Klassic!
This game is a blast! Played this several times when I was a kid. The cooperative mode is something else, it really makes your think why we don't have this feature more often. I want to play with people that are next to me.
One of the best coop games ever made! I remember lyu Kang and kung lao making awesome air combos or playing as Sub-Zero/Scorpion having identity crisis, thinking they are lyu Kang and kung lao. Guaranteed fun!
Awesome game, deserves to be preserved. Proof that Mortal Kombat can be more than just a fighting game. I know this game doesn't have a Windows port (honestly surprised to see it here), but WB, I know you spoke recently about licensing out IPs to other companies when it comes to gaming. I implore you, sit down with Nightdive Studios and talk about bringing this game (and maybe the 3d MK games) to the modern world. The MK fandom will go CRAZY.
An action adventure mortal kombat in full 3d is one thing but to get the whole experience with optional co-op is the stuff dreams are made of.
They even threw in some kombo attacks and a few other suprises. If this platform received this game, Armageddon, and Mortal Kombat 2011 my favorite MK Kollection would be Komplete.
I played this game when i was 8 years old and it's the main cause of why i love action and fighting games to this day. It's one of the best co-op games to play locally. I played with my brother all the time when we came back from school trying to beat every boss fight from those iconic Mortal Kombat characters and the single thought that i can't play this anymore since it's locked on the PS2 and OG Xbox crushes my soul. It's my third favorite videogame of all time to this day. Everytime Ed Boon (creator of Mortal Kombat) tweets about Shaolin Monks, it gets trending online because the demand for this game to be available on modern hardware is HUGE and every other company would've already released it again. I found most of my favorite videogame characters thanks to this game and i play the Mortal Kombar franchise consistently thanks to it.
I own the physical copy of this game, I still play it on and off throughout the year, very solid, rewarding beat-em up, with hilarious wonky gank but it's the good kind. Shame after all these years MK fans would rather have this on PC or at the very least MK: Deception on PC... hurry it up, I like the format that they did with this game, plus co-op was amazing too for the time.
I'll play it again.
I Used to play with a friend in my childhood, we always passed the level walking slow because they had a badass walk, another friend made me a Kung Lao of modeling clay, but my cousin turned him into a ball... I punched her belly sometime after Lmao, that´s a funny memory
the greatest underrated gem to ever exist: simple rpg elements, simple platforming, diverse multi kombat involving creative combos, multiple fatalities, secrets to discover, boss fights, unlockable characters, story & stages setting all around MK2, "more secrets", and with a cherry on top; "Co-op play". this is the true definition of what a video game is. if the gameplay doesn't speak for itself, then perhaps this little review will! Make this a thing GOG, you will have my instant buy!
P.S: maybe we can even fix up boss rush mode ;)
How I miss those days of getting up early on a rainy weekend with a good breakfast and turning on the PS2 and playing this enormous gem that the MORTAL KOMBAT saga gave us, I hope this masterpiece reaches GOG, I have faith
So so so many hours playing this game as a kid with my friends. I remember we were playing so many hours that we even forgot to eat, and my grandma would come to my room with a huge pile of French toast or pancakes for me and my friends!
