Men In Black: The Game (PS1) | Sean Seanson

[@talesfromiDEATH]

This was the first ps1 game I ever played. Imagine upgrading from you megadrive to your first 3d console. It's the future!!! Then you get stuck in a corridor for an hour, get killed a hundred times by a bomb and finally get stuck in a bin.... ...thank god my 2nd ps1 game was Crash Bandicoot

[@metalgear696]

"It has a cool opening, so, it has my full confidence" Peak gaming in the 90s.

[@shnick1990]

The absolute horror I felt when I went to visit a friend, he showed me various old PC games he had, and one of them turned out to be the PC port of this Men in Black game... PS1 version might not have come out in America where I live, but the PC version sure did...😱

[@Maggerama]

4:44 this "hold a button and press up to shoot" thing was a standard for PC back then. Hell, I still use it with some tank control games out of habit. Also, I played this "masterpiece" on PC, however, I don't remember it having that introductory bomb level. But it's probably another brain fart on my part.

[@ChrisSmout]

I remember hiring this game and could not for the life of me figure out how to get J out of the dumpster at the start.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Back when we used to play on potato PCs in early 2000s (when India was still way behind in gaming), the demo of the PC version of MIB game looked mindblowingly good (because pre rendered backgrounds).

[@SeanSeanson]

I still think pre redendered backgrounds really good even. They were definately some of the most eye catching games, even well into the early 2000s. Some parts of this game still look great, but the PC version is definately shines above PS1 port.

[@Skybreaker1337]

Oh lord the nightmares I had with this game as a kid. One of the rare games I never managed to beat.

[@FICTiVETRUiSM]

I always wondered what kind of game this was, it's a bummerto see it didn't turn out all that well. It's a shame because the Men in Black universe seems like it could be expanded further with a video game.

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

The comics + first movie were peak MIB.

[@luiskurosaki]

Man, I don't know why KZbin recommended me this video, but in that part 19:45 when he says "look for the chupacabra" it really made me laugh. greetings from Brazil, great video

[@Kinda_ANastyDude]

Growing up I was a console kid and my friend had the PC version of it, I remember being very excited to play it as I loved Men in Black, I don't think we ever figured out how to get out of that "tutorial" level. Never knew it had a PS1 port, kinda wish I had this one despite how bad it is.

[@georgeelokobi5732]

Great videos man, found your small soldiers review, got nostalgia for that game and your review is literally the best on KZbin for the game. Subbed man keep up the good work

[@SeanSeanson]

Appreciate the comment man! Thank you :)

[@PlaylistGeneral]

When I was a kid, my dad bought a WHOLE CRATE full of ps1 games from a video store (on a manic high) at a trade show, and this bastard was one of the games. At the time, I couldn't save because a friend filled my memory card with Cool Boarders data and I didn't understand that I could just delete that data, so every game I played from the crate HAD to be played from start to finish without saving. Checkpoint-less games like this one were my white whale. Seeing you die repeatedly from that bomb unearthed some buried trauma - it's quite an adult game because it throws you blindly into every situation and you basically need to use your intuition to complete the level. It took me weeks to get out of that hallway because I didn't know you needed to press a button on the right door, because it DOESN'T TELL YOU JACK. ...That crate was full of crap games XD

[@SeanSeanson]

Oh no I didn't even consider folks who didn't have access to a memory card... That sounds genuinely nightmarish. Crate of crap games seems like my kinda thing though XD

[@PlaylistGeneral]

​@@SeanSeanson Some of those games seem to be lost to time as well - there's one I can't find ANYWHERE which was a wacky street racing game with the most ghoulish gameover screens. They had a sketch of your distraught character post-match being upset, but the drawing style was this exaggerated sketch-artist style where their skin looked more like melted rubber. I can't find it anywhere. I'll never find it. Maybe the wheel will land on it idk XD

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Your manic dad loved you so much bless him

[@Dopeymanthing]

I heard that jet set radio future intro there. I can hear that noise a mile away.

[@martpr2012]

i binned this game off at that jump section too haha

[@pobsta]

It's so scary watching you only use one save slot, great video as always!

[@kiryukazuma589]

I love these movies and i just realized this games exist...damn

[@svdden_dread]

You just made my day

[@goblinking4650]

You should make a video about the evil dead game on ps1, it also has pre rendered backgrounds, tank controls and its also not that good. Btw you're quickly becoming one of my fav youtubers so keep up the good work!

[@SeanSeanson]

I am unfortunately very familiar with that game 😅. It absolutely might be worth a video down the line. Appreciate the comment, glad you enjoy the videos!

[@goblinking4650]

@@SeanSeanson Haha awesome!

[@gabrieljex]

Man... love both videos of MIB games... sugest to make one of Batman & Robin for PS1, the one based on the movie. Would love to see your review about that. You won my subscription, keep going!

[@SeanSeanson]

Thank you! Funnily enough I have a shorter look at Batman & Robin in my "Every DC Game Ranked & Reviewed" video. Not quite as in depth a look as it is with the MIB games but it should hopefully do :)

[@gabrieljex]

I will take a look at... =)

[@Senior_autismo]

I quit at the jumping section too.

[@kenpe1455]

Lol I had this game on pc, could never go further than the roof on the apartment

[@MakopoweredGaming]

I don't think it was your intention, but this actually made me want to play the game for myself, especially since we didn't get it in Canada. I'm sure that says something about me, especially given the focus of my channel, but whatever, right?

[@SeanSeanson]

Some might call you crazy, but I can repesct your decision. At least you'll know how to get out of the dumpster at the beginning, so you'll do better than most 😅

[@MakopoweredGaming]

@@SeanSeanson That, and the platforming in the Amazon level. Your sacrifice is a gain for the rest of us! 😅

[@nomadicmonkey3186]

It feels odd to see a 90s survival horror adjacent game didn't have its cutscenes told by shoddy character models standing motionless coupled with some top-notch voice acting, which they probably couldn't afford for obvious reasons.

[@captainslounge6098]

Deathloop is looking a little rough around the edges.

[@davenolan]

Wait, there were more missions than New York?

[@SeanSeanson]

It's better we didn't learn about that

[@NebLleb]

*Men in Trial and Error*

[@CitroenC407]

I remember really wanting this on PC back in the day, the screenshots on the box looked pretty great! Looks like I dodged a bullet 😀 Oddly I'd still like to try this, if only for the sheer randomness of it all.

[@JinxSanity]

I remember thinking why there wasn't a MIB movie game for 90s consoles before later finding about it and being excited to play it. Got a emulator to play it.. aaaaannd was greatly disappointed the controls were similar to Resident Evil but even worse with the barely responding controls, low health bar and trying really hard to move into the direction I want to shoot before I die. Couldn't pass the New York level and just decided to quit since it really seemed like a frustrating chore than the MIB world I wanted to experience. Looking forward to the MIB animated series game since I also got the emulator for it but didn't continue pass the 1st level.

[@SeanSeanson]

That opening level really is one of the harshest I've played in a game, it must have turned off so many people.

[@JinxSanity]

@@SeanSeanson I read on some KZbin comments on other videos about how one person as a kid rented it from a video store but ended up returning it that day cause the 1st level was so difficult it greatly disappointed him as a kid. I seriously wonder if the game was even tested or if it worked better on PC cause the shooting sections with the turning around to shoot people instantly was just impossible for me to do, I must had died about 10 times before quitting. Even playing on my phone with the emulator putting the controls all close together was hard to do, can't imagine the pain it must had been on a actual psx controller.

[@r3troid]

I got phisical copy of this game because its vey cheap . it took me long time to find first room and long time to understand the terrible control then i gave up after many explosions before I know how to turn off the bomb

[@obscuracrimepodcast]

It’s a shame because there is stuff here to work with. Brighten things up, balance the combat around shooting, remove platforming, and double the levels and your have an underrated gem. This feels like aloha of a game. Something that’d you’d show to your boss as early progress. The fact that they released it in this state is nothing short of shameful.

[@SeanSeanson]

Theres a good game here... Somewhere. Buried deep deep deep down within it.

[@FakYuhGoogel]

God damn, prerendered backgrounds can look so good, but the game is still such a turd that I feel sorry for anyone who bought this back in the day.

[@Dishamonpow]

Neat.

[@XoelRoMa]

A Spanish magazine listed it as one of the worst PSOne games ever. You like torturing yourself.

[@SeanSeanson]

It's what I deserve for taking a chance based on some pretty screenshots 😅

[@XoelRoMa]

@@SeanSeanson , The Lost World Jurassic Park also looks awesome on screenshots. Give it a try! And suffer!

[@SeanSeanson]

@@XoelRoMa oh no I played that one as a kid, I ain't falling for your trap 😅

[@osfloca3]

you mean hobby consolas

[@watchmejumpstart24]

This game was so bad... as a kid it felt like completely unfair gameplay and looking back as an adult I completely agree.. lol so much trial and error bs. And back then we didn't have save states

[@TheRealZyconis]

I've seen plenty of people talk about how bad this game is, but *wow* it's so much worse than I expected! I wonder if playing it at full res on PC would make it better or worse.

[@SeanSeanson]

From what I've seen the PC version, definately looks cleaner and more readable. But a big complaint about the PC version is a lack of controller support and after struggling with a controller most of the way through the game I can't imagine how hard it must be with a keyboard 😅

[@TheRealZyconis]

@@SeanSeanson At least you'd have a mouse for the cursor segments!

[@SeanSeanson]

It's a positive! We'll take all the positives we can get 😅

[@adamjagg]

I've never seen anybody make much of a mention of this, probably because it's trash, but the pc version which I owned. In the Arctic level, instead of picking up the cd to turn on the security system on the computer you had to manually enter the password to accesa it. Which I found out years later from a walkthrough was 'daisy' after the dog. I never got passed that, I was a child but there's no prompts or anything to give you any idea 🤣🤣 on the ps1 port they seemingly switched that little puzzle out. I cant imagine I was the only one who never got passed it

[@PatKerleyVA]

Man that just looks painful to play

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Too bad bc those arty screens were really striking.

[@MrAweeze]

Sean, how would you pronounce the word "thwap"?

[@SeanSeanson]

T-wop probably

[@stolensentience]

9:14 this joke aged well

[@Cuchulainn90]

Avalanche Reviews played this for his Resi clones series and don’t think he made it past the second level so fair play you masochist 😂

[@SeanSeanson]

Clearly a smarter man than I 😅

[@Cattigan619]

Never seen this game and going from them I would not like them lol Not a fan of the tank controls just like in the old Resident Evil games. Would like to see you do a video on wrestling games on PS1 and ranking them.

[@SeanSeanson]

I LOVE wrestling games and I was actually thinking of doing that, until I realized Japan has about 30 additional wrestling games 😅 Maybe just North American and PAL wrestling games some day... Probably worth it just to experience the WWF Warzone live action cutscenes again 😅

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Yes please Need to see if Sean did that

[@keypath4389]

WHYYY???? WHY are you torturing yourself???

[@SeanSeanson]

I was in too deep!

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

For our viewing pleasure?

[@Steadysphere]

Ouch, ouch, ouch! I love a good RE clone, but this looks like absolute garbage. I think this is one even I might skip - and I own an M&Ms PS1 game!

[@SeanSeanson]

This is the kinda thing playing M&Ms shell-shocked does to a person. It makes me immune to bad games! For better and for worse... 😅

[@Steadysphere]

@@SeanSeanson Oh yes, I think it made Lilo & Stich look superb when I was a kid xD That platforming bit looks like the stuff nightmares are made of on this one though!
