Not bad, for an arcade translation

The combo system is intact, the frame rate is intact, but something had to give. (For those who don't know, sorry folks that you are, MK4 was originally an arcade game using truly awesome proprietary 3D hardware.)

In this case, it was the polygon count. Close up, some of these characters are just UGLY. The characters' polygons often clip and sometimes just disappear; fortunately, this only affects the look, not the feel, of the game.

The standard "home version" additions are here -- endurance mode (harkening back to MK1), practice modes with move lists, and Reiko finally has a "real" ending to his storyline. But most people are simply worried about the game's playability and arcade accuracy.

On those fronts, at least, it wins big.

It may be ugly, but it's a lot of fun.

One of the Worst

I have been a long time fan of MK, and was impressed with MK4 in the arcade. The port to PSX simply provides a poor quality game. The graphics rot compared to other fighting games, the difficulty levels are all out of whack, and the controls...forget about it. The only fun my friends and I ever get out of this game is laughing at how ridiculously bad it is. Save your money for the arcade version of this one.

Great Game

Mortal Kombat 4 is one of the best games I've ever played. The sounds are great. The fun factor off the wall! Mortal Kombat 4 is great because it has easy to master moves and the whole weapon idea is awesome. The fatalities are true Mortal Kombat style. Being a longtime MK fan I think that MK4 is the best yet. It combines all of the goodpoints from other Mortal Kombat games into a single great game. A must play game for all Mortal Kombat fans.

Great Game

This is a great game from my point of view. This game is best to play against a friend, but still is good to play against the computer because of the games hard diffuculty, and the great movie you get to see with the characther you beat the game with. It has great graphics and good playing options, like you can do a tournament or two on two mode, and others such as practice mode where you can find out all your characters moves and fatalities.I don't think this game has any weak points which makes it a 5 rated game. it's fun, intense, hard, and smart.

I am a video game junkie, but I have never been a fan of fighting games. Street Fighter was ok. But, I will have to admit that MK4 won me over.

Employing the practice mode into the game was a very smart decision. It makes one wonder why it was never done before. I am not an expert at this game, but I would recommend to use Lui Kang.

I enjoyed this game so much that I am interested in buying a copy.

MK4 IS A SUPERIOR FIGHTING GAME. MY MOUTH IS WATERING FOR MORTAL KOMBAT DEADLY ALLIANCE. THE PS1 VERSION IS A LIL' SLOWER THAN THE N64 VERSION. HOWEVER THIS GAME LOSES NO POINTS FOR THAT. GREAT!!
