Mortal Kombat 3

The Good
MK3 is, in all respects, just plain better than Mortal Kombat 2. Better, smoother graphics, faster, greatly enhanced game engine and reasonably good music make this perhaps the first in the Mortal Kombat series I actually liked.

The Bad
Still, it remains the same pointless blood-above-all, lack-of-decent-plot sidescrolling fighting game. Some characters are horribly unbalanced (Kabal is one example) and the game gets tiresome real quick.

The Bottom Line
An immense improvement over its prequel, but still lacks the certain something that would make it a truely good game.
