![]() ![]() For a game that many are quick to complain is impossible to ever get good at, there are a surprising number of people out there that know characters well enough to do horrible things to the less educated Kombatant. It's easy enough to laugh at Mortal Kombat but in multiplayer, it's just as easy to laugh with its kitsch charms and ridiculous violence. Violence by numbers, decor by BHS.īring in a second player, though, and the playing field is levelled to make for a far more entertaining experience. And as you climb the ladder, things get more and more filthy until you reach the Captain Broken himself, Shao Kahn, who just repeatedly abuses high-speed, high priority dashes or fireballs to sickening effect until you fall over and don't get up. The AI is absolutely all over the place, spamming special moves until the round ends one minute while refusing to fight back the next. Is that such a bad thing, really? Perhaps it is, but as far as guilty pleasures go, UMK3 is right up there.Īs exemplified by the game's single-player modes, Mortal Kombat 3 is far from a technical fighter. We just want to beat gallons of blood out of silly-looking characters then make them explode in a shower of bones and offal. We don't want dodgy third-person adventure modes, half-baked creation modes or reams of unlockable artwork. While the new game might have vast rosters of characters, the simplicity of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and its wealth of classic finishing moves make it the far better game and for far less cash. They actually found a way to make MK Armageddon even less necessary. ![]()
