Manufacturer Description

Product Description

The game that rocked the world and changed arcade-style fighting forever returns in hand-held splendor. Choose from eight unique characters (some familiar faces have returned from the original, but a few new combatants make for spiced-up action), as you try to pummel your computer-controlled opponents to death. Each character has special moves that only he or she can pull off, making the game full of plenty of surprises and blood. As with the original, whichever character wins the battle gets the opportunity to complete a Fatality, which is every bit as violent as it sounds. There's a reason that this game was so overwhelmingly popular, and the cold-blooded, hand-to-hand combat is as fun today as it was when it first came out.

1.0 out of 5 stars so bad it makes my unborn children hurt, May 18, 2007

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

Well, here it is guys: the WORST Mortal Kombat game of all-time. Yup, the honor goes to the Game Boy version of Mortal Kombat II.

I bought this game when it first came out because I was stupidly riding on the success of the Mortal Kombat series at the time. I was very naive (all my friends were right!)

Time hasn't been kind to this game, but who am I kidding? Time wasn't kind to this game the day it came out because it was an absolute piece of plastic trash then, and it's trash now. It will forever remain trash. It's so trashy, the trashman won't even take it. He says it stinks too much, and it's not worth the risk of potentially sniffing the horrible odor *just* to put the game in the back of his truck. Even if he were to wear the thickest pair of gloves in the world, he doesn't want to risk the smell remaining on his skin permanently.

So why am I bashing the game so hard? Because you get fewer fighters, fewer levels, HORRIBLE black and white graphics, and the worst part- an extremely slow framerate. The blood doesn't even exist. Okay there's blood, but watching it on a hard-to-see black and white screen, would you even call that blood? No, you wouldn't (and shouldn't).

I would rather have a job being a janitor in an elementary school and having to clean up barf on the cafeteria floors every day, than play the Game Boy version of Mortal Kombat II ever again. It's really that bad. At least then, you can swirl the puke around with a mop and have some fun.

For the love of God and all his wonderful adorable Earthly creatures- DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! Just when I thought the Mortal Kombat series couldn't get any crappier, it happened.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ugh. Why the Game Boy?, July 18, 2002

This game is horrid! The graphics and the framerate are too choppy! The sound's okay (sound effect wise), but MKII was never known for it's music. The control is absolutely horrid; there aren't enough buttons on the Game Boy and special moves are nearly impossible to pull off (much less FATALITIES, as there's only one per character).

But the worst of it all happens to be the gameplay. Seriously, I beat this game in half an hour! And when did blood ever become an ink error?

Not worth the price. I suggest that you should dust off your Super NES and buy that version. Avoid Mortal Kombat II on the Game Boy at all costs. The only thing worse than this is the Game Boy port of Mortal Kombat 3.

This is 1 of the best, if not THE best portable Mortal Kombat game ever! The graphics are great, the gameplay's very fast paced, the music's cool and the controls are very responsive. The fatalities are really cool and there's a stage fatality in a game, which can only happen in the Kombat Tomb level. You can also fight Jade and Smoke as well, but you need to do certian things in order to fight them. There's also a babality, but I haven't figured out on how to do that yet. It's such a huge improvement over MK1 on Game Boy. If you're a MK fan, I highly recommend this game cause it's definately 1 of my favorites.
