This is probably biased as fuck because I play this shit so much as a kid (and teenager as well...and adulthood), but this is probably the best MK of that generation and not only that because you can mention the most notorious positive things about this game. But the most underrated one is probably how goofy this game is.
I kid you not the cutscene after the Jade, Kitana and Milenna boss fight is probably one of the most funny cutscenes that I have seen.
But yeah I really like this game so fuck it.
