Mortal Kombat Special Forces......

Because of the new Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks game coming out, I decided to get all my old MK games out to play. Among them was Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and this lil gem. Despite what everyone has had to say about the game, Special Forces isn't that bad a game. I mean, if you're any MK fan at all, you're going to get this one just to keep up with the Mortal Kombat mythos. I especially enjoyed the game because it explained alot of the backstory as to how Jax and Sonya first got into MK. I'll admit, however, why they chose Jax to have a starring role in an MK game of his own is beyond me. Not that Jax is a bad character and fighter in the game, he's one of my favorites. It's just there are other more beloved characters from the universe that they could have used. When you think about it, that could be the reason why people didn't make this a big seller, at the time. At any rate, I loved the game. For the first time, it was a Mortal Kombat game that took place in an actual 3-D environment. Fighting is intense with the basic, special, and combination moves.

The only reason why I gave the game 4 stars was because of certain control issues it had. They really hindered my enjoyment getting into the game at times.

Other than that, Mortal Kombat Special Forces is an awesome game. It's a game any respectable Mortal Kombat fan would and should add to their collection.

Pretty good

The 3d environment is great. It's definately better than MK Mythologies. I like the fact that you can use weapons, too. The only problem is that sometimes the camera angles are bad, making it difficult to see who's shooting at you, or where you're going.. I hope they include some characters from this game in future MK games, like No Face, Tasia, and Tremor.

Special Forces

I've been a Mortal Kombat fan for many years now. I'm always excited about new Mortal Kombat releases. However, this game really disappoints. The gameplay is just too simple and the story lacks depth. Believe me save your money for something better. Subzero mythologies was way better.

Great bang for the buck!

Surprisingly good attempt to expand the Mortal Kombat universe. Fighting and exploring is a lot of fun - the combos are a standout for games of this sort - and the special effects are awesome. Story is a bit weak, as are the really cheesy FMV's, but the fighting and weapons more than make up for it. An improvement by a long shot over the appalling Sub-Zero entry. Well worth the $20 price tag.

Better than I expected!

After playing the horrible MKM Subzero, I thought this would be another bomb.. I gave it a chance because of the low price < You play as Jax and are able to do all of his signature moves plus many new combos that are earned thru experience points. There are also many weapons to use. Overall I think its worth picking up. I think Midway learned their lesson after MKM Subzero.

just plain horrible

Definitely the worst game of the MK series. This one is not worth even this low price. Save your time and money and play a real game like Metal Gear instead. I have to disagree with the previous reviewer, MKM was a masterpiece compared to this.

I disagree. Mortal Kombat is a very good game, but I think that Donkey Kong is the greatest game of all time.

ok

Not worth the time, energy, or money. Just plain bad gameplay and the game is so short.

Wait for it to drop to 5.00

Think of the money you save going to something more worthy.

The greatest video game of all time!

I think Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis is the greatest video game of all time.
