Mortal Kombat 3

"Mortal Kombat 3 Review"

Mortal Kombat 3 is in fact the best Mortal Combat game that is out for SNES. With the most characters in the game ever! In this Mortal Kombat everything is more interactive then the previous two games. With better gameplay, controls, graphics and much much more this game has exceeded expectations.

Story
The story is not really anything. No videos no cut scenes its just a tournament where you have to beat a number of people in order to advance. They tell you nothing about a story. You just start off at easy opponents then they start to get harder and harder as you gradually increase. So if you are looking for a game with a great story too it this game is not for you.

Story: 3/10

Graphics
Graphics is really something to talk about in this game. Where SNES has really taken a step up in production of there games in this game. This is in my opinion one of the most advanced game in graphics in its time era. This game has really stepped up in graphics from Mortal Kombat 1 and II. Overall the graphics are great but of course I am talking about it being good for that year of games and below.

Graphics: 8/10

Sound
The sounds of this game surpassed many peoples expectations. The sound is overall good with weird tec hno music in the background. There is not much to say about the sound except they did a pretty good job at the sounds of punches and moves and everything. So sound is overall pretty good.

Sounds: 7/10

Controls
Controls in this game are fairly decent where you can figure most controls out by yourself. It is not like most games where it has a move list in the menu. You will have to push buttons till you get a special move. Basically how I found out the moves is by pushing buttons a lot at the same time for trying to get a special move is very hard if you don't know what it is. If you want to get this game for the fatality's then you got to be a expert at the controls because they are extremely hard to do. I suggest push buttons right when he says "finish him". The good thing is when you do pull one off it is quite rewarding too watch and have several different endings. Very entertaining. All in all the controls are not that good.

Controls: 5/10

Fun Factor
The fun factor in this game is not so fun. Where as you will get tired of playing the computer which is sometimes very hard and it will make you angry. If you have a friend over plug in the other controller because this game is multi player. Multi player makes the fun factor a little better and you can play hours of this game with a friend but all in all this game will get boring....fast.

Fun Factor: 4/10

Rent or buy?
Rent. Thats all I have to say is to rent it. You should not go out and buy this game. This game is very aggravating and difficult at times. Rent it first and see what you think of it before you buy it.

Side Notes
Overall this game is pretty decent and fun on the first week of playing. Or if you are like some people that wont stop till you beat the game this game is for you.
