I've only just got back in to the mortal kombat series after recently buying shaolin monks. After compleing that and remembering all the history there from my childhood, I decided to buy other games in the series. So naturally I went for the all time classic Mortal Kombat 3. Not being much of a pro at mortal kombat and after losing in the game on the 3rd fight (that was my best score d'oh!), I thought it a good idea to opt to buy a strategy book.! This book is fantastic; it has the history of mortal kombat 1 and 2 (incluing special moves, fatatlities, kombos and character bios - what more could you ask for?) It has a great sysytem, in which the author tells you the best way to defeat your opponents using each character (including the hidden cyborg smoke character). It really helped me, even though i'm not what you could consider a kombat pro; I feel much more confident in my tehniques and will endeavour to finally defeat that maniac Shao Kahn mwa ha ha ha!!

The best part of the book is the retrospective on the evolution to this then current 3rd incarnation. Covers the different versions for the vast array of game systems all MKs were on. You know it is a act of love not pure cash in when Street Fighter and Night Trap (the infamous uber censored "hot" game)are mentioned and given screen shots in the first few pages!

first off i liked all of the graphics and pictures in this book. I hate guides that only tell you what to do and leave out a picture (it can make a game more confusing than before). i liked all the fatalities and animalities that they show.And it one of the only sega genesis player guides still on the market. A good buy for anyone i highly recomend it!
