I know this is going to sound like sacrilege but I was never a fan of the Mortal Kombat games.

Plus, the digitised graphics, which were supposed to be 'groundbreaking' and make us all go 'ooohhh, ahhh' were just really rubbish. They were so blocky and resembled just a few big, chunky pixels vaguely in the shape of a human. I tired of it pretty quickly I'm afraid to say but a few months after I stopped playing it I went back after finding cheat codes in a magazine to restore the censored gore. But even that was dumb!

A gallon of blood splattered into the air every time you punched someone and it just looked so stupid that it had no edge. And then later on I got the cheats for the finishing moves and 'babalities' and 'animalities' or whatever such nonsense. But by that point they just took it too far and I never went back to it again. The sequels never took my interest either.

Not the best fighting game by far.
