Mortal Kombat Trilogy

"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

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-- **

I like this version of Mortal Kombat the least because they did the minimum amount of work to bring back the old characters\scenes that they put into the game. Instead of creating new graphics they took old graphics and tried to make them fit into the MK3 style which did not work so well also instead of filming new footage so that the characters can do the new combo moves they took the old footage and mixed it up so it seems like they are doing combos. Then a lot of the new characters where left unfinished making this in general feel like an unfinished game.

The series wen't downhill after Mortal Kombat II for the arcade and there had been nil a good home version made, most of the home versions just made the game look bad, especially this one this cheapened it. Mortal Kombat II (ARCADE) will always hold the crown as the best 2D Mortal Kombat. Because instead of improving on the formula they took it (MK3-4) in a direction that was not good for it m aking it progressively more cartoony, cheesy, wwf like, unfinished, not as dark. But they now seem to be fixing that with the newest versions and improve the gameplay to boot. NOW it's going in the right direction (since MKD).

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.

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.
