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.

This game is ok but It could have been a lot better. One of the best of the Mortal Kombat but it too much like MK 4.

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.

The WORST Game Save your money

I am one of the bigest fans of Mortal Kombat and when GOLD came out for Dreamcast I thought It would be the best. But I have been playing Soul Calibur ever since I got my Dreamcast and I was expecting somthing great from Mortal Kombat. The graphics are the same as they where before the Dreamcast Midway did not waste any time on this game. Save your Money and buy "Soul Calibur".

(I can not give it zero starts so I guess one is enough)

Just flat out disappointment

When will the makers of mk realize that you cant make an identical game to inferior systems and still expect people to buy it. If you're gonna make mk for the dc, make it spectacular. I got rid of the 64 because I wasn't totally pleased with the game selection and quality. I see now that there will never be another mk game that i'll be buying for a system. Oh yeah, and i'm begging someone to make the game just that much harder. It's not even fun on two player. But once again, thank the man upstairs for refunds and exchanges.

What a dissapointment!

MKG isn't a bad game...For Supernintendo. The graphics are alright, until you see their shadows are stick people. The stories are extremely weak. The gameplay is redundant. The videos at the end of the game play like you just drew them. It's really bad.

The only very redeeming value of this game are the move. The are something else. However, they cannot save the game.

Every so often I like to play this game, but not because it's great, just because my Sega doesn't work, and that's the only other copy of MK I have.

Good Game

Yes, this is a lot like Mortal Kombat 4, but I enjoyed the new characters and the new fighting grounds. I never had Mortal Kombat 4, and when I got my Dreamcast, I figured I'd go with this one. It is fun with good graphics, but the shadows could have been a lot better (they are little stick figures). But, all the blood and gore returns to this title. It's a good game, but if you have Mortal Kombat 4, then don't bother to buy it.

NOT A VERY GOOD GAME.

When I saw this game in a Dreamcast magazine, I thought it would be cool. But It was just like Mortal Kombat 4. And I don't like Mortal Kombat 4 very mutch. So the only new things about this game are the few new characters, the few new places to fight, and the kombat theater.(which is just the endings of the game you've seen.)All that stuff gets boring very quickly. So I'm glad I rented this game, or else I'd be stuck with it.

Once again there's people who don't know how to review games out there.Mortal Kombat Gold is one of those games you can review only to it's past Mortal Kombat games.The graphics are top notch,silky smooth,no slowdown,the characters are detailed just as the originals.It plays like a Mortal Kombat game...what else can you say.But the critics want to compare it the fighting games of today...you can't compare a early 90's fighting game to a 21st century fighting game.To sum all up,bad day at the job,want to let go some stress,plug in Mortal Kombat Gold and start to pound some heads.

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.
