mortal kombat 2 mega drive SuperCrash64
Graphics it lacks alot of detail in stages like the kombat tomb and such making it seem like its a beta port wating for the finshing details it never got and it kind of ridiculous compared to mortal kombat 3 on the system
Sounds there are hardly any sound effects but like the original mortal kombat for the genesis it has a nice custom genesis soundtrack
Addictiveness the tiny sound makes the game seem hallow but its smoothness it what keeps it fun today
Story there is no story or text in this port
depth the game is very challenging even if you have it on the easiest difficulty its still gets challenging and has some very neat eastereggs
and as usual has the hidden characters
Difficulty the game is very hard to beat especially if your a beginner if you set on the easiest its still pretty hard however it does have
a kredits option where you can have up to 30 credits
Overall its far from perfect but its fun and its alright probe software could have done a better job though

Mortal Kombat 2 review Yona_db
Sound:
Pretty good, I love the music you listen to when you're moving through the characters. only problem I have is that idiot Dan Forden,when he appears, screaming TOASTY! not because it appears that, when he says that it seems that
Dan Forden is gay?
.
Story:
The same as before. A great evil, Shao Kahn, is hosting a
Mortal Kombat tournament called to take over the
Earth and the Outworld. You should choose a fighter, driving
to victory, defeating every character ,blah blah blah.
Difficulty:
Very easy Very easy, medium in medium, hard
on Hard and Very Hard to Very Hard. That is basically
all I can say is that it presents the difficulty
a challenge every time, but not like other games that is
as impossible, simply can not be overcome without cheat codes
or be a major player. And unlike other games
where he was defeated in five minutes,
although very easy game on each fighter that defeated, but the difficulty is increased.

Mortal Kombat! MechaMento
Hello readers of the many! I am MechaMento, incase you did not know, and today I will be giving my opinions and criticism towards the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) port of Mortal Kombat II. I hope you enjoy reading this and be sure to leave the odd reply to tell me what went well what did not. After this paragraph ends the real review starts. So Stop playing Pokemon, Turn off your music and engage your eyes as we step into the wonderful world of Mortal Kombat II.Why I Played This GameI was browsing through youtube, watching this channel that works for Machinima called Top Ten for the win. As you may suspect they made a lot of top tens, by a lot I mean every single video of theirs is a top ten! As a stereotypical young lad at the age of 10 I was into blood, violence and various other gorey things. So when I saw a video on that channel called Top Ten Goriest Video Games of all Time, I clicked on it with little thought. Most of the games that came up, like gears of war and ninja gaiden, I was not very interested in so it took me up to number two in the list which was Mortal Kombat to find a game I would want to play. After going on another youtube spree watching all of the Mortal Kombat 9 fatalities (and throwing up after watching every single one) I tried to find out if there was a site where I could play some of the older games on. You may be thinking I just went a long and found vizzed, bla bla bla, but no. I never found a secure site to play one on so I just brought Mortal Kombat the Arcade Collect over Xbox Live Arcade and absolutely loved it! About two or three years after buying it on the Xbox I came across Vizzed, from that I found you could play all of the retro classics and that brought me here!GraphicsThe Mortal Kombat developers took a different approach to their character designs to most other mainstream companies. The characters can be described as hyper-realistic since they look like humans, but they are in the game. A game from over 10 years back meaning there were no character models that look like humans like the well design Tom Lasky in Halo 4, so there was almost something revolutionary about this. The developers must of taken pictures of people well dressed as the game's cast. They must of taken a rather lot since the animations are generally smooth. The game does look kind of strange when reptile removes his mask for the player only to find his head is a lizard. The lizard head is certainly not hyper realistic like the rest of the character so it does not suit it and that is where the game went downhill in terms of graphics. As for the background and battle grounds, they were well designed too and they suit the game and in some ways make the game feel more rough like it is supposed to. I think the acid on the first stage you will come across was very well made also the bridge stage looks rather epic in its own ways. If you compare the effort for this to the effort put towards making other Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) games, I think all of the graphic workers at the Mortal Kombat II team work really hard and really well to get a decent end product like this one.SoundThe general game sound is not quite up as the graphics are. Most of the sound effects are distorted and in some cases you can not make them out as normal sound, they just come out as bits a of faint squeaking. That only happens to certain characters on certain stages, this only happens because of the similar pitch frequencies. I can understand this happening, because I make electronic music and if you have too much gain on one track it can ruin the rest of the song. Though this is an easy mistake to make I think the music and sound developers at the Mortal Kombat II team should of been just the slightest bit more careful since Mortal Kombat was a massive title back then so a sequel must be treated well and put up to the standard making the hit Mortal Kombat I.StoryI was actually rather to find there was an actual story made for a fighting game, especially a fighting game like Mortal Kombat. However there is one and there is no point making a review without mentioning it in the slightest possible way or form. The story itself is as expected not very good. Shao Khan is attacking the Earth for universe domination but ,the God / Superhuman, Raiden is not the happiest with his plans. They eventually settle on an agreement that they will set up a fighting tournament and the winner will fight Shao Khan, if he is defeated, that is the end of him and the game ends. So all in all the story is very short, but I am not sure they even needed to waist their time creating one because let us be honest, that story is just pure crap. An arcade game does not need a story, it just needs to be addictive and serve it's purpose.Addictiveness, Depth and DifficultySince Mortal Kombat II is an arcade game, it has to be addictive. The producers, publishers and the rest of Mortal Kombat team want to be rolling in the 20p (around 50 cent) coins or in this case the full price for the home console port. When you start you can not stop applies for a long time with a game with not much depth other than mashing all the buttons. This is rare really for a beat them up, I never felt the same way towards Super Street Fighter 2 but they are very different types of fighter. Mortal Kombat has a certain hyper-realistic kick to it that really sets the violent mood of the game. I am yet to play a game that has mimicked the game well enough to have me satisfied. Ever though you think your are doing well because it is so realistic, your are not because the game is pure easy. The Sega Mega Drive 3 button system makes the game much easier than the SNES port. Special moves and fatalities are easier to execute, the block button was removed so the Ai will never troll you by blocking. It is the Mortal Kombat game built for first timers and Noobs.Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I know the Tour de Vizzed is on going so it is unlikely there will be many users that will actually stop posting and start reading. So if you did read I certainly thank you. Be sure to leave the odd tip, compliment or if you are feeling grumpy today, criticism. ~MechaMento, Hit over 1000 words!!

Easiest Version RcKl3ssGamingHD
This is by far the easiest version of Mortal Kombat II, mainly because you use a 3 button controller making combos and special attacks, including fatalities, much easier. I've only had difficulty on the bosses of the game and hidden characters (smoke, Jade and noob saibot). Unlike the more difficult Snes port of this video game, the genesis edition of this game contains more Easter eggs and is less serious and makes you laugh. This makes the game a lot more playable and really gets you chuckling at how when you uppercut someone the sound director from the game producers pops up and says "toasty!". And of course, the hours I laughed in confusion when I did the Fergiallity with Raiden. (I think I was a bit scared of it at the same time!!)
