Top 10 Video Games With Awkward Live Action Cinematics


man it’s really tough to be a struggling
actor a European rhythm changes like bad
kids welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top 10 video games with awkward
live-action cinematics you got a lotta
nerve showing your faith here but this
list will be looking at video games that
may have taken their grade school stage
play performance is a bit too seriously
these live-action segments have
transcended God awfulness and it becomes
so awkward that they’re kind of
hilariously charming it really doesn’t
matter what I think it’s how the player
feels about herself what do you think
we’re not just looking at games that use
full motion video but games that have a
few moments of quote unquote acting in
between the gameplay ready action No
number ten ground zero Texas welcome to
the end of the world
look out the Reticulans have attacked l
cadrin this small Texas town has been
invaded by a dastardly alien race that
have disguised themselves as various
townspeople your task is to destroy the
invading threat while being careful to
not shoot any people trying to flee the
scene that is of course if you can stand
the monotonous record skipping
soundtrack enough to do it although
we’re not so sure what’s threatening
about the aliens who fall back like
they’ve slipped on a banana peel and
those robot henchmen who popped like
water bloons hey at least the view is
nice in this shabby town am i right of
course if he’s not too bad number 9 it
came from the desert turbo graphics CD
edition let’s go I’m talking to you and
Tomek there’s a real charm to the old
b-movies of the 50s
something about larger-than-life music
those over-the-top screams and the
monsters they have to go up against you
know like giant killer ants I’m glad you
came down to see me bud really surely
they’d have come up with something
better 40 years later am i right me
things are coming together to kill all
of us they need this atomic waste for
something well welcome to lizard-breath
Nevada with a town named like that you’d
think you’d be going up against killer
lizards with toxic breath but nope it’s
ants
sound familiar
yeah even the game covers a callback to
those cheesy classics consider it a gory
update of sorts as you try to get those
flesh-eating ants away from the victim’s
body number eight need for speed
welcome to the clan brother while this
isn’t the first time the Need for Speed
franchise has dabbled in live-action
cutscenes we’re still kind of surprised
to see it in 2015 I gotta get more
straight
gonna split up that chassis Oh destroy
those wheels bang limiter and shred
those times yeah that’s not to say that
video games don’t have live-action
cinematics anymore we just expect them
to be you know kind of better the
dialogue is jarring to hear with random
bouts of slang and the need for actors
to be talking directly to the player or
if she’s concerned don’t mean a thing if
you ain’t got that green also if you’re
gonna bother with giving your racing
game live-action cutscenes couldn’t we
see some live-action racing maybe not
Vin Diesel levels of racing but you know
something other than seeing cars in the
garage sorry man
I ruined it
numbers having Mortal Kombat mythologies
Sub Zero Harm you lose if you played the
story mode in Mortal Kombat acts and
wondered who the heck’s arena was here’s
your answer
do not question me Serena or partly do
not fail this game served is a prequel
to the original Mortal Kombat you know
before the new games retcon everything
you see sub-zero
you can trust the sorceress sometimes
the story focused on sub-zero who is
hired by quan chi to complete a task
that unbeknownst to him helped the
sorcerer retrieve shinnok’s amulet it
was the 90s sub-zero couldn’t tell that
quan chi was evil despite that look of
his good boy what’s the best part here
the PlayStation version had live-action
cutscenes full of overdramatic dialogue
and those deep thundering voices not
even the gods can alter your chosen path
in life hey at least there’s a blooper
reel out there you and I number 6 night
trap what do girls do it’s slumber
parties sing catchy songs of course
oh yeah and get attacked by are those
supposed to be vampiric creatures wait
here we go that’s that’s better it’s up
to you to keep these girls safe or else
your commander will guilt trip you into
trying again and trust us you’ll be
trying multiple times since it’s damn
near impossible to focus on the story
and trap the augers at the same time
believe it or not this was one of those
games that had a hand in the creation of
the ESRB yep all of this cheesy horror
is why there’s a shiny M on your video
games now you’re welcome
number five make my video Marky Mark and
the Funky Bunch he’s so cute you’re such
a perv this guy is a serious musician
before Mark Wahlberg was happening what
no he was happening trust us this came
deserved that
the make my video series yeah it was a
series let players create videos for
timely music sensations like INXS criss
cross and our number five pick right
here okay okay okay okay okay okay okay
okay we’re not quite sure what to stare
and disbelief at first the gameplay and
the fact that you can splice together
nonsensical clips with only three songs
or God that plot one gear burger yes
sure okay
in Marky Mark’s case a brother and a
sister are at odds because he feels that
the videos need to be tough while she
demands they be sexy which means you get
to make both lucky you bro
and shoot him make my video make my
video number four twisted metal I’m
getting out of here and I’m taking your
track once a year at the legendary
calypso holds the twisted metal
competition where drivers partake in a
death battle all throughout the streets
of Los Angeles
whoever survives the carnage is able to
have any wish granted no matter how
ridiculous it may be anything you’re
pulling my chair dude they got guns
these scenes were actually cut from the
original release because the developers
couldn’t fit them all on the disc
but when twisted metal head-on was
released we thankfully got to see these
gems in all their cheesy glory complete
with foreboding music bikini clad women
shirtless men with firearms a villainous
man who’s missing his face truly amazing
acting and a very important brown paper
bag you you said it would be easy
terrible driving in LA we can understand
but this number three crime Patrol
I feel the heat and it’s not the kind of
heat I like is that vomit eating gum
shoot with a partner there’s crime afoot
so it looks like you’ll have to Patrol
it yeah I guess we recycle that from our
Marky Mark pic but that’s just like
American laser games continue to recycle
they’re shooting game formula in the 90s
if you played one of their games you
played them all but none really capture
the hilarious magic of full-motion quite
like crime Patrol
partner as you work your way up the
ranks of the police force you’ll find
yourself asking is this real how they
lose usual Thanks how you doing
the music the gameplay the acting the
fact that there’s actually a sequel
how did anyone manage to keep a straight
face during this production your dude
that’s not good is it number two slam
city with Scottie Pippen you smooth like
butter baby
pasty if you thought live action
first-person POV games were bad you’re
right however there’s something much
worse live-action first-person POV
basketball you want some of this
you got it what a bizarre direction to
take a sports game in why would anyone
want a first-person perspective when
trying to block a shot
how could anyone tell where they were
aiming when trying to make a basket
we’re not sure who we’re supposed to
feel more sorry for whoever did be
acting for your character or our years
after Scottie Pippen’s short-lived rap
career welcome to the city the fans with
no pit I hope you’re ready slam slam Sam
city next time take the Michael Jordan
route and team up with Looney Tunes
