With Mortal Kombat 3 hitting the arcades just a few short months ago there was little doubt that the console versions would be quick to follow. Kahn va quitando toda vida humana, declarando que cada alma le pertenece.Įsta es la trilogía de eventos por la cual Shao Kahn ha tratado de tomar Earhtrealm en sus manos. Usando esto para finalmente tomar Earhtrealm.Ībriendo un portal encima de la Tierra, Shao Kahn lentamente transforma el lugar en una parte del Outworld. Su espíritu vuelve pero no en el Outworld, sino en Earhtrealm.Įste temible acto le da el poder a Shao Kahn de pasar a través de los portales dimensionales y reclamar a su reina. Su nombre era Sindel y su muerte fue inexplicable. Pero Kahn, frustado por las constantes derrotas e intentos perdidos, comenzó un plan que data de 10,000 años atrás.ĭurante este tiempo, Kahn tuvo una reina. Teniendo que enfrentar su ejecución por su fracazo y la aparente muerte de Goro, Shang Tsung convence a Shao Kahn para que le conceda una segunda oportunidad.Įl nuevo plan de Shang Tsung es atraer a sus enemigos para competir en el Outworld, donde ellos se encontarán con su muerte en las manos del propio Shao Kahn. Una vez más es tiempo que el Gran Torneo Shaolin sostenido cada generación por los más grandes luchadores de Earhtrealm se enfrentan contra los adversarios del Outworld. But for those of you getting your pens ready to write in, consider this- if you were deserted on an island with only one game to play, would this be the one? If the answer is yes, you deserve to be deserted on an island.Įn una misteriosa isla, internada en los mares de China y desconocida para el resto del mundo, los guerreros sobrehumanos pelean por el destino de la Tierra.Įl gran Torneo conocido como Mortal Kombat, fue por años una competencia de honor y gloria.Īproximadamente hace mil años, un hechizero llamado Shang Tsung, ingreso al Gran Torneo e inmediatamente lo ganó, convirtiéndose en el Campeón Supremo. Diehard fans will also notice the flaws in this version right away. It's just not original enough (like Tekken) or deep enough (like SF) to warrant space on the casual Genesis gamer's shelf. MK 3 is not a bad game (critics, take note).
The capable controls are the only part of the arcade version that were kept intact. On a sixer, the game does everything it's supposed to do. Good, symphonic music? Nope.Ĭontrol is everything it should be, but forget about using a three-button controller. Lots of punching smacks and groans are mixed in with some unintentionally funny screams (mostly from the male fighters). The dull, washed-out backgrounds still remain true to the arcade's dark flair. The graphics are nowhere near the arcade's quality, but what do you expect from your 16-bit systems? The speedy character sprites lack detail. Ain't got it.įind something constructive to do with your time, like going to programming school so you can come up with something more original than this rehashed fighter. Deep and intricate gameplay as in Street Fighter? Sorry.
Some vets made the cut this time (Sonya and Kano), while others took a hike (Scorpion, Mileena, Baraka, and Kitana). As in the arcade version, you pick from 14 fighters, and of course, there's a bevy of hidden characters and bosses. What's the matter? Couldn't save the planet the first time? What about the second? Shang Tsung is getting to be a real pain, isn't he? Well, now you have your third shot at the Tournament, and if you don't make it this time, you should join the Peace Corps.īest-two-out-of-three matches still rule here. MK fanatics (and we know who you are because we send the FBI your names when you write threatening letters), rejoice! MK 3 is finally here, and it's everything the arcade version was, minus some sound and graphics.
