I was very skeptical to buy this video game after reading all the negative reviews on it here on Amazon. People were calling the game slow and saying that it lagged but I was shocked to hear this since it is a cartridge game and doesn't load. People have been spoiled by technology today and people forget how things used to be but this game is amazing and it's fun and even though it doesn't match up to Mortal Kombat today is still a classic and a must have.
