There are tons of fighting games out there. A lot of them areblatant ripoffs of Mortal Kombat, others are futile attempts at beingdifferent. With newer game systems, these kinds of games have gone for the 3D look, and Mortal Kombat followed suit. Mortal Kombat 4 simply proves that no one can do better than the MK crew, 2D, or 3D. If you have to buy a fighting game, buy this one and burn the rest.

The Mortal Kombat storyline unfolds in 3D. The evil warlord Shao Kahn has been destroyed but the evil god Shinnok wants Raiden's fighters out of the picture. Awesome graphics and sweet fatalities make this game a treat.
One The BEST Mortal Kombats! Better The The PSX Version!

When I first Played The 'Home' Version Of MK4, I Played The PSX Version. I Thought It Was Cool, And Would Outshine The N64 Version. Then When I Played The N64 Version, I Was Shocked! The Graphics Were ALOT Crisp And Better, The Sound Was Better, NO LOADING, Faster Game Speed, and More! The 3-D Fatalities Were More Improved Than PSX. Even The Control Was Easier! I Now Own The N64 Version Of Mortal Kombat 4, And I Play It Quite Often. I Recommened This For Any MK Fan Who Has N64!
MORTAL KOMBAT DOES IT AGAIN!

How do they do it. Mortal kombat is the most sold serious in video games of all time and is the longest running serious of all time. Street Fighter just couldn't hold up!

well theres tons of different levels and stages you can go through.each fighter has his own special powers.before you get started youll need to inject caffiene directly into your thumbs to keep up with the computer guy.at first you should take lou kang.hes the easiest guy to learn.everythings easy once your caffiene kicks in up un til you run into goro.hes not even the boss but hes the toughest guy by far on every level.hes a big huge guy who can kill you in like 5 hits.when you hit him,it barely fazes him.just do something repeatedly like raiden[theres a real japanese god called raiden] and his torpedo spear or quan chis tele stomp.the fatalities are very gruesome.one involves a guy ripping off the other dudes leg and then beating him to death with it.ps-for some stupid reason all the cs are ks in this game.
It's in 3-D now!

Though officially the 4th installment in the MK series, Mortal Kombat 4 followed one upgrade game, a compilation game, and a Sub-Zero spinoff game, making it around the 7th actual produced game for the series. It was the first game to utilize a 3-D engine, and the first MK game to feature weapons combat.
While the 3-D engine was a refreshing change of pace after the stale, sprite-based animation of the previous entries, in truth MK4 gets dull rather quickly. Without the 3-D engine, it's pretty much the same as previous installments, only with less characters and less finishing moves. The idea to finally drop the silly finishers like Friendships and Babalities was a good one, but once you go through all the finishers and stage fatalities, you've pretty much seen it all. The basic fight engine is solid, but feels a little too simplistic and generic. The pre-programmed combos were toned down, which should be a good thing, but after awhile you miss the 'wow' factor that came with delivering them. The sidestepping button doesn't really do enough to change things, and weapons are so easily lost that its not worth pulling them out except for the coolness factor.
MK4's still decent and worth buying if you find a used cartridge around, but only because the N64 seriously lacked solid fighting games. The Playstation had plenty of 2-d and 3-d fighters that made MK4 pale in comparison. It's still fun to go a few rounds with friends, and its a nice pre-cursor to the more advanced Deadly Alliance and Deception, but the game just doesnt leave you satisfied.
Brings Mortal Kombat to the next level

This game is AWESOME. Not only do the fighters' moves look more realistic but now you can see them in a 3-D version. Not only are the Fatalities in 3-D too but you also get a full screen so the timer and HEALTH Bar or anything else aren't blocking anything. And not only are there new fighters but they and everybody else have weapons. I love Raiden's war hammer because when hit your opponet, he/she'll go flying into the screen. And there is more blood.Plus when you beat the game in 1-PLAYER,there will be a short story after so you can see what would have happened to your charactor after Earth is either saved (when you beat the game with a good guy) or conquered(when you beat the game with a bad guy). If you thought the 1992 MORTAL KOMBAT was,good you'll love this.

This game is sweet! All Mortal Kombat fans will love this game.
Not only Mortal Kombat fans but fans of fighting games will love it. It is not in 2D but 3d so it looks extreamly realistic. This game has more activities such as the weapon ability and the hidden characters. The speacial moves and fatalities look really cool since there in 3D. Over all this is probably the best Mortal Kombat game ever.
A GREAT GAME; 4.5 STARS

THIS IS A LITTLE SUPERIOR TO ITS PLAYSTATION VERSION. THE GRAPHICS ARE BETTER, THE CONTROLS ARE A LITTLE BETTER, AND IT'S A LITLE MORE FUN. THIS IS A GREAT GAME. AND I THINK THIS SHOULD PLEASE ALL MORTAL KOMBAT FANS. IF YOU STILL HAVE YOUR NINTENDO 64 AND YOU DON'T HAVE THIS GAME, GET IT NOW!
