Mortal Kombat Krazy!

The first Mortal Kombat was simply awesome. Who ever thought a better game could be made? Midway did everything they could to make the second installment of the Mortal Kombat series the best, and it was. They improved the graphics, sound, characters, character moves, and the gameplay. This is a definite buy for all Genesis owners.

Another excellent MK game

The original Mortal Kombat reinvented the tournament fighter. So it's really no surprise that the game's company of creation wanted to do a sequel. It wasn't long before Mortal Kombat II arrived in arcades, and before long, it reached home consoles. Read on for my review.

PROS:
-While the original Mortal Kombat only gave you seven characters to choose from, this one gives you TWELVE! The characters returning from the old game are Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Rayden/Raiden (spelling varies in different versions of the game), Liu Kang, and Johnny Cage. You can also now play as Shang Tsung, final boss of the first game (though he has a new body now.) Reptile from the first game is also now playable, although he now has his own set of moves. The new characters are as follows: Baraka, a nomadic warrior with two huge blades on his hands. Kung Lao, an ally of Liu Kang's. Kitana, the princess of the Outworld realm. And Mileena, an evil clone of Kitana.
-Each character has at least three special moves.
-In addition to special moves, each character has a number of fatalities - two regular fatalities, one babality (a move that turns the foe into a baby), and one friendship (which is basically comic relief.)
-The violence is intact in this game.
-In the Genesis only you get a special code that can be used to configure a number of things.
-Each character has his or her own unique ending.

CONS:
-Once again, the game maker goes wild with pallet-swapping to make some quick characters.
-You can't play as the secret characters or the bosses.
-More female characters would have been nice.
-The play control and graphics of the Super Nintendo version are superior to those of this game, but this version has the exclusive code, which will give gamers a tough choice of which version to buy.

OVERALL:
Overall this is an excellent game that more than stands the ten-year test of time. It's also quite possibly the finest game in the Mortal Kombat series. If you've got one of the consoles that hosted this game, then by all means buy it!

Mortal Kombat 2 review

Mortal Kombat 2 for Sega Genesis is a good game, but far from perfect. MK2 on the Super Nintendo blows this one away! On this game, the music and sound fx are a bit bland. The graphics aren't so bad. The fatalities look fairly good, but compared to the ones on the SNES version, they seem a bit lame. Like whenever you blow your opponent up, instead of their bones & body parts splattering all over the ground, they simply disappear whenever landing on the ground! That really stinks!! The only reason I give this game 3 stars instead of 2 is because the game features a secret cheat option, which is pretty cool. The SNES version of MK2 doesn't have a darn cheat option. The bottom line: if you want an enjoyable version Mortal Kombat 2, buy it on the Super Nintendo (SNES).

THIS SEQUEL IS BETTER THAN THE LAST GAME WAS FOR THIS SYSTEM

THIS SEGA VERSION OF THE MORTAL KOMBAT SEQUEL AGAIN FAILS TO COMPARE TO THE SUPER NINTENDO VERSION. THIS TIME AROUND, THE GRAPHICS ARE MUCH BETTER AND THE FIGHTS ARE MUCH MORE FUN TO PLAY. IF YOU STILL HAVE THE GENESIS AND WANNA OWN A GREAT EARLY MK GAME, THIS IS THE WAY TO GO. YOU SURELY WON'T BE WASTING YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME.

bloody fun

Me and my buds used to play this game all the time! Graphics are great, for an old system. If you like dodging weird creatures and avoiding obsticals, this is your game.
