78. Game #98 -
Jackie Chan 2(Fists of Fire),1995
Have I heard of the game before?
No.
Have I played the game before?
No.
What is it?
A mid 90s motion capture fighting game that isn't Mortal Kombat.
How much did I play?
Half a dozen matches.
Thoughts?
Oh man now this is what I'm talking about. 1990s motion capture games that aren't Mortal Kombat are almost always hilariously bad, and this is no exception. The graphics for these things looked stupid in the 90s and they look really dumb now. Bad controls, bad hit detection, blood on every hit (depending on the character, it's a stupid explosion type effect for some), it's all here! To be fair the controls aren't awful, as at least I could make my guy do what I wanted most of the time, which isn't the case in a lot of these.
There are nine selectable characters, and three of them are Jackie Chan. I'm not kidding. It's Jackie Chan just in a different colored outfit. There's also a guy in a Dragon suit you'd see at a Chinese New Year celebration named 'Mysterious Lion'. You beat Mysterious Lion and there's blood gushing up as he's on the ground. You beat Jackie Chan and he just kneels down, gives a thumbs up, and says 'getting better!' Fuck you Jackie, you should bleed like the lion, who is obviously a guy in a suit. I don't really get why the lion suit guy makes blood but others don't. Anyway, I managed to win 5 matches with Mysterious Lion by literally doing nothing but jumping forward and hitting strong punch. Go me. Oh and there's a super meter and when it was full and I mashed the right buttons Mysterious Lion turned into a smaller version of himself who...couldn't really do anything? O....k....
Also also, this is a sequel and there's another one of these on the machine. Can't wait!
Any Engrish? Or any memorable quotes?
I'm Jackie Chan this is my game!
