Today I am going to be critiquing and reviewing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. So let's finish this and get started. 

Story: 8
After, Shao Khan's defeat by the Earth warriors in the second tournament he is enraged. Khan decides to invade the Earth as a result he takes a lot of souls. In addition, Khan also resurrects some of his dead soldiers that have been dead for over 10,000 years.  Raiden chooses Earth's finest warriors to battle Khan and his troops in the next tournament. The fate of the Earth will  be fought over in the next tournament. 

Okay, most fighting games do not have much of a plot. However, I thought this was a decent plot overall. It explains the story leading up to the tournament. It, is your standard plot as you have good vs evil in this game. I even thought it was funny how Khan resurrected his dead soldiers, who have been dead for a very long time. Does Khan ever age in these games? Anyway back to the story. I think the story is very simple and overall good. Thus, I give the story a good solid rating of 8 out of 10. 

Graphics: 9 
The graphics in this game were very good. The stages look very nice and some even look creepy to fit their theme. The city backgrounds look like an actual city. The sprints for the most part were very good. The fighters look very good and their sprints are not out of whack. The only problem I have with the graphics are the controls. The controls on some of the fighters can be sluggish at times. I do not know if the makers made them that way to show that certain fighters or slower than others or what? Me personally, I find it to be very annoying especially while trying to do special moves. Moreover, there were no major lags in this game. Thus, I give the graphics a solid 9 out of 10 rating. I would have given it a 10 had it not been for the sluggish controls. 

Sound: 10
Ultimate Mortal Kombat, really shines on its sound. The stages' music themes are nicely done. I have found a lot of them have a creepy feel to them. A lot of stages in this game look like they are in the dungeons, and one stage looks like the world of fire. 

The character's sounds are also nicely done. The fighter, that the player chooses will moan and groan while getting hit. If a fighter has a fatality done on them then he or she will scream. The screaming, moaning and groaning sound so real in this game. In fact, it really sounds like a real person, who is in pain. So, the makers of this game really knew what they were doing by giving the fighter's sounds. Also the special moves have an awesome sound. Lightening bolts sound like an actual thunder storm, fireballs have a burning sound to them, and ice moves sounds like ice cracking on a winter day. I really liked the sound of this game. I like the music because it fits the stage's nicely. The character sounds are very nice and sound real as I mentioned. Thus, I give the sound to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 a perfect rating. 

Addictiveness & Depth 7 
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is one of my favorite Mortal Kombat games. The others are Trilogy and Mortal Kombat II. I sometimes play this game when I just want to take a break from Mega Man or Mario games. I liked this game better than I did Mortal Kombat 3. 

The depth of this game is also pretty decent. I like how you have a choice of several fighters. Some of the fighters appeared in the second game, but not the third. I want to think there is away to unlock some extra fighters in this game, but I have not been able to do that yet. Moreover, it is often fun to pick a different fighter for each play through of this game. I also like how you can chose your difficulty levels. So, many times I pick different difficulty levels. At, the end of the day I give the addictiveness and depth rating a 7 out of 10. Ultimate Mortal Kombat does have some depth to it. However, this is a fighting game so there are no items to collect. In addition, there are no power ups in this game either. 

Difficulty: 6
I had a hard time rating this game for its difficulty. The main reason is the player can chose their difficulty. Basically, to sum up the words of Khan "chose your destiny". If you chose an easier path the game is much easier. On some of the easier levels, opponents do not hurt as much compared to the harder levels. If you chose a harder path than you are asking yourself for pain. The harder levels have a lot going on in them. The fighters are much faster on harder modes. Also, the fighter's attacks hurt more. In addition, you have to do a gauntlet match. So yeah, the difficulty rating really varies depending on what path you chose. I felt like it did not deserve a higher rating than 6 because you can chose your path. If you chose an easier mode than the rating is probably a 4 out of 10. If you chose a harder mode than that is a rating of 10 out of 10.  What also factored in my rating was this is a fighting game. There, are no stages with items to collect or anything like that. 

Overall: 8.6 
As I stated this is one of my favorite Motal Kombat games. I rank this one behind Trilogy and the second game. Those two games are my favorites because of the characters you can play as. Trilogy had all the characters from I to III in it. Ultimate Kombat has some of those characters but some of them you cannot play as. Also Trilogy had a mix up of all the scenes from the first three games. Ultimate just has scenes from the third game. I like Ultimate's graphics though it really showed that the Super Nintendo was capable of. In fact, the graphics just look as good as Trilogy's graphics. I find that remarkable considering this game was on a 16 bit system and Trilogy was not. I also like the sound of this game. The sounds of this game carried over into Trilogy, which was very nice.  Also the fighters have different stories. As I mentioned in the depth section it is fun to play as different fighters. I personally like to play as: Sub Zero, Reptile, Smoke, Cyrax, and Scorpion. I have heard another one of my favorites Rain is also in this game. But, if Rain is in this game I have not found a way to unlock him. 

Would I recommend this game? If you liked Mortal Kombat II and wished the third game had II's characters than yes I would recommend this game. In addition, I would recommend this game to anybody that is a fan of the Mortal Kombat series. But just beware that the controls may feel a bit sluggish. I got this game a year after it had been out because I had heard it was like Trilogy for the 16 bit systems. I did not have a Play Station yet so I bought this game. It was a good game. If you have Trilogy than your pretty much playing the same game basically. Here is another thing to beware of. Mortal Kombat has a lot of gore in so if that bothers you than you might want to play another fighting game. At the end of the day I give this game a rating of 8.60
