Not bad for its time, but too hard

Falling down pits in the wind and fire stages are awful. The fighting scenes are kind of difficult as well. It can be fun, but only with a low difficulty, or the cheat codes. Only get this if you're a hardcore MK Fan.

Horrible game

In the nineties, the Mortal Kombat series of games established themselves as one of the finest fighting game series around, as well as one of the most controversial. Three games in the series had been released so far (four if you count the two different versions of Mortal Kombat III), and the creators wanted to try something a little different - an action-adventure starring one of the most beloved MK characters - the icy ninja Sub-Zero. Did they succeed or fail? Read on for my review of MK Mythologies.

PROS:
-GOOD GRAPHICS FOR A PLAYSTATION ONE GAME. The best thing about this game is, by far, the graphics. They're nothing revolutionary, but they get the job done.
-AWESOME CUT SCENES. The game features live cut scenes, which are one of the reasons I liked the original Playstation's games so well.
-UNIQUE CONCEPT. The creators of the series set out to do something no one else had done, and they did it.
-PASSWORDS. The game has passwords, so you don't need a memory card.

CONS:
-HORRIBLE control for this sort of game. These controls belong in an MK tournament fighter, but NOT in an action-adventure. You even have to push a button just to TURN AROUND! You also must push one to pick up items! And to make things worse, the controls are less responsive than they were in the MK tournament fighters.
-UNIQUENESS ISN'T ALWAYS A GOOD THING. The game set out to combine two very different types of fighting games. They did so, but the game is horribly imbalanced because of it.
-SIMPLE MISTAKES CAN KILL YOU. Platform jumping in the game is TERRIBLE, as are most other aspects of the game.

OVERALL:
DO NOT BUY, or even play this game. The creators of the MK series did something unique indeed, but the execution was horrible. Unless you WANT to play a terrible game, pass this one by. And if you MUST play it for some reason, make sure you play the Playstation version - the Nintendo 64 one doesn't have the cut scenes.

Best MK Game?

MK Mythologies Sub Zero in my opinion, is one of the best Mortal Kombat games of all times. It combines the classic MK fighting system with a new world to explore. It does not take place in a fighting ring, you actually must solve puzzles, get past traps, and even make potions! It may be 7 years old, but it is still a great game that all MK fans should play.

not the best but not bad

This game was ok I mean Sub-Zero is my second favorite charecter my first though is Scorpion and he is one of the resons I rented this game. It was an ok story but nothing really cool so I guess by it if your favorite charecter is Sub-Zero other then that you will just b!t(h about how hard it is.

Good Game, but just a smidgen too hard

This was a great game, but there are some drawbacks. The game is just too incredibly hard for the limited number of lives, and the boss battles (Particularly on the bridge of Immortality) are repetetive. A good game overall, buy it!

great game but TOO DIFFICULT TO BEAT!

This would have been an absolutely brilliant game if the difficulty level had been low and if the controls had been good.Otherwise it's a great game.The graphics are superb,the sound effects are done quite well.The FMV sequences in between the stages are stunning.The first stage isn't tough to beat ,but from thereon it becomes quite tough and frustating at times.The controls aren't that easy to master. But all in all still a welcome addition to the MK series.

This game is the worst ever.

When I first got the game I thought it would be good like the other mortal kombat games , but then I learned that I wasted my money. This game is extremely hard to beat, has bad graphics, a dumb story , and no 2 player mode. If I were you I would not buy this game. I learned that the hard way.

MKM: Annoying, yet intriguing

I was always a fan of MK. I always felt that the first MK gave the best atmosphere, and the sequels killed that aspect, instead adding more characters and 'neat' moves rather then the Goth dark horror I perceive the MK universe to be. This game steps back into that style, with a feel for what is truly behind the characters, and the meaning behind the tournament. However, this game has some bothersome aspects, like too few lives, too precise timing required (especially in the second stage with the windmill platforms), and too much to guess at. Over all, this game is better then average, but could have used a little more, in controls. A good buy, for MK buffs.

A fair game

This is a disgrace to the name Mortal Kombat. Its a near imposible side scrolling version where you fight dumb people and get pat things that fall on oyur head. This is a horrible game and is even wors for Nintendo 64,get it for PlayStation bcaukse the controlls are easy but the best thing to do is not get it at all.
