Mortal Kombat: Every Game Ranked From Worst To Best

15. Mortal Kombat: Special Forces

Starting things off, the worst game in the series goes to Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, a spin-off starring Jackson 'Jax' Briggs, released in 2000. Not only does it belong to the bottom of this list, but is one of the worst video games of all time.

The title suffered from a troubled development as Midway employees left during the middle of production such as series' co-creator John Tobias. This led to the game being reworked and rushed for its release date and boy, do the results show.

Despite being a 2000 release, the title suffered due to the aging PS1 hardware while other video games were already transitioning to the PS2.

The shooting was very repetitive and enemy encounters were frustrating. These problems can be attributed to the development cycle and led to numerous elements being cut, including Sonya Blade being the second playable character.

Ultimately, Special Forces put a halt on several MK spin-offs in development at that time. It's a shame too, as a spin-off third person shooter starring Jax and Sonya could have been fun, but with the circumstances, Special Forces was an absolute failure.
