Defenately not the best Mortal Kombat game. Although not pityfully awful like stated in other reviews, the game isn't extremely fun. I spent hours tring to beat the game, and when I finally did I was very diapointed. The graphics weren't bad, at least not too much. The story of the game (isn't great either).

But, it's the link that shows what went on between the Shao Kahn tournaments and Mortal Kombat 4. However, the game plot also contradicts few things to the typical Mortal Kombat legacy. For example, aren't the four elemental gods supposed to be good? Then why are they on the bad guy's side? So in the end, the game is somewhat fun, and long lasting, but is it really worth your money, to me it was, and at times it was, but the final decision is up to you, you decide, I 'll just give you a little advice: don't get it.

Totally horrible game design, play, and graphics. What does this all add up to? An absolutly, totally horrible and terrible game. Do not buy this game at risk of your sanity. You have been warned. (Please, if you must, at least rent it first)

I admit I did put hours into this game being the hugh Mortal Kombat fan that I am. Gosh I'm sure happy this embarrassing MK game didn't ruin Subzero's career. It is a side scroller in which you are faced with many evil monks (oh, and they're all twins for some reason)..Subzero has many power-ups that prove useless. The mega-sized bosses are boring to fight (oh, and they never die for some reason). Due to the fact that the game supplies no level maps (how generic) a strategy guide would be a must, that is if you cared to bother with the game in the first place. Two good things did come about from this MK disaster.. Quan Chi & Shinnok. For Mortal Kombat that is a must see "MK4" or the new "MK Deadly Alliance". Leave this one in the past where it never should have spawned. 2 1/2 stars is as high as I could go. I'm generous.

Oh wow....I remember playing this colossal flaming pile of turd. A friend of mine rented this game from Blockbuster for a couple of days. And I wished we both could have taken back the time we wasted.

They had great ideas for this game: You take Sub Zero from the Mortal Kombat series, use this opportunity to tell people more about his back story and his battle against monks, set it in cool locales and incorporate MK inspired game play and controls in an action adventure, side scroller with light RPG influences. What could possibly go wrong??? How about....EVERYTHING in this game.

First off, Sub Zero walks and controls like a robot. Second, this game uses every button on the controller (you even have a separate button to hit when you want him to face the direction to walk!) Third, you unlock his special moves as you progress through the game and while many use the same directional pad + button combinations in Mortal Kombat, they are 100 times harder to pull off. The bosses are petty damn hard so expect to die a lot. The graphics and sound do their job in setting the mood for the game, while the music is standard MK and kung fu inspired theatrical sounding. The PS1 version features full motion cut-scenes between the stages you fight in while the N64 gets the standard static artwork.

I give it two stars for the cool music and graphics for its time. But that alone will not make a great game. You may be tempted to pick this up if you love Mortal Kombat and the price is right. DON"T DO IT!! This is an example of how Midway had great ideas for this game but executed these great ideas very poorly.

Oh, your not kidding? Well the makers of this game must have been. It's the worst MK ever. Well if you love 2D action, impossible levels, and no multiplayer, I guess this issss the game for you...

I have to admit I bought this game but, i am no idiot because I was an Mk fan. This game is exactly the same to the ps version but lacks better music and the loss of FMV due to N64 memory. Besides the story in this is quite messed up with sub zero if you compared his story in mk 1. Sub zero also is toned down and pathetic from jumping in not so high places to the ground. This is only for Mk "sub-zero" fans. Another thing is that I was able to beat this game but, still it is too hard to be fun ( and no I don't mean challenging hard).

Okay, sure. The graphics may be a little poor and the game play may be a little hard especially because this game is a side-scroller, but this is still I would think the greatest MK ever. This game goes beyond the tournament and the story rules. Mythologies goes back into the past, before the orginal Mortal Kombat. As Sub-Zero, you must find the symbols that represent the elements and defeat totally cool bosses. By far, the best part of the game is the end level, which takes you into the maze of Quan Chi's fortress where you later meet up with him and the original Shinnok. This MK game is a must-have for any Mortal Kombat fan who enjoys MK's dark storylines more than the tournamet fights.

This game is EXTREMELY boring, it has very cheap graphics, andis extremely hard to follow. I would only suggest this game to peoplewho are really, really obsessed with Mortal Kombat or the character Sub-Zero. It has really hard controls and is not fun at all. I would definately rent this game before buying it. END

Whatever you do do not ask for mortal kombat whatever.It stays with superman down in the hall of horrible games.Please get mortal kombat 4,or triogy.Please!

If I could give this game less than one star I would. I got this game off a friend for five bucks. That was the worst five bucks I ever spent. This game is terrible. It is soooooo repeditive, and the story is unbearable when they are in the brutally stupid slide show fashion. The soud is terrible because it souds the same to hit a person as it does to hit a wall. Please don't get this game.
