Mortal Kombat Trilogy has been released on PC, Playstation and Nintendo 64. The characters in the game (a total of 36 (4 classic), playable and 1 secret, on pc) are from the first three games and a number of new characters (the amount of characters is certainly the strong point of this game). The sorylines of the new characters is just as great as the old ones and the storylines of the old characters matches the storylines of Mortal Kombat 3. The overall storyline is is also taken from MK3.
The playability of the characters is about just as good as in MK3. The speed of the game however is a bit faster then in MK3 which causes the game to get a little chaotic sometimes. The player of the game has again much more freedom in the game then in the past games, MK1 and MK2, which also makes the game better to play. The moves of the characters are also slighly better then in these games. (but again I think friendship and babalities are not so great, it can ruin the MK-atmosphere. And also the agressor mode seems a little useless to me). The brutalities and animalities however are great for finishing the opponent in MK-style. The four attack possibilities (High punch, Low punch, High kick and Low kick) are still the same as in the first two games, however the characters can now run which improves the game-play greatly and adds whole new tactic possibilities to the game. As for the difficulties in the game, they are balanced out worse then in the past games. Because of this the game might get irritating sometimes for beginning MKT-players. The graphics of the game are again great and are good for the MK-atmosphere in the game. Not only the characters, which still are great (and different from each other), but also the backgrounds are once again very good. The sounds in the game, just like in the second game, is great.
Overall, it can be said that the game is a fine successor from the second game. But many still find Mortal Kombat 2 the best Mortal Kombat game ever released. |
