Mortal Kombat Trilogy

In 1992, the original Mortal Kombat game exploded in arcades everywhere. It was bloody, violent, fun, had a pointless plot Ed Boon didn't even care about, and by 1992 standards, had very realistic graphics. The much-wanted sequel introduced more characters and a new boss. Mortal Kombat 3 introduced even more characters and the popularity still proved the MK idea fresh.

With the release of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, I think people finally got sick of more of the same. It finally happened. Ed Boon anticipated this, so he made one last attempt at this now-stale crap: MK4. What's different? It's 3-D, but by then the 10-year-old-boy public was moving on to bigger, better, and fresher things like Tekken 3.

Rewind back to THIS game: Mortal Kombat Trilogy. If you don't own a MK game by now, just move on to something else, UNLESS you've been living under a rock for 8 years. Still, this game is the best icon of the MK era, if released a little late.

It's MK1, 2, and 3 all crammed into one CD. The magic and challenge of the MKs have somehow been lost, and it doesn't have anything new in it.

BOTTOM LINE: Four years ago, I would have recommended this game IF you didn't already have a MK game at the time (like me). Now...just forget it. If you haven't heard of Mortal Kombat by now, you will never understand the magic this series of games once had.

Sorry... I don't liked the Mortal Kombat games much. They're not as fun as the Street Fighter games. Its doesn't have the gameplay. The only Mortal Kombat game, I'd liked the most is Mortal Kombat 4. The animation is poor.

Most people liked this game better than the great fighting games like Street Fighter because of the pointless blood. Thats doesn't make an great game. The only good thing about this game is the fatalities. Sometimes they're funny besides that not the best fighter out there.

I gave all Mortal Kombat games except MK4 this rating-- **

Well after the disappoint many people have had with Mortal Kombat 3 that really brought the series down from missing a lot of characters from the previous Mortal Kombat Video Games we now have them all back in Mortal Kombat Trilogy and boy isn't quite a treat that we can even play as the bosses too like Goro, Motaro, Kitaro and Shoa Kahn too!

The levels from previous Mortal Kombat Video Games are there too with there Stage Fatality too (but No Pit Fatality in Pit 2 Level and No Acid Pool Fatality in The Acid Level either due to technical difficulties boo) it definitely feels like a breath of fresh air to relive these levels and characters from previous Mortal Kombat Videos Games all combined into one video game what an absolute treat better yet you can access a cheat code to get a hidden options icon to give you 1 button Fatalities so you don't have to perform Fatalities by pushing buttons in a certain order with this cheat on!

So are there any complaints you might be wondering well sadly yes for a start where is original Sub Zero's Head Rip Off Fatality when I played all He could do was a strong punch that killed his opponent and an uppercut and performing an icicle freeze move to impale his opponent but I was really wanting to see that cool Head Rip off move he could do in Mortal Kombat 1 secondly the video game is ridiculously hard even on easy setting that the AI opponents literary beat you to a pulp giving you very little time to learn your moves let alone perform them on the AI opponents and if you can defeat Shoa Kahn then you pretty much deserve a metal as an official Mortal Kombat Pro cause as if getting pasted all the other AI opponents wasn't challenging enough defeating Shoa Kahn was supremely difficult I gave up regularly even thought I am a true Mortal Kombat Pro myself and thought I had it pretty much learned by heart!

Overall I think this Mortal Kombat is definitely worth buying if you are a Mortal Kombat Fan but you had best be quick as the PlayStation era had pretty much outdated 2D Fighting Video Games and moved onto 3D with Video Games like Tekken and Soul Blade!

"Mortal Kombat Trilogy" is the last great MK-game, before the series became crap. MKT takes all the characters and backgrounds from Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, all in one package which uses the graphical engine of Mortal Kombat 3, to improve the visuals somewhat. Nowadays this game looks quite old-fashioned, but it`s a game with great nostalgic value, and a game for fans who haven`t got the three first games. If you`ve got neither of the MK-games, then MKT is by far the best option.

10/10

MK Trilogy is the first Mortal Kombat(And also the first fighting game) for N64. The graphics aren't so good.Looks like more Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, launched in the same year(1996). The game has many voices(errr...More shouts and screams) and cool musics. The gameplay is medium.You could choose many controls, such as using or the control stick or the D-Pad.But the response wasn't so good after all. The game had a great Fun Factor.The best part was the high number of characters you could use(More than 23). This game is now rare to find. My scores:

GRAPHICS-6/10 SOUND-8/10 GAMEPLAY-6/10 FUN FACTOR-10/10

My overalls: 7.5/10.
