Title: Not bad, for an arcade translation
Review: The combo system is intact, the frame rate is intact, but something had to give. (For those who don't know, sorry folks that you are, MK4 was originally an arcade game using truly awesome proprietary 3D hardware.)In this case, it was the polygon count. Close up, some of these characters are just UGLY. The characters' polygons often clip and sometimes just disappear; fortunately, this only affects the look, not the feel, of the game.The standard "home version" additions are here -- endurance mode (harkening back to MK1), practice modes with move lists, and Reiko finally has a "real" ending to his storyline. But most people are simply worried about the game's playability and arcade accuracy.On those fronts, at least, it wins big.It may be ugly, but it's a lot of fun.
Is the review positive or negative?
