What upsets me the most was that i was dumb enough to buy this thing, ug. I should kick my own tail for doing something of which i should have known better for. Graphics and sound are great, but thats were it ends. Special moves like scorpion's spear throw work maybe once in 25 tries, ai is a joke being too hard or too easy. Really, if you want to win, just run at your opponent until they back themselves in a corner, then wail away; they won't block or even try to get away. Fatalities r easy to pull off, but they're bland. The game book says you're supposed to do the classic sub zero's head pull, nope, you really send out a blast of frigid air which freezed your vic, who then falls back and shatters. If you're a glutton for punishment and flawed, shoddy games, this is for you. If you want to waste oodles of time being frustrated at unresponsive special attacks and view utter lackluster combos, this is for you. The rest need not apply.

Way too hard

I'm not a master at fighting games, but I got to wiggle my way through the medium difficulty level of MK1 on SNES, and I finish the medium level of Super Street Fighter II revival. But MK advance is way too hard, even on the easiest level. It's not challenging, it's downright frustrating.

Buy this as a Christmas Present for your enemy

If you truly and utterly hate someone, then I have a little hint for you. Buy them this game. When they play and see the sketchy graphics, the poor backgrounds, and the fact that some of the special moves go through your opponent, they will think the game is defective. When they go to the game store to exchange it for a real copy, you will laugh with glee as they find that there was no defect, but it was the real game! Only use this against a bitter enemy however, as this game is an incredible torture that I would wish upon noone. If that doesn't convince you to run away at the sight of this game, then let me put it this way: Hitler is being forced to play it right now on the 9th level of Hell.

EGM's lowest rated game ever.

If I remember correctly, in an old issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (probably the most respected magazine for console gaming), Dan Hsu gave this game a rating of a 0/10; making this to my knowledge, the lowest rated game ever ever reviewed by them. He spoke of numerous glitches in combat itself and combos not being added up correctly... just a blatantly terrible game.

I agree with the gamer that said, EGM Gave bad scores

I buy EGM alot and I read all their reviews but something
caught my eye. Mortal Kombat Advance got a O.O out of 10.
I read the review of it and began to laugh one reviewer quoted,
"Mortal Kombat is a stinking pile of bloody dog krap!"
While another quoted, "I'd rather be locked in solitary
confinment while gargling cat piss." Ignor reviewer one, I
do not reccomend this to anyone this game is crap, WARNING:
DO NOT PLAY should be stuck to the box case.....hooorrible

Man this game sucks

Mortal Kombat perfected itself when it brought out the MK Trilogy on Pc and PSX. But before that, the SNES had great games of MK 1, 2 & 3 and then buggered up the trilogy for the N64.

Now that the power of the SNES can be made into a hand held console, you'd think the GBA version of the original style of MK would rock, right? Wrong.

What the hell have they made here????

A GBA is supposed to be a handheld SNES, yet the SNES game never was as slow as this game, the graphics wherent as bad (backgrounds are image's) the moves where executable with ease on the SNES and yet this version it takes 2 or 3 tries to get something to work because the response of the game is not fast enough!!! and the worst thing is the feel of it, you cant beat the computer with ease, everythign you do gets blocked, the computer all of a suddan goes on a rampage kicking your butt and you cant do anythign about it.

Plus, where the hell is Johnny Cage, Goro but most important of all Raiden??? You cant have a MK game without Raiden.

To screw it up even worse, it's a 2 button game now!!! no more jp,lp,lk,hk,b & r...nope, just k & p... press back+K for a roundhouse kick, press down+back+kick for a sweep... that probably would have been ok to get used to if the bloody response of it actualy worked... i have to slow down my button pressing so the computer can execute the moves which sucks to high heaven.

I didnt even get a fality off, there is no one button fatality code. I played this with a gameshark and needed the infinite health code on. You even need the gameshark to unlock Shoakahn, Montoro and Human Smoke because to access them you have to beat the game then get to use them for one round. WHY THE HELL GO BACKWARDS FROM THE TRILOGY? It's a serios downstep and it's the worst Mortal Kombat i've ever played. It even makes me like the 64's version better with it's less charactors and no one button fatality cheat that every other version had.

This is the worst MK game ever. Dont buy it, it's slow, it doesnt have the right feel, the response sucks, the computer blocks everything, there is hardly a cheat worth looking at, the bacgrounds suck.... there is nothing good to say about this game.

Plase, if you do like this game, it's probably because you have never played any of the other MK's before. So, go and find an MK game on any other system and find out why I am saying what I am saying about this version, and you will agree with me 100% when you play the GBA version again and it runs so slow and boring and nothing goes right.

it is nadal!!!

I know there are limits to the Gameboy Advance's memory, but why don't programmers work within those confines to make a solid game???..instead of trying to cram tons of characters and moves into one game that turns out [poor]? In Mortal Kombat Advance, the characters are hard to see...and the sound effects are messed up. Sometimes when you score a hit, there is just silence, or some kind of wimpering noise. Also, even on the easiest level, it is very, very difficult to win. I say don't buy this game unless your an expert at Mortal Kombat and don't mind straining your eyesight to follow the action.

STAY AWAY!! STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is without a doubt the worst Mortal Kombat game I ever played in my whole life!!!!! The characters are too small, the moves are hard to pull off sometimes, and the bossed are too easy for me! To beat Motaro, just keep doing the low kick on him (hold foward and press A) and to beat Shao Khan, Keep throwing projectiles and he'll block them all, destroying him! This is an extremely bad game and I advise you all to STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Controls are terrible!

I was looking forward to a complete packing of MK for GBA, but the controls and gameplay was horrible. Very hard to execute moves and it was way too easy for the CPU opponent to sweep you into oblivion. I ended up trading this one back.

If you want portable Kombat for Game Boy Advance, go for MKII and MKIII instead.

(looking foward to MK Deadly Alliance)
