Mortal Kombat for Genesis
Review #4361
Mortal Kombat
Moral Kombat
Gameplay
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
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
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
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
The music and sound isn't bad.
