There is only one reason to buy this game

That reason is if you need it to complete your collection. Get MK 4, it is much better. MK: Trilogy is too slow, mind-numbing slow, and, did I mention this?, slow. A huge selection of fighters, but who cares? The game is too slow to play. Each characters has about four frames of animation. Yuck, get MK 4.

If U like MK, This is for you

Mortal Kombat Trilogy is an awsome game. the graphics are just like the Arcade, and controls and moves are very easy to master. The only drawback in this game is the sound, which could've used a little work. So If your a MK fan, you should seriously consider buying this awsome game.

The best non 3D fighting game

This game, how can you go wrong? You get the ultimate fighting game there has ever been, easy controls, difficult fatalities, brutalities, babalities, friendships, combos. You start up the game and first when the character select screen comes you are blown away! An uncountable amount of characters, secret characters like Knameleon, Smoke, Kahn, Motaro, tons of kombat kodes and secrets. There is even a 2 on 2 mode, 3 on 3 mode and an 8 person tournament mode in the game. No other non 3D fighting game will be the same!

Bigger, better, yet not complete...

Okay, so I'm six years too late in reviewing this game, but what the hey: I just recently picked it up really cheap, just to see what it was like since I'm a huge Mortal Kombat fan. Bottom line? It's better than I expected, but not by much.

I've bought around 16 Nintendo 64 games, and not once have I complained about the cartridge format: until now. It served me well through GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Battle for Naboo, and even through Resident Evil 2. Yes the video sequences in that game were highly compressed, but seeing as how squeezing them all in was a miracle by itself, I have no complaints. It's too bad Williams didn't try any similiar compression techniques for MKT. The game feels woefully incomplete, especially when compared to the PSX version. A couple of characters were sacrificed, including Goro, Kintaro, the unmasked Sub-Zero, and classic costume changes for Kano, Raiden, Jax, and a few others. A lot of the classic backgrounds are also missing, noticibly from the original game and Mortal Kombat 2. And then there's the sound, or what tries to pass itself off as sound. While the N64 was capable of Dolby 5.1 Surround by the end of its life span, here it can barely crank out decent mono. Other reviews have said the sound seems canned, muffled, and my personal favourite: like your speakers are set up behind a cement wall. It's all true, every bit of it. If Williams had given the game better sound, I might have been tempted to ease off on it a little.

The gameplay has been carried over from MK3, with a new aggressor meter at the bottom. Thankfully, for the characters that have made it, all their finishing moves are intact, and are still cool to watch. There are also various 2-on-2, 3-on-3, and tournament modes to mess around with. The game does get stale after awhile, but it happens to all fighting games. MKT is good for a few rounds of mayhem whenever you're bored.

I don't regret purchasing MKT, but I wish Williams had taken more time and effort to polish the game, such as reshooting the actors (Brawka in particular feels cut and pasted directly from MKII), and finding a way to cram everything in. MK fans without a PSX should definitely get this. It's not completely satisfying, but it gets the job done.

1 of the most vast 2-D fighters of all time.

Loaded with everyone of your favorite MK fighters pre MK4. MK Trilogy was out dated in appearance the day of this versions release. However, I never played Trilogy for it's graphics. The game play is very addictive I think. Don't get me wrong I do like the look of this game. I wouldn't call this game anything less than perfect just the way it is. Even tho I don't play this game nearly as much as i did.. I did play it for 5 years, 3 years of which was everyday. Mortal Kombat has been my favorite fighting game series for over half a decade now. So what does this great game really offer you... 30 playable fighters, moves and 'alities never seen in an arcade, brutal brutalities and 7 pit like stage fatalites!! Starring: Scorpion, Subzero, Kitana, Raiden, Cage, Reptile, Sonya, Sheeva, Smoke, Cyrax, Liu Kang, Kabal, Nightwolf, Jade, Sindel, Rain, Stryker, Kano & Jax. Just to name a few.

Wicked Game!!

This game is basically the Mortal Kombat 3 fighting engine except it has all the levels from Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3, hence called the trilogy. It has some kool features, including the awesome 8 on 8 Kombat, which is loads of fun with your friends. Graphics are great, Mortal Kombat is always known for that in its games. A lot of secrets in the game too. Also has really wicked fighters in it like Rain and Noob Saibot. Mortal Kombat 5 is the best one right now though. This game is still worth getting!!! Mortal Kombat 3 Movie, Koming soon!!!!! Yea!

MK Trilogy

Fighting games were scarce on the 64, but MK TRILOGY was a really good one for it. It took all characters from all 4 MK's (Mortal Kombat, MK II, Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3) and also made some of the bosses playable characters like Goro and Kintaro. More or less, all of the characters that have been in the game this whole time (ex Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Scorpion and Sub Zero) were the Ultimate Mortal Kombat versions.

It's pretty good. The graphics are good, the game play is smooth and you get to use pretty much every character that has been in the series up to UMK 3. The UMK 3 Combo system is used in this so if you're not up to speed on the UMK 3 combos, you might want to brush up a little first.

Like I said, seeing as how fighting games were very few on the 64, I'd check out this one because it was a good one. That and how can you not want to play as Goro or Kintaro? If you're looking for another good fighting game on the 64, check out KILLER INSTINCT GOLD and for you wrestling fans check out WCW/NwO REVENGE and WWF NO MERCY.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy ~ N64

Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a pretty good game for N64. But compared to the Playstation version, it's just a small combination of the past three MK games and nothing more. The graphics are okay, the animation is fair, but the sounds & music are ... poor! It would be better to put the volume on mute while playing it. Plus, the N64's control doesn't quite do well with this sort of game. There are three really cool cheat menu's on this game though. However, for whatever reason, there is NO one-button-fatalities cheat! You have to press a certain combination of buttons on your controller in order to do all the finishing moves. That really...!!!! Plus, every stage uses music from MK3. That gets really annoying after a while.
My advice to MK fans: BUY THIS GAME FOR THE PLAYSTATION! YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH! On the playstation version of MKT, you get all the characters from all of the MK games, including their own set of moves and fatalities. Plus, there are more cheats, secrets, and even the popular one-button-fatalities cheat is on here!!! All of the stages are here, and the graphics, sounds, music, animation, and controls are excellent!!! Buy this on your Playstation, and avoid the N64 version. ...

one of the best mortal kombat games!

the game is awesome, contains more characters than any of the previous MK games, the only thing feel missing is that the game is 2D, otherwise a great fighting game with great moves, I love the fact that it is fast, my personal fav are noob saibot and human smoke, great combos and fatalities and other features. a must buy for a MK fan!

Very nice

As you can see, YES I AM A MORTAL KOMBAT FAN. I used to obsess over everything that was Mortal Kombat:
1. All the games
2. Both of the movies {I am awaiting the 3'rd movie next year}
3.The Outworld Arena
4. Anything else
I just love how the blood flies everywhere when a guy is punched or killed or uppercutted. I recommend this to any Mortal Kombat fan.
