The difference between this and the other video is night and day. When the game's controls actually are shit (as is indeed most definitely the case with Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero), and it's not merely the result of user error that the game "sucks" so much, then yeah, go right ahead and bash the hell out of them. This game absolutely deserves to be dragged through the mud.
Also, they did try to make this into its own separate sub-series, what with Special Forces and Shaolin Monks, both of which similarly weren't all that good.
