What Made Mortal Kombat Special Forces A TERRIBLE GAME?

  • The feature highlights the unfortunately chequered development phase of Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, a year 2000 Playstation exclusive spinoff centring on tertiary character Major Jax, with gameplay a departure from the usual beat ‘em up fayre to something akin to action-adventure. The results were catastrophically underwhelming, with the game’s bland environments, boring story, and half-baked combat the headlines in a laundry list’s worth of flaws.
    The feature also describes the development team, whom during production jumped ship with studio Midway opting to replace them with a skeleton crew of under skilled developers rather than cancel the project outright. These events coalesced to a catastrophic degree, with Mortal Kombat: Special Forces tragically being one of the lowest rated games of all time despite a promising foundation of developmental talent and fantastical lore.

      They were gonna make one called Fire and Ice with Sub and Scorp as the main characters but backed out for unknown reasons.

      Fire and Ice was in initial development but the studio closed down there are actually screenshots of a few pre level design images look it up

    I'd like them to retry this particular game now. Neatherrealm would blow it out of the park these days. Then do a Shaolin Monks/Mythologies type of game. That way they won't get burned out on fighting games.

    Remember seeing this is magazines thinking it looked amazing. Never found it in stores, years later I saw it mentioned and learning it was terrible.. guess I didn’t miss out on much.. but could be cool seeing MK branch out today with higher budgets

    Mortal Kombat at the point where they should be able to make a great spinoff game. Just about every character would be interesting as the lead in different ways

      Judging by how they keep rebooting every game since MK9 back to the vent of 2D Era MK1to3 game its better they don't make spin offs.

    I played this game back on the PS1 and I think I reached the first boss level and then quit after that because of how horrendous the controls and camera angles were.

      Good, its not worth playing either. The controls are wanky, the enemies ai is really bad, the story is not canon.

    In all my years playing the MK games, the only game I never played or owned was MK: Special Forces. It never appeal to me when it was new. And judging from past reviews & research, I don't think I really missed much, aside from the introductions to a few Black Dragon members...

      No, Special Forces was just a mess with the worst version of Jax where he rides a pimp mobile, wears a durag and underwear outside his pants and say "aww yeah" and "looking good" in VERY fruity way.
