Newcomers will love it and old school die-hards will never settle for anything less again! Supurb graphics, the maximum choice of characters. (even multiple versions of the same character since they changed them between versions)

Mortal Kombat Trilogy was a great game. It, obviously compiles all of the first three MK games in one package and it's made even better with the one button fatalities, animalities, babalities, brutalities, and the friendships. I heard also, that you can also, for the first time play as my favorite charactar, Shao Kahn. The only problem, I feel I must warn you is that the game is as hard as Hell. This is pretty much the only problem with the 2D Mortal Kombat games. So, if you're in for a challange and you are a Mortal Kombat fan like I am, you might want to pick this up.

Before there was Tekken and Soul Blade and the rest of the current fighters there was Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat was easily the best in terms of richness of the game. The characters moved fluidly, the voices were understandable, and there was blood. The series progressed nicely with great additions and secrets added every step of the way.

This title is a great, nostalgic look back at those times. Being able not only to play any of the characters from the first 3 games, but also as their different incarnations is huge. When the Genesis/Super Nintendo became obsolete I feared the loss of these games. But with their release on Playstation, especially in this title, I am happy. The game play is great and packed full of surprises. As far as 2D fighting games goes, this is the best and is better than many first generation 3D fighters. If you liked this in the arcade, you'll like it here. Granted, it has the usual translation problems with the buttons in the wrong places and more difficulty moving the stick, but you get those problems with any console game.

This game rocks! I remember all the Mortal Kombat fighting games in arcades when I was in junior high. They were so awesome, the blood and those finishing moves are so cool! Then recently, I saw the Mortal Kombat movies on TV for the first time! They were so funny yet cool and brought back a lot of memories and got me all nostalgic. I decided I had to get this game. Then I realized that this game was out in 1996! That's 5 years ago! I searched all online stores but none have them and I dont want used ones either because they dont have the orginal cover and instruction. Then I called many stores trying to find this game but failed. So I gave up.... Then a month later I went back to this game shop that I previously checked and they had a used mint condition Mortal Kombat Trilogy with everything! I was excited and bought it immeditaly. (...) This game was so difficult to acquire but I guess I got lucky. If you can find this game then buy it for sures, period.

This game has it's good points and it's bad points. If you are a die-hard MK fan, chances are that you already own (or have owned) this game. The good points include the wide range of characters. This game has every single MK character to date, including "classic" version of some of the characters. Many of the characters have new ending, and some of them also have new moves. The combo system and MK-style fighting engine are both intact, and you can even play as the bosses, plus there is a secret character (Khameleon) to unlock. There is also the all-new "Brutality" finishes and the "Aggressor" mode. And, of course the unlockable "?" game options.

But there are the bad points, too. First of all, although you can play as the bosses, there is really no reason to do so since none of them have endings. And the gameplay difficult seems to be much too hard even on the easiest level. The game almost seems psychic in countering any move you try. Pure luck and a Gameshark are about the only way you will get through this game. And with the return of one of my favorite fighters, Johnny Cage, comes complete with two moves missing. If you think the good outweighs the bad, then get this game. But if you like MK the old way, which is to say one that actually fights fair, then I do not recommend this one.

I'm almost certain most people looking at this product have played it at least once in their life, like me. I had almost forgotten about the mortal kombat franchise until my girlfriend bought me MK: Armageddon for PS2. IT SUCKS! I started remembering my past experiences with the mortal kombat series and I remembered trilogy as my favorite one, so I decided to buy it. THERE IS NO COMPARISON! The newer, 3D versions of mortal kombat are total "krap" compared to the 2D releases. MK: Trilogy is the most fun you could have playing a video game. My favorite part of the game is the sound the mk ninjas (scorpion, reptile, sub zero, noob, smoke, etc) make when you hit them. That classic "OOOOHH!" sound really adds to the mood. I't might sound strange, but once you experience it for yourself you'll understand.

MKT is really a great game! It takes all of the best features from MK1-3 and translates them flawlessly onto the Playstation platform. This allows die-hard fans like me to play it without the Sega or SNES. However there are two glitches that kind of bother me. One is the fatalities. Sub-Zero's old rip of the head is cut out, and there is no ice grenade to name a few problems. The second is the difficulty level. No matter if you chose Easy and Novice for the tournament, the computer will tear you up in less than 30 seconds once you get up toward the end of the latter! Even if you are Kintaro, Shao Kahn will destroy you. I still haven't beat it. Other than that for [price], it is definently worth it. :)

MKT is all of the charactors from MK 1,2 and 3 with 3's story. If you like the old school games, you'll love this one.

Pros:
*Features over 30 charactors.
*Has many fun codes and cheats.

Cons:
*Very outdated graphics(that's a given).
*Very, VERY hard to beat.
*No secret charactors to unlock.

This game is great. All three original MK games bundled into one, plus more! It provides a great leadup to MK4, and bridges the gap between the old 16 bit MK games and the CD and DVD MK games of today!

The game works well and yet I did have trouble getting my product on tme but the carrier was generous enough to ensure me thaqt I would get it soon . The game works well enough to play every once in awhie it might freeze here and there but thats kinda rare so overall they did a pretty good job.
