Shao Kahn has been defeated at the hands of Earth's warriors, and now Shinnok has escaped to his confines in the Netherealm. The war has resumed once again. This time, the battle CAN be won by mortals!
REAL WEAPON KOMBAT
Characters can pull out weapons that can be thrown, dropped or even picked up by your opponent and used against you.
INTERACTIVE BACKGROUNDS:
Objects in the background can be picked up and thrown at your opponents.
SECRETS AND KODES:
Mortal Kombat 4 is packed with hidden characters, kodes and other features that aren't even in the arcade game!
3D FATALITIES
Watch as brand new and classic fatalities take on a completely different meaning in 3 dimensions!
3D GAMEPLAY:
Characters can now move in 3D to dodge projectiles or pick up weapons.
Enter the sinister 3D realm of Mortal Kombat 4. Shinnok is ready... are you?
Nostalgically speaking, I always fondly remember the first 3 MK titles.
But even though I played MK4 very briefly back then, it's really an underappreciated gem.
It simplified the combo systems of MK3 and improved the responsiveness of the commands making the game as a whole much more dynamic.
It was a brilliant sequel, I had a lot of fun playing it again after so many years.
Definitely Recommend!
I was really happy when this was released on GOG. AMAZING and one game like Trilogy that I did NOT expect to see. In all fairness to the series this was a good entry into the series but by no means the best game out of the series. The addition of the weapons, the 3-D playing field, the new characters (which some were NOT good additions at all, more on that later) and last but not least the addition of both Quan-Chi and Shinnok which were AWESOME choices made this a damn decent addition to the arcade series in retrospect.
Onto details, while the weapons were a unique part of the game the weapons were not my favorite. I thought the weapons chosen could have been better but honestly it was a first so I cut them some slack about that. I really liked Sub-Zero's club, Scorpions Sword and Raiden's War Hammer. I thought the gameplay was improved and actually enjoyed the 2-D in 3-D player movement. I thought returning characters such as Lui Kang, Johnny Cage (YEAH!!!), Raiden, Scorpion and Sub-Zero fit nicely alongside the returning Fujin (from Mortal Kombat Mythologies - Sub-Zero) - I absolutely HATED Jarek and fought a wave of nausea and cringe everytime his ending played followed by gut busting laughter.
I really hope that GOG might perhaps make Mortal Kombat: Gold an official release as it wasd far improved graphically, through game play, enhanced fatalities and the addition of being able to play Goro was AWESOME! I had more fun with Mortal Kombat: Gold more than I did part 4 and really it was a far better more enhanced experience overall. Hopefully we get more Mortal Kombat surprises in the future and this coming out and then Mortal Kombat Trilogy releasing the same year was too much to take and I absolutely LOVE GOG. Thank you guys, I look forward to many more happy gaming days with GOG and Mortal Kombat 4 and Trilogy play times. This game still rocks and overall I LOVE the series. Thank you for releasing these games this year!
My first MK was MK1 obviously when I was 4 yearold but MK4 is something else to me, I remember the time I was 9 with friends sitting and suddenly one of them came back with his parents and yelled "I BOUGHT THE NEWEST MORTAL KOMBAT" and we rushed to my PC cause it was the only one with CD-ROM.
We installed the game and started looking for our favourite characters from MK3, yet we couldn't find most of them but then the amazing 3D experience and super nice effects such as steam coming around Sub-Zero and weapons just got us badly into this game and we kept playing it until we were 19 almost EVERYDAY, same friends!!!!
I honestly think this was the best MK ever made because it was completely balanced, all characters almost had same combo, there was no 50/50 and everything was set for those who are not even fighting fans but wanna play and beat others. Too bad MK X and MK11 destroyed these franchies...
I have this game on CD, I only bought it on GOG to post a review for it <3
