[@devblue510]

this is the best play through of this game on youtube! no stupid commentary!!!

[@KombatGod]

I like how in the end Shang Tsung is played by Richard Divizio. This means that throughout the series he played Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Kano and Baraka. Basically most of the iconic villains in the series.

[@hana-ng4ql]

+KrossoverGod uhh,he also played kabal..

[@KombatGod]

Kabal From Black dragon right

[@josezamora3365]

[@persona83]

I can't understand why this game is regarded as "poorly received" by public/critics. It's just awesome. The MK franchise should have had more games like that.

[@pelu101]

they did, they made MK Special Forces but that was awful, they redeemed themselves with MK Shaolin Monks years later. MK9 is the beginning of these kinds of story playing mode. I'm glad that in MK9 they referenced this game to give it more importance to the storyline and more sympathy towards Sub-Zero

[@persona83]

Yes, MK SF had scathing reviews, but it's a lot different from mythologies. I think they could have made more "mythologies" expanding the rich MK canon until that point. And following the "eastern" atmosphere. And I dunno about Jax being that popular to the point of have it's own adventure.

[@michaeltucker7374]

persona83 yea they could have picked a more popular character then jax, hell they should have did scorpion mythology, or even kung lao.. But jax? in the words of avgn; what the fuck were they thinking!!!!

[@michaeltucker7374]

wifey mcbeaty this game wasn't bad, easily 3 out of 5

[@persona83]

A Kung Lao mythologies would have been awesome!

[@baruser2575]

I'd say this game is underrated. It managed to mix fighting and platforming just fine. The music definitely suits the atmosphere of the game. The controls at least for me were good. (then again, I played it on my laptop). The story is great, definitely the strongest point of the game.

[@aodhablackheart]

I don't know why people came down so hard on this really, even before the days of people just adopting the opinions of their favourite atention seeking KZbin nonentities. It's actually pretty good, and laid the groundwork for the excellent Shaolin Monks. It's certainly a lot better than Special Forces, that deserves the vitriol more.

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

I was in my teens when i first played this game. It took me so many retries to finally finish it.

[@joeytrevino7809]

I had this game! I love the animation they used and the real life actors.

[@FoieGras]

I find it hard to believe that Sub-Zero beats Scorpion (twice including undead), the elemental gods, and friggin Shinnok in Shinnok's realm in this and then manages to get himself killed by undead Scorpion later. He must've had one helluva bad day that day or MK needs to be more consistent as to who is stronger than who.

[@KalvinEllis]

Well that was the irony. The older Sub-Zero was strong but in the end he didn't choose a different path and that's why he got killed and became a servant of Shinnok. The younger Sub-Zero is probably not stronger, but he is definitely smarter.

[@Entropy3ko]

FoieGras Well both sub-zeros are among the strongest characters. The elemental gods are strong, but not as strong as Raiden is, for example.. Scorpion: in human mortal form he might have been weaker than in Spectre form (just like Sub-Zero becomes more powerful when he becomes Noob Saibot) In Spectre form here Scorpion might still be relatively weak, being just killed and resurrected not too long ago. Probably Scorpion's powers grew by the time he joined the tournament and was able to defeat Sub-Zero. Quan Chi: canonically Sareena helps Sub-Zero to defeat him, so he's not alone in the fight. Shinnok: one might argue that Shinnok is still weak. He just escaped his imprisonment and he wears a fake amulet (Quan Chi kept the original for himself) and moreover Shinnok just overthrew Lucifer from the throne of the NetherRealm, hence Shinnok might still be weak from that battle as well when he faces Sub-Zero. --- In any case consistency in MK and many other fighting games is tenous at best... In principle Raiden should ne much more powerful than most other characters, since he's a god... and Shinnok should be the strongest of all, since he is an Elder God.

[@vhvelazquez7187]

Awesome observations.

[@basilofgoodwishes4138]

Problem is that Shinnok is a fallen elder God, thus he lost most of his power. Raiden is strong, but he has to limit his powers in order to go to the mortal world, not to mention that Shang tsung and Quan chi´s magic matches the strenght of raiden.

[@enexe6229]

that's because ed baboon sucks at making good stories unlike john tobias. also in the og timeline scorion ambushed bi han between mk1 and mk2 because he knew that he would never defeat him in a fair fight.

[@johndeering2798]

About 7 years after this game they decided that Sub-Zero, after surviving this entire game, went to Mortal Kombat 1, only to be killed by Scorpion. He dies, goes to Hell (the Nether Realm), and becomes Noob Saibot before MK2/Shaolin Monks. So he remains Noob Saibot throughout Ultimate MK3, and MK4, and MK: Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon. In the remake, MK9, the same story plays out the same way again.

[@AmazingKingXman]

I noticed Sub-Zero’s face when he found out the entire Shriu Ryu clan was wiped out. Before he became Noob Saibot, Elder Sub-Zero wasn’t heartless.

[@sammylane21]

Always a blast to look back no??

[@canonshooterla]

its so cool how he apparently does not need his legs to climb ropes, he just upper arms it all the way up, its like hes paralized from the waist down, and he needs to climb

Играть интересно, а видео заставки выполненные в кинематографичном стиле просто подарок для любого фаната МК. Я поражаюсь, что со временем игроки не приняли игру, это говорит о том, что истинных фанов настоящего МК очень мало. Остальные графодрочеры или киберкотлеты.

[@pointman824]

I think they should remake and remaster this game. I'm so interested in playing it, and I never got to play it. And whenever they make an Mk11 (or MkXI), I hope they bring back Noob Saibot as a playable character again. They should also bring back the Original Sub-Zero with his Mk9 costume (with some newer details), and his ice ball shout in Mk9 along with his classic stance in Mk1 and classic moves derived from this game, such as his combos, and his icy counter etc albeit a lot realer and well balanced of course. It'll be pretty neat as a mixture in my opinion.
