The last Mortal Kombat to hit arcades 3/5
As a massive fan of the first 3 Mortal Kombats, with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 being my favorite fighting game of all time, the change in appearance and gameplay that came with Mortal Kombat 4 doesn’t exactly make it my favorite game of all time. Gameplay wise the series never fully recovered again until Mortal Kombat 9 (2011).
I did own it on the N64 back in the day, and it’s okay if you just want a game to unwind with, you can put it on easy and blaze through the game just for the corny endings.
My favorite part about the game and the only thing missing from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, is the addition of the character Tanya, modeled after the beautiful Lia Montelongo (Sindel UMK3), she’s been my main in the game ever since it came out.
Out of respect for it being the last Mortal Kombat game to hit arcades, and out of nostalgia for playing it on the N64, it was worth revisiting.
