MK 3 is not a bad game (critics, take note). It's just not original enough (like Tekken) or deep enough (like SF) to warrant space on the casual Genesis gamer's shelf. Die-hard fans will also notice the flaws will also notice the flaws in this version right away.

In conclusion, Mortal Kombat III is a well rounded fighter in its own right. It doesn't live up to the legacy of Mortal Kombat II, because of its lack of interesting and “cool” characters. On its own, Mortal Kombat III stands to the test of time as a great Genesis title. Unfortunately at the time of its release, the Genesis system could not hold against the competition in this cutting edge genre.

MK3's gameplay is admittedly much faster than MK2 - probably in response to all of the Street Fighter Turbo games it had to compete against. Mortal Kombat 3 isn't bad as 2D fighters go, but most fans of the series have mixed feelings about it - and justifiably so. My friend Chris even contends this game forever tainted the legacy of the franchise.
