Yep. I remember being bummed my older bro made me pick Kung Lao at first but over the course of the game both story wise and move kit wise (tp kick infinite combo) he became my favorite.
My favorite mortal Kombat game ever, I love kung laos exclamations, particularly the one that sounds like "babyyyyyy", although it's actually said "daybere"
Yesterday I was thinking to myself “Evan drops every month or so but it’s worth the wait because of the presentation and jokes”. So I have no problem waiting for these videos you’re the best youtube i’ve seen in a long time. keep it goin my guy
Evan, your humour is simply incredible. The timing, the soundbytes, the purposefully flat jokes, it's absolutely genius. Please keep making videos, much love ❤
Holy hell, I never see anyone talk about this game. Me and my best friend 100%ed this game more than once as literal children. I’ve just realised how cool it is that we still play co-op games as adults. Thanks for this man, I shall sub
It is criminal on how little videos about gameplay, story, and just simple analyst about this game. People talking about Mk Deception having the best free roam story mode which is so not true. Me and my friends always believe that this is THE MK GAME and not the 1v1 clasic fighting game. This is one of the Ps 2 Masterpiece
Plus the fact that every new MK games has not put some of the Mk Shaolin Monks fatality as a freaking homage fatality in game is so dissapointing. Imagine Kung Lao just beating you with rabbit on Mk1 😂
Evan posting has got to be my favorite holiday of all time ever. Doesn't matter what game he's covering he'll always make it interesting and fun to watch
This game slapped so hard, i was lucky enough to have a friend to play coop with. It was so addictive he stayed at my house for three days and we slept like 4 hours and did it on all 4 characters… the good ole days
Evan I love how you cover games so passionately... I was wondering if you could do a video on one of my most favorite PS2 games that is very underrated. There's a few videos on it but none of them do it justice. Please consider playing it and making a video about it! The game is Death By Degrees
I only watch a small number of youtubers these days, you have tue quality content i like to see when i do watch. Keep it up maaaaan you got a good formula 👍
I remember spending so much time with my childhood. Best friend playing this game every time he'd come over and we'd have a sleepover. Or something we would be playing mortal combat, shall in monks.
Was literally just wondering when you were gonna post again a few days ago. Haven't even watched the vid yet but I know it's gonna be worth the wait lol. You've got some of the best stuff on YT
hands down one of the best MK games ever created - played this religiously when I was a kid - favourite character to use was Scorpion cos of the combo’s you could hit people with - I also remember you could do cheat codes in the start menu to unlock characters without actually finishing the game - seeing this now as adult makes me want to play it again for old times sake…
Awhile back I beat the game by myself for the first time with both Liu Kang and Kung Lao. First time I replayed something and had fun replaying it back. Timeless klassic right here 🔥
best friend and I were play this every day with chess kombat and motor kombat breaks. The MK spin off games and mini games is what I miss most about the xbox days
Omg I've been loving your content lately. You're honestly one of my Favourite content creators If you could however, I'd love to see you cover That Jason Bourne Game uh... Jason Bourne: Conspiracy I think it was called? I remember it was really cool and I thought it would be cool to cover on a video too!
I truly enjoyed this playing it with my younger brother in 2012 the good old days😂 we couldn't get enough of it definitely one of my favourite ps2 games saved lunch money for a month and bought it .🙂
This game is the reason why Kung Lao is one of my favorite MK characters. He was a monster in this game
Right! The story even made him the cool one compared to Liu Kang
Exactly why Kung Lao became one of my favorites. Then every game after they started to clown him more and more😭
Yep. I remember being bummed my older bro made me pick Kung Lao at first but over the course of the game both story wise and move kit wise (tp kick infinite combo) he became my favorite.
Same! This was what made me a Kung Lao fan for life!
Same here!
Worst thing that happened to the human race was mk fire and ice getting canceled when midway shut down
Worse than 9/11
The man's back with the best mk game.
Wooooo
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Armageddon bro
Lol Armageddon isn't even in top 3 best MK games, that's crazy you think so.
You said it! Especially on how much of the failure MK1 is!
I cant understand why they haven’t remastered this game. Me and my brother played this religiously 😂
Netherrealm needs to understand it'd make bank if they did remaster it, if they have the rights to it 🤷
I'd be first in line for that after playing this
And I would be second lmao
I ll be the third
Me too!
The crash bandicoot spin sound 👌🏼 spot on.
Thanks haha the crash sounds were neglected by me for way too long
@@EvanHelblingYT Crash reviews when?
i still play this game today and its still amazing to me the story driven nature of this game really got me into mortal kombat
Downloaded it to my tablet amazing
My favorite mortal Kombat game ever, I love kung laos exclamations, particularly the one that sounds like "babyyyyyy", although it's actually said "daybere"
Bro all you do is cover heat 🔥
This game was the sickest thing to me when it came out!
Bro I referenced the tattletale strangler in the video 😂 Your pfp might have influenced me
nice pfp
@@EvanHelblingYT now I’m part of the Evan extended universe. It’s now a canon event!
wait your the official strangler from spongebob the real deal?@@MikeBreezy94
The punchlines and deliveries are so satisfying and hilarious.
thankyou v much sir
Yesterday I was thinking to myself “Evan drops every month or so but it’s worth the wait because of the presentation and jokes”. So I have no problem waiting for these videos you’re the best youtube i’ve seen in a long time. keep it goin my guy
Haha thankyou my guy. Gonna try for every 3 weeks or less goin forward. I appreciate ya big time 🤘
Me and my bro used to rock this game to no end! Thank you for dropping this nostalgia bomb 😊
love to hear that man, thankyou!
america also dropped this nuclear bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki
Speaking as a portal, thank you for covering the best MK game there is.
I appreciate u brotha, portal gang
this game was awesome. it was fun to play with my brother cooperatively
Also the voice over for this game was sick whenever he calls out the names or the "excellent/outstanding/superb"
That Quan Chi piece you did in High School is pretty damn good. I like it too.
Thankyou my man 😁
Top tier entertainment as always,love your vids dude!
Thankyou as always dude! 🤘
Hello fellow portals!
This was the first mk game I ever played growing up this what got me into the series. I’m glad it’s getting the praise it’s deserves
The Netherrealm..... A Certified Hood Classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😁😂
If there was a game that needed a remake or remaster, it's this one.
Please keep uploading, you’re literally one of the gaming entertainment gems on TH-cam
That drawing is sick props man
The goat has returned 😭🙏
Yes! 🥹🤘
Man I had a shit day but new video on an mk game cheered me up🙏
happy to hear that brotha!
Evan, your humour is simply incredible. The timing, the soundbytes, the purposefully flat jokes, it's absolutely genius. Please keep making videos, much love ❤
One of your best videos. You’re getting better with these productions.
Thankyou! I’m workin on gettin the formula down, so I appreciate that
This is a throw back! I remember playing through this one growing up! Keep up the awesome work man!
a great one at that! Thankyou man!
I don't know why don't you have already at least 1 million subs. Best gaming content i've seen for a long while. Greetings from Portugal!
I appreciate that a lot man thankyou! Shoutout Portugal
Legit man this guy is hilariously epic good jokes etc
This video made my day
This is my childhood
Thankyou lad, love to hear that
i just found your channel a few days ago & its right up my alley. i love me some video essays about video games.
"Talk about a spin-off video game" was my favorite from this one. 😂 Always really enjoy your stuff. Thanks for making it!
Holy hell, I never see anyone talk about this game. Me and my best friend 100%ed this game more than once as literal children.
I’ve just realised how cool it is that we still play co-op games as adults.

@@zeinzz1906 I mean, this is not "free roamming". Deception's konquest is like a whole side game inside of a fighting game, wich is a lot.
Evan posting has got to be my favorite holiday of all time ever. Doesn't matter what game he's covering he'll always make it interesting and fun to watch
Completely forgot i played this game! I borrowed it from a friend! Wasn't really into MK games, but i enjoyed this one!
This game slapped so hard, i was lucky enough to have a friend to play coop with. It was so addictive he stayed at my house for three days and we slept like 4 hours and did it on all 4 characters… the good ole days
them logic pro x tutorials had me lockd in lmaooo crablord was the goat 🐐 ong
Another banger video! Shaolin monk was a big part of my childhood.
Thankyou, I wish I played more than the demo back then!
wake up babe, a certified evan classic got uploaded
Also pls play Metal Arms
This was easily one of the three best mortal Kombat videos I've ever seen
Another classic banger, i love the new editing style
Thankyou man! i’m slowly figurin out the editing balance :)
Excellent vid as always, dudebro. Great work 👏
thankyou brotheroni!
Ah, a fellow "spam the same moves that seem to have worked for the last 6 hours" enthusiast, very good tactic sir, very good.
Thankyou my good fellow 🤝
Great to see you back! Keep up the good work!
Glad to be back! Thankyouuu

Love your puns. One of the best game review channels hands down. Also.some of the coolest intros.
Hahah thankyou my man
I wish they made another of these.
Right, they can’t just throw Quan Chi at the end without continuing
Knocked it out of the park with this one Evan. Really awesome to see one of my favorite games get reviewed! 🔥
I watched the whole videos and didn't skip forward a single time, good job
Oh man this is one amazing upload, please keep it up Evan!!❤
Edit: 2:27 Evans cat is a Portal confirmed
thankyou so much! Yeah he had to represent haha
my man came back with a banger❤
these PS2 MK games are so wild, good stuff dude!
So much good lore here haha, thankyou dude!
I only watch a small number of youtubers these days, you have tue quality content i like to see when i do watch. Keep it up maaaaan you got a good formula 👍
You've become one of my favorite gaming channels. Love the nostalgia games, the sound effects, the yolks. Looking forward to the future of videos
I remember playing the crap out of this with my cousin playing the co op campaign and 1v1! Thanks for the memories 😊
I need to try get a co-op run forsure, thankyou man!
I remember spending so much time with my childhood. Best friend playing this game every time he'd come over and we'd have a sleepover. Or something we would be playing mortal combat, shall in monks.
That’s what it’s all about 🫡
This 9, Deception, and trilogy are the best. 12:38 😂 got u your thumbs up.
The quality of your videos is absolutely top tier 😂😂
it even had optional bosses like ermac and you could play as sub zero and scorpion. Man these videos just show me how good the ps2 era of gaming was
Was literally just wondering when you were gonna post again a few days ago.
Haven't even watched the vid yet but I know it's gonna be worth the wait lol. You've got some of the best stuff on YT
This was the first Mortal Kombat that I played and also my most favourite. Me and my younger brother used to play CO-OP all the time.
"But unlike prime Shaq in the paint, I wasn't gonna back down" 😂😂😂
Bars
Your commentary is top tier 👌😎
man, bit of a shame you missed the optional content, but i'm glad to see more love of this game.
hands down one of the best MK games ever created - played this religiously when I was a kid - favourite character to use was Scorpion cos of the combo’s you could hit people with - I also remember you could do cheat codes in the start menu to unlock characters without actually finishing the game - seeing this now as adult makes me want to play it again for old times sake…
does anyone know how I can play this again ? the only console I have is a PS5…
Finally, a Mortal Kombat entry I can play without embarrassing myself with my breathtaking lack of skill at Fighting games!
I remember finishing it with my brothers multiple times on ps2. Such a good memory.
a legend reviewing a legend! Greetings from a Skeleton on the internet!
your writing and editing is awesome keep it up
truly the greatest MK spin-off, I hope they’ll explore this type of concept again 🔥

Cool! Make a review of LOTR 2 for PS2! Keep up with the great content man!
Awhile back I beat the game by myself for the first time with both Liu Kang and Kung Lao. First time I replayed something and had fun replaying it back. Timeless klassic right here 🔥
