MORTAL KOMBAT GOLD REVIEW

by Vladimir Legkostup

:: Many people compare Mortal Kombat Gold with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and also call this game Ultimate MK 4, and they are right. MKG is a good change on MK4 as well as ultimate in that time was on mk3 ::

:: The polygons are not only the instrument for the creation of virtual worlds. They have to come to life. MKG did this. The game is as the real world and at the same time is so far from it. Thanks to Dreamcast one can reach a tremendous clear picture. 3000 polygons for every fighter are not nice words out of advertisement but truely realism. The animation of the characters is of high quality and it is better than in the previous Mortal Kombat series ::

:: Something else in Mortal Kombat Gold is the returning of some "classic" characters. Kung Lao and Cyrax are two of them, plus Sector returned as a secret character! Just like in MK4 Goro is also in the game, only now he has fatalities (taken from Reiko and Cage) Most kombatants were made brilliantly but Baraka dissapointed me, his new image was not that nice ::

:: Weapons are also available in the game, a new WEAPON button let the player choose a favorite weapon. Its very comfortable and now its not necessary to play with somebody only because he has your favorite weapon. The perfection of the sound can be improved! Great sound of mk4 became more strained and sappier. New sound effects were added in MKG and also the good old music from mk3. (You can listen to this music with the cdplayer in your Dreamcast). Dan Forden is one of the most talented composers in the world. He made his work very talented as usual ::
