Don't look for MK Mythologies: Raiden anytime soon. The cool cut scenes are completely missing, replaced by static screens that look like Super NES rejects. I can't imagine how this game got approved by Nintendo for publishing. It has nothing that made the PlayStation version work for me. The sound and music aren't nearly as crisp and moving on the N Overall, this translation feels like a rush-job.
This is truly a shame too, since otherwise, it is a veritable carbon copy of last month's reviewed title. The scene transitions seem slightly cleaner, thanks to no load time, but that isn't enough to save MK Myth from a fatality of the most gruesome kind.
The quest remains true to the Mortal Kombat world, with many of the attacks we all know and love. For some reason, my uppercuts seem to miss 50 percent of the time, despite passing through what should be a solid hit. It seems that coli soon detection isn't done very well either. Well, that's enough ranting for now I suppose. MK Mythologies is no more than an average rental title, and not even the wrath of Shao Khan could change my mind.
MK Mythologies has the coolest premise playing through a side-scrolling action title with a fighting game character , but the execution just doesn't fly at all The stage graphics can be nice sometimes, but the gameplay is very repetitive there's not nearly enough variety in the enemies , and the control is terrible.
The story is kinda cool, and the severely hacked cinemas are neat, but that's about all MKM has to offer. Better luck next time. I understand what Midway was trying to do with MK Mythologies, but the results are anything but stellar. First, the game is more difficult than it had to be simply because you have to hit a button to flip your character.
That to me is not very intuitive. The character animation is very stiff and awkward and the graphics are only average for a 2-D action game. Granted I'm not a fan of MK, but you can find better action games on the N Besides some nicer-looking graphics and textures, MK Mythologies on the N64 is essentially the same as the PlayStation version.
One of the things I miss is the FMV sequences even though they are cheesy. The control is still the worst part of the game--why hit a button to turn around even if it's to maintain a certain style? I think the idea is excellent but it sure wasn't executed right. I'm sure it can be done, but not with this one. Love it or hate it, Mortal Kombat and its subsequent sequels have met with outstanding success.
From the moment the gruff voice first announced 'Finish him', a nation of gameplayers was hooked, computer-generated violence changed forever and now no self-respecting beat-'em-up can be seen out in public without at least one horrific fatality per character and enough blood to keep the Red Cross going for months.
However, there is only so far you can go with a beat-'em-up. After all, adding new characters and new moves is all very well, but after a while, people begin to realise that it's becoming very much money for old rope. And so a newer, better Mortal Kombat is waiting in the wings, with new characters, new moves, and this time, a new dimension. That is to say, a third dimension. Before this wonderous game arrives though, we are offered something which is a bit of a compromise.
It's not 3-D, but then it's not strictly 2-D either. If you've ever played a Mortal Kombat game - and unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last five years, you must have - then you'll know that the games usually have fairly involved storylines, with each character in the game nursing a deep-seated hatred of pretty much every other character in the game. You know the sort of thing: 'Johnny Cage had pursued the evil Scorpion for many years, ever since the heartless ninja had broken into Cage's house one night and cruelly decapitated his favourite gerbil.
Now Cage has tracked the deadly oriental assassin to the competition in the Outworld, where he can finally avenge his beloved rodent, and perhaps save the human race from extinction if he has some time left afterwards.
If this is the kind of thing that you're into, then you're onto a winner already. The plot to MKM: Sub-Zero reads like something you might get if you locked a hundred monkeys in a room with a hundred typewriters and asked them to re-write Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings. Basically, if you'll remember, in Mortal Kombat 2 we met Shang Tsung, who, it turned out, was the ultimate ruler of the outworld, a position previously thought occupied by Goro, the four-armed chap.
Well now it turns out that Shang Tsung isn't actually the ultimate ruler of the Outworld either, and it is in fact a bloke called Shinnok. He's a fallen Elder God who has been taking things easy off in a holiday dimension somewhere and has, come back home to I sort things out along with a sidekick sorceror named Quan Chi I do wish they'd give these people proper names - it plays hell with my spellchecker.
Shinnock, having seen what humans have done to his Outworld, and also slighly annoyed that someone's named a large two-engined helicopter after him, intends to conquer the Earth. Quite where Sub-Zero fits into all this isn't immediately clear, but that doesn't matter.
All you need to know is that you've got to jump, kick and ice-blast your way through eight huge but relatively linear levels, find three magical items on each stage, and recover an ancient amulet which Shinnock's apparently quite fond of. By now, assuming you haven't gotten fed up with all the Mortal Kombat history and wandered off to play Street Fighter, you may have realised that this isn't your usual run of the mill Mortal Kombat game.
In fact, it's MK on the move. For rather than simply being a beat-'em-up, this game could best be described as a platform-cum-beat-'em-up-cum-adventure game - effectively three games in one! The general gameplay revolves around making your way through the Netherealm, a feat you accomplish by moving from one end of a level to another whilst negotiating various platforms, traps and precipices. This is obviously the platform element.
Along the way you meet various assorted unfriendly inhabitants of said Netherealm who you must defeat with your finally honed martial arts techniques - hence the beat-'em-up element. The unusual part, though, is the moves themselves, for they must be learnt. Now, when I say 'learnt', I don't mean learnt in the usual way of beat-'em-ups, whereby you study a mass of directional instructions more complex than the programme code for the actual game itself, following which each move takes roughly ten minutes and three sets of hands to initiate.
No, because you see Sub-Zero, despite being a top thief and assassin, apparently doesn't know all his old MK moves, this being a prequel or something. So he has to learn them all over again, and he does this by gaining experience points. These are earned in combat or even Kombat with the enemy, with more points scored for harder enemies - that's 'hard' as in 'well' - and also for pulling off combinations. Once you've earned a certain number of points, a special move icon appears, and by referring to the status screen, you can then learn the button combinations needed to execute this new move.
Add to this the Tablets of Truth, which can be picked up and read to teach you tricks and techniques to help you through each level, and you've got the adventure element. The game itself looks more or less identical to the PlayStation version; in fact it may very well have been a direct port from that console. It actually loses out by not having the FMV sequences present in the PSX version, and the sound quality isn't quite as impressive - the PlayStation presumably taking its sound from the CD.
However, the N64 sound is still pretty good, and if you're one of those people who hates sitting through hours of FMV - and in which case, good choice buying an N64 - then you'll be pleased to know it's been replaced by static shots which can be skipped through quickly.
The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the n64 OS and software. Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. Once you have finished downloading Mupen , extract the downloaded. After, double click the mupen A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator. Navigate to the downloaded. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
