Product Description
Product description
This is the game Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the Playstation 1.
Review
Mortal Kombat, in all its incarnations, has always been about anticipation and mystery - bringing players back time and time again in search of brutal combat, secret moves, and hidden characters. And now in Mortal Kombat Trilogy the entire Mortal Kombat series (and more) is on one disk. Die-hard fans will lose their heads over all-new moves, finishing techniques, and a new secret character - Chameleon. Players won't find any improvement in terms of control, graphics, or sound from the Playstation edition of MK3, but they will find a heck of a lot more game.
In addition to the plethora of great-looking backgrounds and digitized characters, Mortal Kombat Trilogy ups the ante in terms of options. Players can do more than simply adjust the level of difficulty and turn off the graphic violence mode; now they can select "auto" combos, which make those difficult multi-button attacks much easier to perform. Gone too is the long loading delay from MK3 and UMK3 when Shang Tsung, the morphing character, switches identity. In Mortal Kombat Trilogy, the console loads two additional characters into memory - this means Tsung can now morph without delay. This pre-loading feature gets even faster and deeper when players select characters who are palette swaps. (An example of a palette swap would be the human male ninja character, who takes the form of the blue Sub-Zero, the yellow Scorpion, the green Reptile, and others. In essence this is the same character, but with slightly different attributes.) The new secret character, Chameleon, takes full advantage of palette swapping, and constantly shifts among the human, male ninja character forms. His morphs are ingenious enough, however, that most players will welcome yet another ninja into the fold.
While there's little doubt that the Mortal Kombat series is the best 2D fighting-game property ever, there is a bottom line. That is to say, Mortal Kombat Trilogy should be seen as a bonus for loyal fans before Mortal Kombat steps into the 3D arena (in next year's MK4). For these fans, Mortal Kombat Trilogy offers enough added elements to justify purchasing it. However, the Mortal Kombat series does have to move to the next level quickly, or it will become a fatality itself. --Hugh Sterbakov

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2021
The disk was in great condition and works wonders on the PS1 or PS2 very well.
Two things to consider before making your purchase:
1) The Nintendo 64 version does NOT have the final bosses (Shao Khan, Motrao, Kintaro, and Goro) as playable characters, it also does not have certain other characters (MK1 Kano, MK1 Raiden, MK2 Jax, MK2 Kung Lao, or Unmasked MK3 Sub-Zero) playable.
2) If you own PS1 disk version and a PS2 and you beat Shao Khan, who is the final boss, in arcade mode or you go through 8-Player Tournament, you canNOT select any of Shao Khan's treasures, your game will merely have a black screen. To solve this problem, reset the game in your PS2 system to resume Kombat gameplay (again) or just own an old PS1 system.
OK, I'm finally done with explaining Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Now, I really do think this game sucks, but I only gave it a 4 for one reason. I feel that this game is about a 3.8 and it's basically every Mortal Kombat rolled into this one except for Mortal Kombat 4. Each Mortal Kombat game in my opinion is around a 1.5 atleast in this game so basically it adds up and makes up the score of a 4. I really wanted to like this game, but as I popped it in to the faithful Playstation I got bored immediately. Please do yourself a favor and do not buy this game because it is only a waste of $20 and you can just rent it for $5. That's my final word on Mortal Kombat and I think that Midway needs to start turning Mortal Kombat around because if they keep on going the way they do .... I don't know what will happen, but it won't be good. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
