Mortal Kombat Trilogy

I am not happy about the quality of the game but the rest I like basically the fatalities etc, The game itself is good but the quality needed more work. The reason I am voting a ten is because this game is loads of fun. The game has lots of stages including the wastelands, the tower, the lost bridge, the bridge, the pits 1,2,and3, and many more. The stage fatalities in the game isn't the best stage fatalities in the world but it is cool to do them. The tomb has spike from the ceiling, Scorpion's lair has hot lava, the subway has a subway train, the bell tower has spikes on the bottom of some floors, The pit has spikes on the bottom with dead people on them, the pit 3 has some fan like object that can take your opponent into little pieces, and last but definitely not least the dead pool has acid like stuff in it. I have to say this game has been overlooked a lot of times i want to ask why? One reason why I ask this is because i want to know why this good game is not getting great reviews. I give it a 10/10.

Difficulty: The game can be very easy or it can be very hard depending on what you set the difficulty level.

Music: The music is great! Just awesome catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

Sound: The sound is great. The real voices sound clear and the punching and kicking does as well.

Overall: I have always loved Mortal Kombat. If you like excellent fighting games then I strongly recommend you play Mortal Kombat Trilogy today!

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).

"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

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.
