Mortal Kombat 4

Tis one of the games I grew up with, and it was my first MK title to have ever played. Great nostalgia trip just seeing it on here, and honestly, it was a great game for it's time. Still is. Bless GOG for adding it.

I was a really big fan of the original 3 MK games having played them all first at the arcade and later on home console & MS-DOS. Personally I switched over to the Tekken series after that for the better gameplay and more imaginative characters and backgrounds. MK4 did a respectable job in the graphics department, maintained the excellent music and Sound FX the series has been known for (the main reason I bought this on GOG was to revisit the soundtrack - there are 14 .ogg files in the Music subfolder which were originally redbook audio tracks on CD). The gameplay just wasn't as tight anymore with MK4. Try picking Sub Zero and launch and ice attack - see how long it takes for him to conjure up and actually release the ice and you'll see what I mean. I pretty much gave up on the MK series up until Mortal Kombat Komplete was released on PC (a game which I do recommend). I do recall enjoying the Mortal Kombat Mythologies spinoff game and would buy it if released on GOG but I have no expectation since there was no PC version

As a massive fan of the first 3 Mortal Kombats, with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 being my favorite fighting game of all time, the change in appearance and gameplay that came with Mortal Kombat 4 doesn’t exactly make it my favorite game of all time. Gameplay wise the series never fully recovered again until Mortal Kombat 9 (2011). I did own it on the N64 back in the day, and it’s okay if you just want a game to unwind with, you can put it on easy and blaze through the game just for the corny endings. My favorite part about the game and the only thing missing from Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, is the addition of the character Tanya, modeled after the beautiful Lia Montelongo (Sindel UMK3), she’s been my main in the game ever since it came out. Out of respect for it being the last Mortal Kombat game to hit arcades, and out of nostalgia for playing it on the N64, it was worth revisiting.

Perfect

Version gog is very good!
