Endurance matches make their return, which I would welcome except UMK3 has juiced up the AI in perhaps the most irritating way known to man. Midway axed the bank stage, and the game didn't lose anything with its departure. New to the series, the red ninja Ermac (rumored to be running around inside MK1) makes his debut appearance with an interesting telekinetic slam move that leads into juggles (and also one of his Fatalities.) From there, the originality and inspiration ends, as the rest of his arsenal is either typical, ripped from Scorpion, or non-existent (more on that later.) Ultimate MK3 adds a few additional venues that dramatically expands the MK3 world - a netherrealm stage, a desert stage, a throne room for Kahn. Scorpion's spear, Classic Sub-Zero's ground ice, and Kitana's fanwave have not lost their edge. Unlike Kung Lao and Liu Kang, however, at least their old moves have not deteriorated. Kitana, Scorpion, Reptile, Mileena, and Classic Sub-Zero unfortunately do not gain much (if anything) in the way of additional moves. Unfortunately, all the previous animalities remain unchanged. Jade? A cat that kills in an appropriate cartoony fashion. Scorpion changes to a penguin and drops an explosive egg. Kitana transforms into a bunny and goes Monty Python on 'em. No longer tinted bright inappropriate colors, they take on a more a distinct (and desperately needed) comedic edge. The new characters sport far superior animalities to the rest of the cast. Kitana's kiss of death now stretches her victims out before they explode (bleh), Reptile eats more than his prey's head (eh), Mileena spits nails (riiiiiight), and (my favorite) Scorpion summons his defeated opponent to the netherrealm where his clan goes to town as the screen fades to black. With the new characters come new Fatalities, Friendships, Animalities - fatalities that mark a slight improvement over the existing MK3 Fatalities. And lastly, Human Smoke playable via button input. Midway demoted Smoke from unlockable character to standard character, and introduced three brand new Ultimate Kombat Kodes that will unleash Mileena, Ermac, and Classic Sub-Zero. Also, MK2's hidden female, Jade, now playable. ![]() Most prominent: the return of Kitana, Reptile, and Scorpion. Toned-down overkill that ruined both Sub-Zero and Kabal. Keep your guard-up and you just might survive the fight of your life in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.You could, I guess, call this game Mortal Kombat 3.5. Incredible motion-capture graphics and CD quality sound create an unmatched experience. You can uppercut someone, causing them to hit the ground hard and crashing through to the bottom floor, you can knock someone off a bridge, causing them to land on a pit of spikes, and much more.īattle the computer, fight in two-on-two matches, or enter an eight-fighter tournament, the choice is yours. There are a variety of new levels, some of which are interactive. Some fighters are returning favorites with improved moves and combinations while other contenders are new. There are two bosses that are unlockable, as well as additional characters. Now a new champion must arise from our world that will fight to the bitter end and put an end to Shang Tsung's ambitions.Ĭhoose from than 23 playable characters, such as Reptile, Cyrax, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Jax, Katana, Sonya, and more. ![]() For centuries, Shang Tsung of the Outworld has sought to control the Mortal Kombat tournament for his own ends.
