and earlier essentially).
26:11 Someone actually put Baraka on a Baracca with Maracas and think we wouldn't give thanks We see you King
this is the most Non-MK looking MK game ever
Even more than MK Mythologies Sub-Zero?
Really embarrassing that the ORIGINAL Mortal Kombat graphics were a million times better than this hot garbage! 😬
PS1 always looks this bad, but nostalgia blinds everyone to the jittery texture warping, low poly models that look like every character is having a seizure.
that sounds like a plus to special forces for me
You know, having heard about this game, I was expecting it to be just completely awful, but I agree with what Peter said. It's definitely not great, or good, but it's not wholly unplayable. There's so much worse than this. I guessed the review scores would be more around the 40 or 50% range...but 28%? The reviews legit seem more harsh than is actually necessary. :/
I think some of the bad reviews are due to the high expectations of the MK brand
Well I mean...yeah, of course. That's what I'm getting at. People are letting their perceptions become warped instead of objectively observing what's in front of them.
I've seen this a bunch of times with games that are rated worse than they actually are. I also keep seeing games rated better than they are (as subjective as much of this is).
If you scroll to the middle of the video without spund theres NO WAY you could pinpoint this as a MK game
Thank you for being a fun youtube channel that provides genuine laughs, without getting involved in CZcams drama for content, and no "I'm going through some stuff"
you guys are always a blast. Keep doing what you do 😂
I was about 15 when this game came out aka one of the main target groups that midway was advertising too. I had loved mortal kombat the og games but when I saw this one I just knew it was gonna suck
Mortal Kombat has a lot of potential for spinoffs
This game reminds me of Fallout Brotherhood of Steel
This Game wasplanned to Play with Jax AND Sonja. Cause there Partner and stuff in MK lore. But later on they Removed Sonja again. Fans was very angry, cause they allready shown Gameplay with Sony and Jax and done Commercial with bouth of them.
The game looks fine, runs fine, and isn’t that terrible. It may not be great, but certainly not on a worst list.
"The hulked Hogan" 😆
Fatality
I loved this game as a kid
Mortal Kombat Special forces, more Like..
Mortal Kombat, Special Horses!
Gotcha! 😅
6:04 No Face? You mean that ghost guy in Spirited Away that can eat a bunch of things and get really fat?
The audio from the game sounds like it was compressed from a GBA soundboard
Different game different time
Has anyone sent in the PS2 Frank Herbert’s Dune game? One of the worst I ever played.
Al Gore rhythm
Haven’t been on this channel for @ bit, but I remember them saying they wouldn’t ever gatekeeper content.
It may be too new but play the new Saints Row. I played it free when PlayStation gave it out for monthly game but i could not put more then 2hrs on it, it was soo boring, graphics are bad and felt sluggish with bad conteols. I am going to give it another try since i played the old games but man it was such a bad first impression thst i had to uninstall that same day
But that intro.
Mortal Gear Solid
Oooo yay mortal Kombat 😈
Technically; it's more of a spinoff. It's considered worse than MK Mythologies Sub-Zero. And I played that on the N64. It should also be considered worse than the 2nd MK film; Annihilation; or just as bad as Annihilation. Because Annihilation LITERALLY has Shao Khan kill Johnny Cage in the first 2 minutes of that movie. And they replaced the actor who played Johnny Cage who; for the record; WAS going to sign the contract to come back for the 2nd MK movie; and was set to; until he actually read the contract; and saw that his character died in the movie's opening. They took everything good about the first MK live action movie and took a massive dump on it. Even if you don't like Johnny Cage; killing him off in the opening of a movie is still a bad idea. Even in a series all about brutally ripping your opponent's spine/head; heart out. Still; MK Mythologies is considered the first chronological MK game. Special Forces is closer to being a spinoff. And it was supposed to have Sonya Blade(Jax's partner); but they cut her out of this game. Also; Jax has the metallic arms already; when this game is supposed to be his debut appearance apparently. Geez; the lore of MK is konfusing at times(and yes; that joke's intentional). I intentionally replaced the "C" with a "K"; because it's Mortal Kombat. I did that a lot as a kid; and I still do that as an adult. No shame whatsoever. I just like MK.
Urm I think you’ll find that that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion that’s not scorpion

Looks like they took the same crappy 3D models from mk4 and farmed it out to some shady 3rd party

This is the Worst Game, And it's worst than most
Wow, I have to say; for one of the legendary actual 'worst game ever' contenders; this is actually not really that bad... Generic, dull and boring perhaps, but far from the worst game ever it seems. I wonder, if all the Mortal Kombat branding and characters were swapped out for generic no name whatevers; would this have been better received? Did it get so hated because people expected better from an MK game...?
Looks abit like Ben hasn't slept in a couple of weeks 👀
Also this is just one of those 🤷 games.
It's not bad to where it's comical likes knight rider but just competent and that's it
nah the game's okay
$40 okay? No. No it's not. And midway knew it was bad because they only asked for $40 even though they're greedy, they knew that they had a stinky turd in their toilet.
Now that I think, it might even have cost only $30.
Midway knee what they birthed out of their slime womb.
MGS killer. That's what. And Halo killer and killer 7 killer and kill bill killer and Midway profit margin killer.
@@Boogie_the_cat i wouldnt even get a "good" game for $40
also lol hidden comment
Agreed
@@michaelbeeson612both ps1 mortal kombat spinoffs get too much of a bad rep
Theyre below average titles in a franchise that was taking over the world at the time
