this is a mk fanatic's dream come true. i've been a rabid fan since playing mk2 in arcades back in '94, and i'd always fantasized about a mk adventure game where you could fight people like in the game, but on a much GRANDER scale. somehow, midway heard my thoughts ~.O and BAM! one of the most addictive games of all time.
ALL my favorites are here (except rain), but since they put ERMAC in here, i'll let it slide.
from the start, you can play as either lui kang or kung lao. the game takes place between mk1 and mk3 i believe (seeing as how you ... i won't spoil the surprises *coughcoughGOROcoughcoughKABALcough*) loads of weapons and new moves and fatalities to learn. YOU HEARD RIGHT! the more people you kill, the more experience points you gain, and the experience points can be used as money to purchase new combo abilities & special moves. in all, i believe there are about nine fatalities (not counting stage fatalities.. ohhhhh the stage fatalitiesssss)
you'll be travelling alllll over the place, from reptiles abode to scorpions lair, to a secret temple with the big E to tha R-M-A-C. lots of weapons to pick up, places to explore, secrets to unlock, a kick-ass two player mode, tournament mode, and a deeper look into the mortal kombat storyline. scorpion & sub zero are unlockable as playable characters, so once you get them you can fight through the game as them! this game has a lot of replay value. the controls are precise, easy to learn & simple.
you'll see LOTS of familiar faces in here, from rayden to ermac... the gangs all here. those floating priest dudes from mk2? they're here. goro? he's here. you're gonna see lots of familiar places too. and what's awesome is seeing how they all fit together! there's also an unlockable mortal kombat 2! just be sure to have some extra controllers handy. my friend broke his controller he got so pissed at the last boss(es). it took probably 60 tries, no exageration.
i don't wanna give away any of the secrets or surprises, so i'll just say if you're a mk fan, this is a MUST HAVE. if you're into fighting games, this is a MUST HAVE. if you're into action/adventure games, this is a MUST HAVE! pick this up at all costs. you will not be disappointed. TWO BONGS UP!
