****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I never thought the Game Boy could handle a Mortal 
Kombat port.  Let's see if I'm wrong.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Have you ever played Mortal Kombat?  If you have, then 
you know what to expect.  If not, MK2 is a tournament fighter where you can
perform fatalities on your battered opponents.  I am amazed that this game 
plays just as good as the SNES version did.  This game is based on the best
version of Mortal Kombat.

Liked: Awesome gameplay.

Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Mortal Kombat 2 looks awesome.  This is the best
looking fighter on the Game Boy.  Yes, it even looks better than Killer 
Instinct.  The characters are large and well-detailed.  The graphics are 
crystal clear.

Liked: Detailed characters.

Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Mortal Kombat's audio is the only segment of the 
game that's not amazing.  There's only 1 song that is repeated over and
over. The sound fx are okay but that's all.  The audio won't get on your
nerves, but everything else in this game is great. 

Liked: Nothing.

Hated: That there's only 1 song.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Mortal Kombat controls well, especially since the 
GB only has 2 action buttons.  The game design is great, as this game plays
exactly like the SNES version did.

Liked: Great controls.

Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Game Boy Color graphics.(See Mortal Kombat 4) 

RIYL: any Mortal Kombat game, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter series

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Mortal Kombat 2 is the best Game Boy fighting game that I have
ever played.  This is an amazing game on the Game Boy.  It's definitely a 
must buy.
