Totally horrible game design, play, and graphics. What does this all add up to? An absolutly, totally horrible and terrible game. Do not buy this game at risk of your sanity. You have been warned. (Please, if you must, at least rent it first)

If I could give this game less than one star I would. I got this game off a friend for five bucks. That was the worst five bucks I ever spent. This game is terrible. It is soooooo repeditive, and the story is unbearable when they are in the brutally stupid slide show fashion. The soud is terrible because it souds the same to hit a person as it does to hit a wall. Please don't get this game.

Not the best

Defenately not the best Mortal Kombat game. Although not pityfully awful like stated in other reviews, the game isn't extremely fun. I spent hours tring to beat the game, and when I finally did I was very diapointed. The graphics weren't bad, at least not too much. The story of the game (isn't great either).

But, it's the link that shows what went on between the Shao Kahn tournaments and Mortal Kombat 4. However, the game plot also contradicts few things to the typical Mortal Kombat legacy. For example, aren't the four elemental gods supposed to be good? Then why are they on the bad guy's side? So in the end, the game is somewhat fun, and long lasting, but is it really worth your money, to me it was, and at times it was, but the final decision is up to you, you decide, I 'll just give you a little advice: don't get it.

Um, uh... Ma'am?

Oh, your not kidding? Well the makers of this game must have been. It's the worst MK ever. Well if you love 2D action, impossible levels, and no multiplayer, I guess this issss the game for you...

The Coolest MK Ever!

Okay, sure. The graphics may be a little poor and the game play may be a little hard especially because this game is a side-scroller, but this is still I would think the greatest MK ever. This game goes beyond the tournament and the story rules. Mythologies goes back into the past, before the orginal Mortal Kombat. As Sub-Zero, you must find the symbols that represent the elements and defeat totally cool bosses. By far, the best part of the game is the end level, which takes you into the maze of Quan Chi's fortress where you later meet up with him and the original Shinnok. This MK game is a must-have for any Mortal Kombat fan who enjoys MK's dark storylines more than the tournamet fights.

The worst Mk up to date.

I have to admit I bought this game but, i am no idiot because I was an Mk fan. This game is exactly the same to the ps version but lacks better music and the loss of FMV due to N64 memory. Besides the story in this is quite messed up with sub zero if you compared his story in mk 1. Sub zero also is toned down and pathetic from jumping in not so high places to the ground. This is only for Mk "sub-zero" fans. Another thing is that I was able to beat this game but, still it is too hard to be fun ( and no I don't mean challenging hard).

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.
-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.

This game should have been great.

I admit I did put hours into this game being the hugh Mortal Kombat fan that I am. Gosh I'm sure happy this embarrassing MK game didn't ruin Subzero's career. It is a side scroller in which you are faced with many evil monks (oh, and their all twins for some reason)..Subzero has many power-ups that prove useless. The mega-sized bosses are boring to fight (oh, and they never die for some reason). Due to the fact that the game supplies no level maps (how generic) a strategy guide would be a must, that is if you cared to bother with the game in the first place. Two good things did come about from this MK disaster.. Quan Chi & Shinnok. For Mortal Kombat that is a must see "MK4" or the new "MK Deadly Alliance". Leave this one in the past where it never should have spawned. 2 1/2 stars is as high as I could go. I'm generous.

One of the worst games I ever played on 64!

This game is EXTREMELY boring, it has very cheap graphics, andis extremely hard to follow. I would only suggest this game to peoplewho are really, really obsessed with Mortal Kombat or the character Sub-Zero. It has really hard controls and is not fun at all. I would definately rent this game before buying it. END
