The combo system is intact, the frame rate is intact, but something had to give. (For those who don't know, sorry folks that you are, MK4 was originally an arcade game using truly awesome proprietary 3D hardware.)

In this case, it was the polygon count. Close up, some of these characters are just UGLY. The characters' polygons often clip and sometimes just disappear; fortunately, this only affects the look, not the feel, of the game.

The standard "home version" additions are here -- endurance mode (harkening back to MK1), practice modes with move lists, and Reiko finally has a "real" ending to his storyline. But most people are simply worried about the game's playability and arcade accuracy.

On those fronts, at least, it wins big.

It may be ugly, but it's a lot of fun.

I am quite surprised how many people thought this game wasn't any good. Mortal Kombat 4 is a more than worthy sequel. First off, the story, like all the other Mortal Kombat games, movies and TV shows, is incredible. If you saw many of the characters ending form Ultimate Mortal Kombat, then you'll have an idea what I am talking about. All their stories have a great lead up to MK4. In the fourth installation, Noob Saibot's master Shinnok takes his gamble at Earth Realm. However, we also learn about the truth behind Sub-Zero and Scorpion's hate for each other and the sorcerer who put them up to it!!!

This game introduces some really cool characters (like Quan Chi) and also some old characters return (like Johnny Cage). The fighting game has the usual classical engine, except now it is 3D. You can, for example, side shift to avoid Scorpion's spear!! Weapons were also introduced and everyone has got some ill weapons, especially Fujin!! You can also throw objects lying around at your opponent. The combo system is pretty good, nothing near as good to the fifth installation of Mortal Kombat though. The endings, until the previous Mortal Kombat's, are full videos and EXTREMELY AWESOME!! There's a lot of game replay here by beating the game with different fighters. You learn a lot about the tournament's secrets and who's got beef with whom.

This game is worth getting for ANY fan of a great fighting game. Too many people are extremely critical of the Mortal Kombat franchise and WAY too kind to others (Soul Caliber, Tekken - need I say more about these crappy fighting games). Mortal Kombat kreators really go out of their way for the fans to make their games unique and loads of fun, so don't pass up on Mortal Kombat 4!!!!!!!!!!

It is the best game for your playstation consol ever.It is better then a ($) game.Everyone in the world would probly like it.

This is a great game from my point of view. This game is best to play against a friend, but still is good to play against the computer because of the games hard diffuculty, and the great movie you get to see with the characther you beat the game with. It has great graphics and good playing options, like you can do a tournament or two on two mode, and others such as practice mode where u can find out all your characthers moves and fatalities.I don't think this game has any weak points which makes it 5 rated game. it's fun, intense, hard, and smart.

this is the best game of the Mortal Combat Series. You must buy it you will love it!!!!!

Mortal Kombat 4 is one of the best games I've ever played. The sounds are great. The fun factor off the wall! Mortal Kombat 4 is great because it has easy to master moves and the whole weapon idea is awesome. The fatalities are true Mortal Kombat style. Being a longtime MK fan I think that MK4 is the best yet. It combines all of the goodpoints from other Mortal Kombat games into a single great game. A must play game for all Mortal Kombat fans.

mortal kombat its a cool fighting game i love doing scorpions spear into a throw or combo although subzeros ice can beat it

The Cd is almost new, I was playing with the game for a big time, I recommend this cd game, this was one of first games designed in third dimmension.
Huge Game, Thanks Sony.

This is the first MK game in 3D. It features a tournament mode in which it's like a real tournament, that you can control.

Pros:
*15 Playable charactors, many are new
*Many cheat codes that are really cool

Cons:
*The 3D isn't that impressive
*The graphics aren't very good while fighting
*Very hard

Story:
After Shao Kahn was defeated, Shinnok escapes the Netherrealm to take over the world. You must stop him at all cost.
