MK had just reached the park of its popularity with Mk3 and the movie having just come out a couple years before. MK was gonna be in 3d! My dad and I played it in the arcade and we instantly loved it. Then the n64 version came out and we played for hours for a week and hen we just stopped playing it. The game did not transition well to the newer consoles. We found ourselves going back and playing the MK trilogy for the n64 instead. Mk4 just isn’t that great. It feels like a 2d,3d, arena fighter. But it’s not quite that either. You can pick weapons and through hem at each other. There are still fatalities and what not but it’s just bland. The models are ugly and the new characters added are far from interesting. He endings are some of the most hilarious moments in gaming, so I suggest watching those online of you get the chance. Aside from that. It’s not worth checking out.
