Mortal Kombat 4
Reviewed by Dyson Turner
This comes as no surprise to me lousy arcade game, lousy N64
game and lousy Playstation game. The only difference here
than with the Arcades is loading time other than that
another good arcade port turned bad because the arcade was
bad to start with it.
Visuals 8. 0/10
The graphics are great and look like an exact arcade
duplicate. The same size and structure, everything is seem
less and flawless. The 3D characters like Rayden and others
look truly great. All and all you can't ask for a better
Arcade to home port than this. It is only out shined by its
Arcade Counter part.
Audio 7. 5/10
The music sounds just as good, if not better than what was
heard at the arcades as well. The high pitched male screams
have been replaced as well, with deeper ones that were found
in the arcade version and the first MK. You still had good
Karate yells, and the brutal hit connection sounds. All in
all the graphical and sound department was pretty good.
Game Play 2. 0/10
This is where all the problems step in, for some reason I
love 3D in other fighting games but on Mortal Kombat it
doesn't look or feel right. The cheap and effective kick has
been replaced by a slower 3D kick found in most fighting
games. Opponents have a quick move to avoid the cheap
projectiles that I used and abused in most MK's . So cheap
one-dimensional players like me had to come up with a new
strategy to play this game. Well I for one will not come up
with a new strategy and I want my old MK back not this new
next gen garbage. Plus on top of this game just being bad
there's loading time, ugh you can't get worst than that. The
difficulty is intermediate and there are Memory Card saves.
Overall 4 out of 10
This game is just bad. The only thing saving this from
getting thrown out the window is that it is indeed a MK. The
graphics and the sound those are the only good points on
this game. The Replay value is particularly low this one has
about as many modes as MK3 did which weren't that many. A
better attempt and more though during the character
selection would have got this over the average hump. Well it
didn't, unless you're a bigger MK fan than I you might like
this, and that's the only people who should get it am. You
probably can still find MKII for PSX floating around its
rare but it's a better game to get than this shame.
