"MK3 for Master System!!! What???"

Yes you heard me MK3 for Master System. You must be saying to yourself ''How???'' Well I will tell you the whole story.

In the year 1995, Midway (A respected video-game company since the early 70's) was trying to port there wonderful, bloody, brutal 'Mortal Kombat' series to every system available so they can make as much 'Green'
as possible. People might not know this but the SMS was still popular in Europe, so Midway came up with the idea to make it for the SMS (what other way can you make some green).

Okay, okay, you'll be asking me ''Is it any good? It's Mortal Kombat it has to be good'' Well...YOUR WRONG as you will see it this review.

Story: 1 The same thing as the other MK3 ports.
You are a chosen fighter from Earth Realm, trying to defeat the evil Shao Kahn to save the world ''blah, blah, blah'' I
heard this story so many times before.

Graphics: 4 Probably the best part of the game I can tell you they suck. C'Mon this was 1995, not 1985.
Phantasy Star was made in 1987 its graphics were amazing for an 8-bit game. The movement of the characters are so slow, and sluggish that I can't even bare. So don't buy this game for the graphic (nor for anything else) Ever.

Sound/Music: 1 You call this music. Even for an
8-bit system they suck. All I hear are beep bops. The sound is horrible, my God. It gives me nightmares every night. Seriously.

Characters: 1 The characters are the same as in the other MK3 ports, excupt that you have mush less players.
I won't go into specifics that much, but you don't even have Motaro, Liu Kang, or any secret characters. What's Mortal Kombat without Liu Kang. Just like MK: Deadly Alliance (which also sucked in my opinion).

Fun Factor: 1 Very low... You know why? Because this game is bad. Not just bad, but Michael Jackson ''Bad.''
No there is not fun in this game at all. With bad characters, sluggish movement, little color, bad music/sound, and horrible graphics. Good Luck trying to find fun in this game.

Buy or Rent Neither. Not just because this game sucks, it's because you won't be able to find this game anywhere. I mean this is one of the rarest game in the world (In my opinion), it was only released in Europe and Japan. Good luck finding it you'll need it.

Final Note Don't ever play this game. It is a waste of money, even if someone is willing to give it to you for free. Just run away, because the game carries an evil curse. You will never be the same again. In short: this game sucks.
