Newcomers will love it and old school die-hards will never settle for anything less again! Supurb graphics, the maximum choice of characters. (even multiple versions of the same character since they changed them between versions)

Very Exciting Game but...there are glitches

This is a very exciting game. There are so many charachters and special moves that out does other characters. My personal favorites are Sub-zero, Rain and Kintaro. But, the documentation that comes with the CD dosn't have all the special moves for all the characters. You got to download that from the Web. Without these it is very difficult to fight Mortal Kombat. Also, In case of Smoke and Shao Kahn the special moves doesn't work properly. These are only minor glitches and should not hamper your enjoyment though.

Great game with only minor set-backs

I think that mortal kombat trilogy is the best fighting game. I like the way every character and background from the first three were included in the game. Although when playing as Shang Tsung, morphs take a couple minutes to load and this can get very irritating. Overall, great game.

MKT is a pretty good game. I was a bit dissapointed in the creativity of the attacks, finding every character to move the same, but I was spoiled by playing Tekken 3 before this one. The loading time was the only big drawback, but it gave me a chance to read the character bios between battles.

Old school rules

Before there was Tekken and Soul Blade and the rest of the current fighters there was Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat was easily the best in terms of richness of the game. The characters moved fluidly, the voices were understandable, and there was blood. The series progressed nicely with great additions and secrets added every step of the way.

This title is a great, nostalgic look back at those times. Being able not only to play any of the characters from the first 3 games, but also as their different incarnations is huge. When the Genesis/Super Nintendo became obsolete I feared the loss of these games. But with their release on Playstation, especially in this title, I am happy. The game play is great and packed full of surprises. As far as 2D fighting games goes, this is the best and is better than many first generation 3D fighters. If you liked this in the arcade, you'll like it here. Granted, it has the usual translation problems with the buttons in the wrong places and more difficulty moving the stick, but you get those problems with any console game.

Best game ever!

I have a LOT of history with MK. It was my first game (not really, but the first game I really got into) and I remember playing all three installments until I got blisters in my thumbs. I remember seeing the movie on opening, then being letdown by the sequel. I remember the failings of Mythologies and Special Forces, but most of all I remember this game. MK 1-4 are the best MK games,and while this doesn't sport the flashiness of Mk4, it's better because of the nostalgia and the characters. I mean, the gameplay is awesome-turn on the blood, turn on the option where you get your life back, put it in 2 on 2 mode, and turn on the four round matches, and you got 20-30 minute galas with four characters. This would be a load of memories if it didn't play well-however, it plays great. However, being spoiled to the SNES fast loading, when you're totally pumped, the loading in between matches can be a little much. HOWEVER-(and this is a big HOWEVER) this game can't play on PS2! Dang! Why not? It would totally speed it up, crisp the graphics a little, and plus I wouldn't have to have to hook my old PS whenever I wanna play this. Thankfully, MK5 is on the way. This can't tarnish the greatest fighting game ever (only Tekken can come close to it's awesomeness) and can't tarnish it's great memories. From the creepy announcer guy, the font of MORTAL KOMBAT with the little dragon, from the music, from the characters, to Goro in all his glory, MKT is the greatest game EVER.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy the bomb?

MKT is really a great game! It takes all of the best features from MK1-3 and translates them flawlessly onto the Playstation platform. This allows die-hard fans like me to play it without the Sega or SNES. However there are two glitches that kind of bother me. One is the fatalities. Sub-Zero's old rip of the head is cut out, and there is no ice grenade to name a few problems. The second is the difficulty level. No matter if you chose Easy and Novice for the tournament, the computer will tear you up in less than 30 seconds once you get up toward the end of the latter! Even if you are Kintaro, Shao Kahn will destroy you. I still haven't beat it. Other than that for [price], it is definently worth it. :)

The best I've seen

I have played MK for years. From the arcade to Sega Genesis. I have found this installment to be fantastic. The fighting arenas are superb and the fighters are great. I mean, 36 fighters to choose from, WoW! Buy this game if you have PSX, you won't be dissapointed.

Best Fighting Game for PS1

This game rocks! I remember all the Mortal Kombat fighting games in arcades when I was in junior high. They were so awesome, the blood and those finishing moves are so cool! Then recently, I saw the Mortal Kombat movies on TV for the first time! They were so funny yet cool and brought back a lot of memories and got me all nostalgic. I decided I had to get this game. Then I realized that this game was out in 1996! That's 5 years ago! I searched all online stores but none have them and I dont want used ones either because they dont have the orginal cover and instruction. Then I called many stores trying to find this game but failed. So I gave up.... Then a month later I went back to this game shop that I previously checked and they had a used mint condition Mortal Kombat Trilogy with everything! I was excited and bought it immeditaly. (...) This game was so difficult to acquire but I guess I got lucky. If you can find this game then buy it for sures, period.

SWEEEET!
