Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

I really tried to like this game because I'm a hard core, die hard fan of anything related to MORTAL KOMBAT.

The concept is great and so is the game play because the game has unique action sequences that will make you remember about the controls of MK and MK II. I truly enjoyed the fighting techniques because MK game-play have always been attractive for avid action and fighting games. The combo system is similar to MK III so you can't go wrong with the game-play.

I always thought I was playing a Chinese action movie. The scenarios are just great; dark, stylish, great atmosphere but best of all, a feeling of uncertainty when the evil characters appear.

The graphics are truly great! The digital graphics combined with 2D and 3D in some cases is really attractive and will make you enjoy the hard and difficult scenarios and enemies.

The sound is also pretty cool with martial arts music and some intense classical MK sounds.

My advice is, get this game but only if you are a fan of the MK games. Otherwise, play it with low expectations because if you are not into the world of MK, you will likely have a hard time trying to like it.

This is a great game. A change from the other MK games. It is adventure as well as head-to-head fighting. I'd suggest buying it.

This is a prequel Mortal Kombat game with all new game play.

You play as the legendary kombatant Sub-Zero, the Lin Kuei send him on a mission to collect elements for a sorcerer (and newly trusted ally) named Quan-Chi.

Gameplay: The game play is a cross between fighting and a plat former, very different to the previous Mortal Kombat games. There are puzzles to work out and you have to get through obstacles by timing your movements. Sub-Zero has all his special moves and combos intact and can even do his classic spine rip fatality.

Sound: The sound is basically average for this game, nothing special.

Graphics: Digitized sprites (Like MK1-3) crossed with 3D levels. I like the fact that they kept the digitized look and feel of MK.

Story: A great story! A good explanation of Sub-Zero's background.

Lastability: The game has 8 levels, except they will take lots of try's because of the high difficulty. After you finish it once there's nothing to do except do it all over again.

Controls: Not as dodgy as hyped up to be, the only bad thing is having a turn button which changes direction, but you get used to the controls quick.

I suggest trying it first, just remember to give it a chance before you hate it. The problem why a lot of people hate it is because it's damn hard, but I wouldn't want a game you could finish in 5 hours.

Only get if you're a hardcore fan of the series.

8/10

The "Mortal Kombat"-series used to be great, but the series has gone straight down the toilet, thanks to the poor quality of the newer games, games like "Mortal Kombat Mythologies"(MKM) MKM is a platform game with lame visuals and a very poor control system, the video-clips in the playstation-version were okay, but it is the gameplay that counts, and there isn`t a lot of gameplay to be found in this game. Avoid it!

2/10

This game is impossible to beat. The furthest I got without using passwords was to the god of wind. It was impossible to kill him. Even if you got his energy bar all the way down, he still killed you. I thought this would be a great game, but it was terrible. Hopefully Mortal Kombat: Special Forces will be better.
