So much potential but nothing was executed well 0
If I was to ask anyone whos reading this review what they thought of the original Mortal Kombat most of you if not all of you would say that its just an amazing game with good fighting mechanics, good digitized graphics, sound, and would say that the gore is...well just great in a not psychotic way.Game Play: 1.5When you pop this game into the Game Boy you may be shocked to see how it plays, just so bad that its actually hard to classify this Mortal Kombat game as a fighting game. Sure this is t...

The Sega CD got a rock solid port of Mortal Kombat 0
I just want to say from the very beginning that I'm going to compare the Sega CD version to the Genesis version so if your looking for a absolutely full review then I suggest reading my review of the Sega CD version and reading a detailed review that someone else made of the Genesis version.Game play: 4The Sega CD port of Mortal Kombat is pretty straight forward so things that didn't need changing didn't get changed. So since the game play of the Genesis version was a lot more true to the arcade...

Mortal Kombat is very bloody and very fun 0
Mortal Kombat is like your typical fighting game, where you go one on one until the timer runs out or the first person to have their health drained. Your attacks are punch, kick, and you can execute special moves for each character by doing a button combination, and/or a sweep of the d pad. On single player you pick your character and go through a battle tower fighting opponents until you reach the top, which can be pretty difficult. Then you verse Goro the only boss in the game, who is fairly...

FIGHTǃ FATALITY! 0
The first installment in the Mortal Kombat series takes place on a fictional island in Earthrealm, where a tournament is being held at Shang Tsung's Island, on which seven of its locations serve as stages in the game. The introduction to Mortal Kombat II explains that Shang Tsung was banished to Earthrealm 500 years ago and, with the help of the monstrous Goro, is able to seize control of the Mortal Kombat tournament in an attempt to doom the realm. For 500 years straight, Goro has been undefeat...

Here goes Johnny again! 0
Since then, Mortal Kombat has been ported into several platforms, such as the Super Nintendo, the Sega Genesis, the Game Gear and the Game Boy, which this article covers. It was developed by Probe Entertainment and released in September 1993 by Acclaim Entertainment.It has delayed and confusing controls. It takes one or two seconds for an attack to respond after pressing a button. It also doesn't really help that the Game Boy has the same amount of buttons as an NES controller.Terrible hit detec...

Get over here you inferior, sweaty port! 0
Due to its success, Mortal Kombat received ports to several platforms and even spawned a franchise. The game was ported to the Super Nintendo on September 10, 1993 by Sculptured Software and Acclaim, which this article will cover.While the original game sparked controversy for its amount of violence, the SNES port sparked its own controversy for its heavy censorship. This version heavily damaged the Super Nintendo's reputation and even decreased its sales, in contrast to the Genesis port. The po...

They weren't joking when they said, "Finish HIM!" 0
A sorcerer by the name of Shang Tsung along with a four-armed half-man, half-dragon beast named Goro, seized and conquered a tournament called Mortal Kombat by defeating the champion Kung Lao. Tsung hosts another tournament and 7 fighters with their own goals enter. -summaryThe 90's are indeed memorable to me entertainment-wise for several reasons. One reason I can look back fondly on them would be the evolution of video games, in this case, the one on one fighter. Long story short, the fighting...
