Mortal Kombat Gold is a Boring summer re-run

Its not that mk gold is a bad game and all, but as far as Franchises go, its just about run its course. MK gold is basically MK4 with 5 new charactors, and once thats over with your stuck with a game that you were finished playing on the nintendo 64 and playstation a year ago. It does look much better than the arcade and the gameplay is exacly the same, but its to old of a game to come out now. It would be like releasing a new virsion of Mortal Kombat 1 on the playstation. If you have never played MK4 before, then you should rent it and see if its your thing or not, but otherwise steer clear and buy soul calibur instead.

Same Old MK

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ............. If you've play Mortal Kombat before THERE IS NO REASON TO BUY THIS GAME. Theres really nothing new,even the FMVs are pretty lame. Save your money for Soul Calibur.

hmmm I wish I could fit all the problems in here.

Has anyone noticed how All the charicters pratcilly have a way of moven?

Cyrax will move just like Sonya. Scorpion and Subzero and Jax Well Just about everyone has a duplicate animated action's and puches and kicking. They are all the same animations really and that really brings the game down.

The Shadow's are nothin but stick people.

lame lame lame.

and the super powers looked Better in Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat 2 and Mortal Kombat 3. look how stupid Lue Kang's Fire is now. just a little tiny ball...

ahhh plan and simple this game sucks. If your a die HARD Mortal Kombat fan, YOU MIGHT! like it... but there is also a chance you might hate it. But as for a fighter... If You are REALLY looking for a fighter, Don't even think about buying this game. if your gonna buy it, buy it for like 1- to 5 dollars at the most. I payed 26.99 for it..... and Not worth any of the money I put to it. Kitana doesn't even have the same appeal she had in Mortal Kombat 2.

Street Fighter still better, and this would probaly be....

Almost the Worst Mortal Kombat's.

My first impression came with the controller. There is no Support for the joystick thing. and when you try to move the charicter with your regular standard pad instead of foward you mostly jump. You don't even need to touch anything near the jump, once you say foward you end up jumping most of the time. also same with the backward. There should have been support for the trottle thing. I guess I have to go get my self a Fighting controller for this game. but won't help much.

This still has some of the worst story's and the Worst endings. Reptile, come on! I beat the boss here, and he kills me in the end cinema. That is just Idiotic.

Wow what did we get more then the 4th one? 4 5 More charicters, lets see. Cyrax, Meleena, Kitana (Which should have been in the 4th one in the first place, them idiots!) Baraka (Also one that shouldn't have been taken out, though he was incredibly cheap even from the first one) Kung Lou (Never gave a cared about him) ahhh I'd have to figure out if there were more. but who gives. either way it should have been like Mortal Kombat Trilogy meets Mortal Kombat 4 (With Better storys and endings)

1 was a Very Good Game 2 Was a very Good Game but the storys got stupid. and shouldn't have told you who won in the first tortment, simply because I beat Kain or what ever. But still, He is a stupid charicter anyhow. Shouldn't have lost Kano Or Sonya in the first place. 3. All the new Charicters Stink! Why did they get ride of Scorpion? Ultimate 3. well ok this one was cool to see. but still stunk. Trilogy. Trilogy The best of the Mortal Kombats 4. Good to see Goro Back, but other then that they are Missing way way to much! Gold. Not anything new from the original 4th.

ahhh I'll go on and on. I'll just simply say There are ALOT ALOT ALOT better fighting games to get for your Money! I MEAN ALOT!

Mortal Kombat Gold Doesn't even come close to beating any of the Mortal Kombats on the other systems (well Gensis Mortal Kombat 2 is probaly still the worst) But even N64's mortal Kombat 4 had better a better controller.

Mortal kombat gold was a lot like mortal kombat 4 for nintendo 64. But I loved it because they have my favorite characters Sub-Zero and Jax.I hope thy come out with another game before they shut down the Dreamcast industry.Also I think they should team up with capcom and have CapcomVsMortal Kombat where we could see Ken blow Sonya to bits with his Hadouken fatality.

MORTAL KOMBAT LIVES!!

The Best MK yet

Ok first let me say that this game is great. Its just mk4 with a few new additives. The graphics are great and the sound is outstanding. MK4 was good on N64 but MKG on Dreamcast is a total different story; it is much more close to the arcade(mk4) than n64 could ever hope for. Plus the critics that write reviews for mk are the magazines that are owend or sponsered by games like soul caliber and street fighter. Don't get me wrong soul caliber is amazing graphics. But Mk is fun cuz it has a STORY LINE. My honest opinion I would get both. If you can't decied rent both. There two different games so they are hard to compare. One is based on a story that is a 10 year run. And the other was pulled out a few months ago. You decide either way you won't be deciponited.

Wow, how overwhelmingly unimpressive

This game was impressive in 1993. It's laughably bad now. Pixelated graphics, 2-d fighting, and a tiny move list make this game unimpressive. Which is a shame, because the MK characters and storyline are pretty interesting.

If you are looking for a good Dreamcast fighting game, then, please, pass this one by. You'll play it for maybe 8 minutes, then get bored. Instead, get Soul Calibur. It's the best fighting game yet. Or, if you want a little titilation, get Dead or Alive 2 and see what the Dreamcast's graphics processor can do. Those who appreciate "The Man Show"'s "Girl on Trampoline" segments or Dailyradar.com's Jumprope Team will really get a kick out of Dead or Alive 2.

But please, leave this boring, outdated game behind. If only Midway would take the MK franchise into the RPG genre...

Don't waste your cash on this

There are other games far better for the Dreamcast than this game. It doesn't even have a practice mode or anything else to make it stand out. Gameplay is very shallow and ultimately boring. If you get more than 3 or 4 hours of game playing enjoyment out of this more power to you. There are many other games that are less expensive and much better available. Instead of wasting your money on this go try Soul caliber, marvel vs Capcom, DOA2 or Virtua Fighter. All are much better games that include many extras not available in the arcade version. Soul Caliber for the Dreamcast is fantastic by the way and costs less. If you don't believe me go rent Mortal Kombat Gold and see for yourself. This is easily the worst Mortal Kombat ever.

you need to be a mk fan
