Editorial Review

With fighters engaging in martial arts/supernatural combat to the death, the tournament known as Mortal Kombat rages on in this installment of the ultraviolent series. In addition to requisite sequel enhancements such as new moves with which to disembowel your opponent, the two-dimensional graphics of earlier games have been expanded into 3-D. Now rendered in polygons, the characters move as fluidly as when they were digitized footage of live actors, and the previously cramped arenas have been greatly opened up and are more eerie than ever.

An excellent conversion of the arcade game, the Nintendo 64 version is sure to delight Mortal Kombat 4 junkies. In addition to near-arcade quality graphics, unbelievably rich sound, and responsive controls, there are plenty of never-before-seen extras that rabid fans are sure to eat up.

However, those less enthusiastic should pass on Mortal Kombat 4. The gameplay is virtually identical to the 1992 original, and feels hopelessly dated when compared with other fighting games that have gone on to evolve, while Midway has remained content churning out the same old Mortal Kombat. --Joe Hon

Pros:

• Excellent conversion of the arcade game
• Includes never-before-seen extras

Cons:

• Parents may object to the violent content
• Limited appeal outside of Mortal Kombat fans

5.0 out of 5 stars A new and better kind of Mortal Kombat, November 6, 2000

This review is from: Mortal Kombat 4 (Game Cartridge)

After being a major fan of the Mortal Kombat series for years, I didn't think that Mortal Kombat could get any better, but I was wrong and this game proved it! You have 15 characters to choose from, most of them new. A lot of the most popular characters such as Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Liu Kang, Sonya, and Rayden are back in this sequel along with many new faces such as Quan Chi, Reiko, Tanya, Kai, and many others.

Mortal Kombat 4 definitely has the best graphics of any of the Mortal Kombat games ever made. If you've played the arcade version before, then you'll notice that the Nintendo 64 version is almost identical to it. The controls are perfect, the sounds are just as clear and mystical as the arcade version, and it's a lot of fun. What really makes Mortal Kombat 4 the best Mortal Kombat game so far is that there are new and better ways of fighting. There are boulders you can pick up and throw at your opponent, every character has a secret weapon that they can draw out such as swords and spiked balls, and finally, there are some different and more exciting kinds of moves such as neck breakers, leg breakers, etc. In this sequel, Goro returns as the villain you'll have to face before getting to the main boss, Shannok. When you finally beat the game, each character has an ending that plays just like a miniature movie. Mortal Kombat 4 also has some awesome fatalities, even better than the fatalities that made the other Mortal Kombat games famous.

There are also many modes of play, you can play 1 or 2 player, there's a Mortal Kombat Tournament mode, and many other modes of play. Not to mention that there are secret codes that will enable you to see each character's ending, to get Goro as a fighter, etc.

If you're a Mortal Kombat fan, I definitely recommend getting Mortal Kombat 4 and experience a new and better kind of Mortal Kombat.

This review is from: Mortal Kombat 4 (Game Cartridge)

This game is great! It is one of the best fighting games I've ever played; on N64 or in the arcades. The play control is good, the fighters move quickly and smoothly, and there is no slow down! This game is also really fun. Most of the characters are from the first three Mortal Kombats, like Scorpion and Sub-Zero, along with new characters like Shinok and Quan-Chi. I recommend this game for any fan of fighting games.
