Story:

Mortal Kombat has always been...
and always will be...
For millennia, the forces of good and evil have been locked in eternal battle over the control of Earthrealm.
Some seek to use the tournament to destroy all that is good.
Others seek vengeance... power... or eternal life.
Time after time each individual threat has been vanquished...
and Earthrealm has enjoyed relative peace for many years.
But there is concern that Earth is once again in peril.
And this time, the threat of evil has two faces...
It is now known that the sorcerer Quan Chi has escaped from the Netherealm.
Since his escape, Quan Chi has unlocked the secret of the ancient Rune Stone,
... discovered the ancient undefeatable army of the long forgotten Dragon King,
... and most disturbing of all, formed an alliance with one of our deadliest enemies... Shang Tsung.
With their combined strength, they plotted to overpower the only two beings who could prevent their total domination of our two realms.
The first was the emperor of Outworld... Shao Kahn.
In a false show of allegiance to Shao Kahn, they sprung their attack...
They then travled to Earthrealm by way of a mystical portal known only to sorcerers and deities.
There they confronted Earth's mightiest warrior and champion of Mortal Kombat... Liu Kang.
"It has been Shang Tsung's greatest desire to consume the soul of Earthrealm's greatest warrior."
With Quan Chi's assistance, he achieved this goal...
Liu Kang is dead.
They have since returned to Outworld and are using the souls of conquered warriors to resurrect the Dragon King's undefeatable army.
Should they succeed, they will have the means to conquer Outworld... and eventually Earthrealm.
They will be unstoppable.
I can no longer stand idly by and watch this evil consume the world.
I have relinquished my status of Elder God to return to Earth and lead you all to battle against our old adversaries.
We must act now.
We must stop this Deadly Alliance!

- REVIEWS -

Justin's Review Graphics: (8/10) Very nice looking! Blood stays on the ground and everythings colorful. The game is in Mode 7 (Like Doom and Mario Kart) so the 3D look, looks nice, but theres still a lot of edgy parts. Another bad part is the fatalities. I don't think they look too great, but the gameplay is great.
Sound: (8/10) Everything is almost chrisp! You can hear the grunts, the names... everything, just fine. It can get a tad boring after hearing the same grunt/noise over and over though.
Play Control: (9/10) The controls are nice! Very nice. The only problem I have is when I'm playing 'Test Your Might'. You have to press the L and R buttons over and over to raise the bar, instead of the attack buttons (like in the console).
Satisfaction: (8/10) The 3D movement is great. The only things I don't like is the lack of new characters. Theres only 3 (Li Mei, Frost, and Kenshi). Also the Fatalities arn't that great (in my opinion)... the outcome of the everyones looks the same.

Paul's Review Graphics: (10/10) Certainly not perfect, but considering that this game is fully 3D using "Mode-7 effects", and not polygons, it's pretty amazing. Every other aspect, with the exception of the mini-games, looks just like the console versions.
Sound: (8/10) Ported very well from the console versions, but it is not put in right places! This may seem nit-picky, but I do not like hearing the music from one stage play on another (it's random)-- music is a major part in giving the stages' their "feel".
Play Control: (8/10) The regular moves and controlling your character are easy and responsive, but it is often hard to perform special moves (specifically the weapon moves) consistantly; and sometimes the character's will perform moves, even though you have not executed the correct inputs for those moves.
Satisfaction: (9/10) There are tons of alternative costume colors (which are just as good as second outfits) in the Krypt, there's two mini-games (although not as graphically pleasing as the console versions, they are still fun), and each character has illustrated ending.
