Hello everyone! This is MitsuriZX, and after my long, painful hiatus, i'm finally back to tell you all about one of the greatest fighting game of all times... Mortal Kombat! And this time, we're talking about the expansion to Mortal Kombat 3, ULTIMATE Mortal Kombat 3!
Lucas and Luisa are on vacation, so it's up to me to review this game! Let's do it!
At first, when you look at Mortal Kombat III, it just seems like a regular fighting game with it's trends and whatnot, but after the release of ULTIMATE Mortal Kombat 3, sales did rise through the roof, and that's because that game is the ULTIMATE Mortal Kombat expansion! Expect lots of characters, stages, and new moves!
The objective of each fight is to empty your opponent's life bar by delivering punches, kicks, pokes to the eye, knees to the groin, and so on. What makes Mortal Kombat a different game is that specials can and MUST be spammed as much as possible (in a strategic way, of course) so that your victory becomes easier. Almost all characters play the same when it comes to normal moves, but each one has different combos and special moves.
When your opponent's life bar has reached 0, that's when you'll be asked to "finish him/her!", and here comes the most interesting part of Mortal Kombat games, the Fatalities. They are gruesome, full-carnage finishers which completely obliterates anyone in your way in the most humiliating of ways. They're not easy to perform, but it sure is fun to see someone getting crushed by a giant arcade machine.
But this game goes much far than just Fatalities, you also have Brutalities, Animalities, Babality, and Friendship... Friendship, again? Well, sometimes you're just not up to so much violence... so you can also finish your opponent in the most hilarious of ways! Of course, it goes without saying that these are unavoidable once you have your health bar beat to a bloody pulp, so be sure you're the one "finishing" and not the "finished" one!
And then comes the learning spike... oh boy... this game is unbelivably hard. Even on easier difficulties, you WILL lose, no matter how good you think you are. I'd go as far as saying unfair, especially on opponents like Jade and Motaro, their CPU is unforgiving. Even the smallest of mistakes can turn the tide of battle, so be on your toes!
And there are also the inumerous cheats you can use, and they make the game much, MUCH funnier! Since the Singleplayer mode is so broken, why not try Multiplayer? It's probably the default choice for players, no one wants to play agaisn't invincible CPUs! Besides, it's much more fun to play with friends. Cheats + Friends = Complete Mayhem.
I'd recommend ULTIMATE Mortal Kombat III for everyone, but i can't do that. You better have some memorization skills and some hardcore friends, these moves are hard to execute, but once you get the gist of everything, it's fun until you can't take it anymore! Hello everyone!
