The StoryOne of the earliest stories that established the Mortal Kombat universewas the relationship between Jax and Kano. Jax, a Special Forces Agent, washot on the trail of career criminal Kano, when he was led into the MortalKombat tournament.Kano represented the criminal underworld and Mortal Kombat was asupernatural event that caused all of these things to collide. But, we'veonly hinted at their shaded past.What events caused Jax to despises Kano so much?
How did Kano himselfcome to be involved with Shang Tsung? Why is Jax so bent on stopping Kano'sgang? Is it the Black Dragon?There's a story to be told here and one that will allow new elements ofgameplay, while remaining true to the myths that make up the Mortal Kombatuniverse.Jax's StoryJax has a new mission.
It's a mission he's always wanted to undertake,and the disdain for his nemesis Kano is much too great to ignore any longer.Kano represents the criminal underworld and Mortal Kombat was asupernatural event that caused the chasm between these two powerful rivals.Jax will be forced into hand to hand combat, as well as vicious gunbattles as he hunts down Kano. Join Jax in his search for Kano, destroyinghis henchmen along the way. Get ready, another battle has just begun.III. Experience Points and CombosAs you progress through Mortal Kombat Special Forces, Jax gainsexperience points. As Jax gains more and more experience points, his attacksbecome more powerful, his defense gets boosted, and he learns more powerfulcombos. All of the combos are a series of button presses which all adds upto one powerful attack chain.
Below are all of the new combos you learn asyou gain experience, and the readily avalible special moves:Readily avalible special moves: (Hold down R2 and then press one of thefour kick and punch buttons).NOTE. As you may have noticed, there is a blue bar under your healthbar. This blue bar is the meter of your special moves.
Every time Jax usedone of his special moves, the blue bar depletes a little.
Here's a direct quote from the manual of: 'One of the earliest stories established in the universe was the relationship between Jax and Kano. There is a story to be told here and on that will new elements of gameplay.' Now, I don't mean to ruin a good story before the last page has been turned, but here's the crux of what you learn while playing this game: Kano doesn't like Jax, Jax doesn't like Kano, and never the twain shall meet.

The End.Sadly, Midway has squandered several years of development (the game was originally meant for an N64 release back when that system was economically viable - how long ago was that?!?), not to mention the patience of some of their best programmers (some of whom, including original MK creators, have left the company) and the once-good name of Mortal Kombat once again on nothing. There is no story here, nothing worth playing through, no great host of surprises. Why even bother pretending that Mortal Kombat has this rich heritage if you're not going to follow it? After all, it was Kano and Sonya that had the rivalry in the beginning, and it wasn't until the third Mortal Kombat that Jax even had metal arms. But the producers of this game only had the interest of doing stuff that is 'cool', and to that end we have a jankey Blaxploitation style (all the rage after Tarantino.
And then out again after G vs. E failed), a big dude with metal arms, and guys that explode in blood when you punch them.Surprise - it's a bargain-bin-by-release game, and it's not so hot.Gameplay Midway promised us that, 'there is a story to be told here and on that will new elements of gameplay.' New gameplay, in this case, translates to the same punch-kick button pummeling you've played in thousands of other games of this type, combined with awkward handling of weapons and ex.
