![]() ![]() Also the 8 player tournament was also welcomed good. The versus mode and the 2 vs 2 player battles were awesome as hell for that time, it was probably the best thing about the game. Playing through the arcade was fun, and discovering the secret treasures of Shao Kahn after you beat him was mostly entertaining, though the Supreme Demonstration was dramatically toned down, about that i will talk in the flaws of the game. Gameplay itself was fun - you started with 23 playable characters, + there was 1 character, who could be secretly played when picking a similar character and pressing a button combination at the same time (the secret character was Human Smoke.) The audio was descent as well, but also missed a lot. The blood still looked good as in the arcade game, but effects were dropped down a bit. But whatever you do, avoid this game by any means necessary, and don't say that I didn't warn you!!!Īdditionally, how could this garbage possibly have been approved for release by Nintendo? This game does not deserve any kind of "Seal of Quality" because, for the record, it is absolutely ROTTEN! I could go on and on about this piece of garbage, but if it isn't clear up to this point: Don't play this game.īy that time UMK3 was probably the best fighting game for Sega Genesis, though this port was quite lazy generally, but had still very cool pluses.Īt first the graphics - the arcade game had impressive graphics, but the Genesis ports graphics were a lot more pixelated, but the frame rate was perfect at least. You'll be much better off playing all of the other Mortal Kombat games (except for Mortal Kombat: Special Forces). Actually, that's only the beginning of the sheer awfulness of Mortal Kombat on the GBA. Pure, rotten crap in a GBA box that smells so bad, the stink will kill you if you smell it. And, despite the fact that the game does look and sound like Mortal Kombat (Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 to be exact), visuals and sound are of low quality, further hampering an already horrible game. To top it all off, he will get very close to you and punch and kick the crap out of you before you even have a chance to defeat him. Back to the AI, your opponent will block all of your attacks (contrary to the limited controls mentioned above), making him absolutely impossible to destroy, and making the game's existence completely pointless. Not that the attack is going to register anyways. Since the punches and kicks are actually the strong attacks in the original Mortal Kombat games, which take a while to wind up, that means that there is an absolutely ridiculous delay between the press of the button and the attack actually registering. No fatalities, no special moves, no blocking, no nothing aside from those basic controls. Get this: Aside from your movement controls (left, right, jump, crouch), you can only punch or kick. So, it's more like a horrible excuse for AI rather than actual AI that can actually play by the rules.ĭue to the translation to the GBA, the controls have been watered down in order to work with the GBA's built-in controller. So, what is it that makes the AI so horrible? It's that it constantly cheats in order to win. Where to start? Mortal Kombat on the GBA has some of the worst AI that I have ever seen in a video game. What you're left with here is a great online-enabled emulation of a so-so fighting game (plus a lame puzzle game) which looks rather anaemic now that violence in video gaming is nothing to rave on about. ![]() Newbies may want to give it a chance to see what it was that us older folk were so crazy about all those years ago, but the ridiculously spewing blood and gruesome fatalities have since been superseded by more disturbingly horrific imagery. But you may have since grown weary of the rather shallow battle mechanics that can't hold a candle to modern 2D fighters nd Puzzle Kombat can only keep you occupied for so long. If you enjoyed uppercutting your mates into the rooftop back in the nineties, well - some things don't change. I suppose it really comes down to how much you dig the original Mortal Kombat trilogy (note that Mortal Kombat Trilogy is actually most complete compilation why it isn't the version featured in here is another story).
