Most video game fans know that many games have attempted to venture into the realm of film and television, and for the most part have experienced disastrous results, both in the hollywood aspect, and then alienating the fanbase. As many game fans know, most movie-based games have sucked…horribly. That is the exact same story with video games that have turned into movies. The list goes on and on, from Street Fighter, to Doom, to Mortal Kombat, to Max Payne. The movies are forced to create a story that appeals to the general public, for a game that appeals to hardcore gamers and a niche market.
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
The fighting genre is full of mini-games, from Street Fighter's car destruction to Tekken Ball. Here's the best Mortal Kombat mini games.
Cultured Vultures: We've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games across the series' history. Special Forces is clearly number one.
My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.
That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories
MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.
I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
Been enjoying this series so far. Just wish the episodes were longer than 6 minutes.
Yea I would hardly call it the future, each episode is painfully short, they've barely done anything but character intros so far, for most fans its just a rehash. It's good, don't get me wrong, but I have a hard time calling it a series, more like introduction clips.
well looking at all the episodes that have aired so far only 3 come in at just over 8 min...anyhow, that's what it's supposed to be in introduction to the characters again. keeping in mind that they don't have a studio or network backing them up, i'd say it's pretty well done...and being that it's only airing online less than 15min. is fine since most people tend to view things that are shorter than 10 min online anyway.
yeah I like Legacy, love anything MK mythos.
