Mortal Kombat
Moral KombatGenre: fighting - 1v1
Publisher: Arena Entertainment
Year: 1993
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
No Pause button! Are you serious? Long load times between fights Unplayable on a 3 button controller. The block button is Start. Yeah good luck with that. Slow gameplay Excellent hit detection Long animations leave you open to attack Very difficult, even on Easy and with a handicap. 7 fighters although Scorpion and Sub-Zero are just palette swaps I personally dislike the controls. They feel unresponsive compared to other fighters, but they're deliberate which I guess has its own merits.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Only one mode of play - Tournament. It has some interesting later levels such as having to fight two opponents in a row but this is to compensate for the fact that there are only two boss enemies.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Blood! This was the non-neutered version of the game. That's gotta count for something, right? Standard fighting tournament settings with a "fighting -in-the-sewers" motif
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
The prerendered graphics have aged poorly. The artwork itself is also uninteresting and grainy. The backgrounds are similarly spartan. Overall not nice to look at.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
The music and sound isn't bad.
Overall Score: 53
