I never really took the time to actually see how much I love fighting games... and to be honest, I really only love one. Mortal Kombat. You see, back in the early 90s, when that game came out, my brother was playing it non stop. We were the Sega Genesis kids mainly because Sega does what Ninten-don't. However, when the N64 came out, I got it, so Nintendo wasn't really that bad of a company for us. Anyways, Mortal Kombat was the only fighting game the two of us really got into. I never really saw my brother take home a Street Fighter game. Not too many of his friends played it either when they came over for their male bonding time.
And as we grew up, neither of us still had a liking for Street Fighter. Now, don't get me wrong here, I don't hate the series, nor do I think Mortal Kombat is superior. These games all have their pros and their cons, but it was just that I grew up with Mortal Kombat and I choose that over Street Fighter any day. I've never really played Street Fighter as much as I did with Mortal Kombat. When I actually do play Street Fighter, I tend to just mash the buttons like crazy and hoping that I do something with that. I don't know why this is, I mean, if I spent most of my time that I do with Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter, I'd probably be somewhat decent. The problem is just that I never really did took the time to look at the character's moves and play the practice mode over and over again until I mastered majority of their moves. Same goes to any of Capcom's fighting games, I just cannot get with it and play it the way it should be played. Their moves to me seem complicated. Sure, most of you who play Capcom's fighting games might be laughing at me, but I really don't mind, I deserve it because hey, I'm not going to be perfect at everything might as well confess it now.
There are other fighting games out there that I tried... well, only one, Soul Calibur, and of course, I had no fucking clue what I was doing. To be honest, I only got the game because of their create a character mode, and from what I saw, I really liked it. But after I actually tried to play the game, I still had no fucking clue what I was doing.
Mortal Kombat really is the only fighting game I can get into. It's not because it's simple to learn everything, but I just really love the way it plays... despite that it's simple to learn everything is a key factor to why I like it. I shouldn't really have to be ashamed that I can't pick up Street Fighter and all those other fighting games, it's just that for some reason that kind of style never stood out nor have I ever took the time to actually sit down and play the game. With Mortal Kombat, I did so, and becuase of that, I really have a fun time defeating my brother every now and then, as well as defeating my friends.
And, the only reason why I decided to make a blog about my personal life with fighting games for this week is because I'm kinda in a brain-farting mood. I really couldn't decide what game to review this time and well... I guess I could start reviewing some nostalgic games for next week's blog thingy...
I'm still also trying to find some way to make video blogs... maybe over the summer probably... as well as my psychology project that has me talking about how women are portrayed in video games... and it's not going to be the feministic view either. I really don't want to do that. I'm rambling.

Sweeeeeeet Emooooooootioooon
Revolution X is the game on my list of bashing and reviewing and whatevers. So as we play the blatant Terminator 2 game, we come to find ourselves fighting against a group called New World Order, they hate everything you like. Aww, so they hate cute little kitties?
You're fighting against these never ending dudes in yellow who also have roller blades on as well, shooting a barrage of bullets at you that only a few actually connects. You're heading to Club X, the hottest new club that opened in LA because AEORSMITH is playing there tonight! But as you're fighting through, they get captured by NWO's leader, Helga, played by Kerri Hopkins, who also plays all the girls in the game and who is also Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat. Reason why I mentioned that is because Midway is to thank for this game. When you get to Steven Tyler's dressing room, he tells you to go to his car and such, stop NWO from taking over the world and music is the weapon.
Yeah.
Oh, did I mention that before you see Aerosmith get captured, a giant tank comes storming into the club? It's that kind of a game.
When you get to the car and such, you're on your way to three different locations. The Middle East, the Amazon and Pacific Rim. In each of these locations, you need to stop whatever NWO is doing at these spots, whether it's to stop a busload of children on their way to be brainwashed, contaminated food, or chemical making. In each of these spots, you're also fighting men with surf boards for maskss and Power Ranger cosplayers. Each of these levels have bosses that take FOREVER to destroy, so remember to stock up on a bunch of CDs, because remember, music is the weapon... which means music literally IS the weapon. You have to basically dismember these bosses piece by piece, leaving absolutely nothing left of it.
There's a bit of a difference when you're playing the Middle East level, where you're stopping a busload of children to be brainwashed. You have to constantly keep up with the speed of the bus, so you're either speeding up or speeding down every now and then. Once you magically find a way to actually destroy this bus, you also kill the kids that are inside of it, because once you destroy the bus, you really destroy the bus, meaning that you also destroy the children that are inside. Great job you murderous bastards.
Throughout the game, you have to find all the members of Aerosmith. You have to do a series of tasks in order to find them. So, to find Steven Tyler, you have to shoot these two fishheads and this TV in the lounge area, once you do that, you'll be entering in some secret zone and you'll find Tyler making out with some random chick. It's like that with the other characters, finding something to shoot at and heading onto the secret area. Why am I mentioning this? Because you HAVE to find these guys in order to get the REAL ending. Yeah, it's one of THOSE games.
You see, once you defeat Helga, meaning once again, shooting and dismembering her... I mean, he, yeah, Helga is really a giant mutated macho man in disguise, piece by piece, you get words scrolling up on the screen telling you about the ending. If you didn't find all of the members, it tells you that you will not be rocking with the "greatest" band ever, Aerosmith, because you didn't locate all of the members. You gotta find all of them to be legends.
Meh, that's fine, I'm sure everyone else will be pleased to rock out with me after I saved all of their lives from the New World Order. I'm sorry Aerosmith is too arrogant to rock out with me because I couldn't find their sorry asses in hard to reach spots.
