Story Breakdown: Mortal Kombat - Special Forces (PlayStation)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

After years of teasing us with watered-down substitutes, Warner Bros. will finally be bringing a real, R-rated Mortal Kombat movie to the theaters this Friday. One that will be filled with blood and gruesome fatalities. Hell, we'll even see Jax lose his arms again. To celebrate all the gore and carnage, I wanted to take a trip back to a time to when those metal limbs actually came in handy. I'm of course talking about the horrible 2000 brawler Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, which saw our hero Jax fight through some of the dullest levels ever to track down his arch-nemesis, Kano. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for Mortal Kombat Special Forces on the PlayStation. This is Game Over: The Early Years.
