Summary

What a horrible game

The Good

Mortal Kombat Mythologies is the first MK game that isn't a fighter. It's a spinoff game that invloves Sub-Zero trying to get some artifact thing back from some other people for his clan. Amazingly, it is the worst game ever.

The Bad

First of all, MKM was placed on the N64. After the horrid MK Trilogy I thought Midway could finally realise that they weren't dealing with a 2D world anymore. Still, MKM clings onto 2D graphics. The N64 supports polygons for a reason!

MKM consists of the worst, worst, WORST graphics ever seen on a N64 and even maybe the snes. The animations are limited, and Sub-Zero himself is so pixelated looking that I wonder how they ever pulled this off. The backrounds, though seem to be more 3D, but it doesn't matter, because Sub Zero only moves left and right!

The controls are horrible. The attacks and buttons have been placed all over the N64 pad, its impossible to play with them. Who's idea was it to turn around by pressing a button!?

The game plays slow and sluggish. The game slows down quite often, enough to be very annoying. Sub Zero moves slow mostly, and all his enemies aren't any difficult to kill.

The Bottom Line

I say that is you're looking for a game where you move left and right and beat people up, get a SNES game like Maximum Carnage because those are much better than this game. I give MKM:SZ a poor 1 / 5
