Mortal Kombat 3

The Good
This is a great genesis fighter. I have played the other 2 (mk1 and mk2) and I like this one just as much. It has whole lot of new characters, but to do that, they had to get of some old ones. The ones they added, I thought were very good additions to the mortal kombat collection. They also added a choose your destiny mode, where you could choose how hard the game is, along with the change difficulty setting in the options menu.

The Bad
The main problem I had with this game is the controls, I hated them. They were completely different than the mk2 version. When I first played the game I couldnt do a uppercut. I then found out that for some moves (such as the uppercut), you have to push two buttons at once. That doesn't seem complicated right now, but when your getting pounded in the ground and can't do a simple move, it gets fustrating. Don't get me wrong, you will get used to the new fighting system, it could just possibly take a little while.

Other than that, its a great game!

The Bottom Line
Its a great fighting game, and while I think the second mortal kombat is a little better, this one is still very fun in my opinion. So if you can find it now for a decent price, you should possibly consider it. I don't know if many people would this game anymore, since it's about ten years old. It's 2005 and I still like it.
