    The gameplay, the one thing that stood out most about the Mortal Kombat series, is flawed. I played with all of my favorites -- both Sub-Zeros, Kabal, Cyrax, Ermac, Sindel and Scorpion. Of those seven characters, six of them did not function properly at all.

    Has the feel of a hasty port, which is par for the course with Mortal Kombat games these days. But fun for a short while. [Summer 2003, p.30]

    Oh my god. I thought the Game.com version of Mortal Kombat was bad. That can't hold a torch to this log.

    A game that shatters expectations, but in the worst conceivable manner. What we have here is a game so awful that it truly is in a class all by itself. It's just mind boggling how bad this game is.

    It doesn't help that the AI is ludicrously tough, and as cheap as possible. The AI can pull off moves that the gamer couldn't possibly do as fast.

    If a circus train wreck was ever more accurately embodied in digital format, I haven't seen it...It's a steaming pile of bloody dog krap. [Mar 2002, p.146]

No soy fan de Mortal Kombat pero diré lo que tenga que decir. La plantilla de personajes es increíblemente amplia, la música y los gráficos no están mal. Ahora bien, hay bastantes problemas con la IA, el juego no guarda partidas y puede llegar a volverse repetitivo, ademas de carecer de mas contenido que poseía la versión de SNES así como mas modos de juego. El multijugador es muy divertido, pero tiene fallos, ya que se suele cortar. Pudo haber sido un buen port, pero las limitaciones técnicas le jugaron en contra. Así como esta no lo recomiendo, salvo por el multijugador.… Expand

    This is worst port of UMK3! Slow gameplay. Bad graphics. Strange soundtracks.
