Brand: Nintendo EAN: 0031719198016 ESRB Age Rating: Mature Label: Midway Entertainment Manufacturer: Midway Entertainment Model: 19801 MPN: 19801 Platform: Nintendo 64 Publisher: Midway Entertainment Studio: Midway Entertainment Editorial Review: Editorial Review: With fighters engaging in martial arts/supernatural combat to the death, the tournament known as Mortal Kombat rages on in this installment of the ultraviolent series. In addition to requisite sequel enhancements such as new moves with which to disembowel your opponent, the two-dimensional graphics of earlier games have been expanded into 3-D. Now rendered in polygons, the characters move as fluidly as when they were digitized footage of live actors, and the previously cramped arenas have been greatly opened up and are more eerie than ever. An excellent conversion of the arcade game, the Nintendo 64 version is sure to delight Mortal Kombat 4 junkies. In addition to near-arcade quality graphics, unbelievably rich sound, and responsive controls, there are plenty of never-before-seen extras that rabid fans are sure to eat up. However, those less enthusiastic should pass on Mortal Kombat 4. The gameplay is virtually identical to the 1992 original, and feels hopelessly dated when compared with other fighting games that have gone on to evolve, while Midway has remained content churning out the same old Mortal Kombat. --Joe Hon Pros:

 Rating:  - Best EndingsI absolutley loved the endings to each character. They are in movie form so you can see what happens instead of reading it along with a single picture like the newer Mortal Kombat games of today. Rating:  - MK4 EXTRAVAGANZA (LOGO) SMK MK4 is the first Mortal Kombat game to be in 3-D.Good graphics,new grab moves,new characters and old ones! One thing that might bother you is how easy it is. Another thing is the new characters have some same moves as the old one's. I noticed that not too long ago. I love the fatalities though and the level fatalities are awesome. This is a good game but I'm warning you it's not the best MK game around. Look for my logo which is SMK if you want to see more of my reviews. It usually is at the bottom ...

The graphics rock, the arenas are both cool looking and interesting, there are many cool moves each of the fighters have, and the endings are movies! I have won this game four times, all four as none other than Scorpion, my favorite MK fighter(4 times I won MK4! Perfect fit!). I love this game, it is cooler than nearly any game I know, there are some of the coolest ... Read More Rating: - Choose Your DestinyI had this game given to me for free years ago on the PC format. I liked it, but for some reason it crashed on me one day and I mustve done something to the disc, 'cause it never worked or would reinstall on any computer after that. All these years later I've just picked it up, second hand, for the N64. And I must say there is not really any difference between the PC version and the 64 version, which is a good thing! The only difference is in the movies. The PC and I 'spose ... Read More Rating: - It's in 3-D now!Though officially the 4th installment in the MK series, Mortal Kombat 4 followed one upgrade game, a compilation game, and a Sub-Zero spinoff game, making it around the 7th actual produced game for the series. It was the first game to utilize a 3-D engine, and the first MK game to feature weapons combat. While the 3-D engine was a refreshing change of pace after the stale, sprite-based animation of the previous entries, in truth MK4 gets dull rather quickly. Without the 3-D engine, it's ...
