Mortal Kombat II

"Mortal Kombat 2" remains the best of the MK-series, and can be fun to play even after all these years. MK 2 adds better graphics faster gameplay and a whole host of enhancements and improvements over the original game. The amount of blood has been greatly increased and there are lots of new finishing moves for the old and new characters. The atmosphere of this classic game is what lifts it above its younger brothers.

10/10

Mortal Kombat and its sequels are some of the greatest games ever created! It has a good story, incredible action, great music, awesome characters, very fun, really interesting looking stages, and more! Below is an In-depth review of the game called Mortal Kombat II!

Story: Many fighters around the world enter this deadly tournament. Since now the contest is in Shao Khan's hands it will become much more difficult for the Kombatants to win!

The Kombatants!

Liu Kang - This Chinese warrior is a fearless fighter who is bent on getting revenge!

Johnny Cage - An action movie star, Cage enters Mortal Kombat!

Lord Rayden - Is it true Lord Rayden is the God of thunder?

Shang Tsung - This old shapeshifting fighter is one of the greatest fighters ever in the history of the world! He has the power to take a living being's soul!

Scorpion - A poor soul, when he was a live his wife and child were murdered by Sub Zero and the Lin Kuei clan of ninjas. Scorpion with his trusty spear is seeking revenge on the cold one.

Sub Zero - The murderer of Scorpion's family is in the tournament. Now it will be a big showdown like never seen before!

Reptile - Not much is known about this fighter except he wears the same exact ninja uniforms as Scorpion and Sub Zero but only green and can mimic other fighters maneuvers! Though it is thought that he is the last of an ancient reptilian humanoid specie, he protects Shang Tsung from enemies.

Kung Lao - The last decedent of the heroic fighter Kung Lao is a former Shaolin monk and is also a member of White Lotus Society. He enters the tournament.

Jax - U.S. Special Forces Major Jackson Briggs enters the tournament with his huge bionic arms!

Katana - Katana is an assassin and has a twin sister but unlike Mileena she has a different agenda than serving the ruler of Outworld.

Mileena - Like Katana, she is also an assassin but unlike her twin sister she will do what she can for Shao Kahn!

Baraka - A nomadic mutant, he joins Shao Khan in the Outworld.

Kintaro - After Goro was defeated Kintaro, Shao Khan replaced the prince with this monster to lead his legions!

Shao Khan - A large and muscular being the supreme ruler of the Outworld, the Astrial Plane of Shokan, and all of the surrounding regions. The fighters have gathered and the tournament has begun! Will Khan rule supreme over Earth or can the earthlings defeat their opponents and Shao Khan?

Game Play: The game play is very good. The basic movies are easy to perform but the fatalities are very hard to do but with the help of cheats it can be much easier.

Graphics: The graphics are wonderful. Most of the game is digitalized!

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 II today!

This game is so good! The fatalities are so gory, unlike the sequels to this game. A little more realistic than Trilogy for the fact that most of the fatalities have the person falling down. In Trilogy when the person who's killed stays standing which is weird and disturbing. Most of the sequels suffer from this. My favorite Kharacter in this game is Kintaro, he's so hard to beat, but when you do it's a relief. UNTIL, you get to Shao Khan who is a little harder, which says a lot. It's my favorite in the series(Besides Deception). This is the peak of the series, after this the games start to fall until the Playstation 2 games. 9/10

"Mortal Kombat II," out just a year after the original, is one of the greatest video game sequels of all time. Returning some characters from the first (Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Rayden, Reptile, and Shang Tsung) and introducing new characters (Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Jax, Kung Lao, and Baraka) and new stage fatalities (and character fatalities), it's the greatest in kombative entertainment. Ed Boon and John Tobias are geniuses in my book. "Mortal Kombat 3" was just a few years down the road, but it's also easy to appreciate how far kombat has come since 1992. "Deadly Alliance," "Deception," "Shaolin Monks," and the upcoming "Armageddon" are masterpieces of bloody marvelous martial arts action. "Mortal Kombat" forever!

This game in my opinion is the best game in the mortal kombat video game series because it has everything you want in mortal kombat and is much better than the original game because it has more artistic and cooler characters than the original did and MUCH better fatalities and in overall is the best mortal kombat game you can buy at the minute.
