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

Opening Snide Remarks: It would take Cartman to fall down, hit his head, and
think he is Ming Li to describe this game: Sucky Sucky.

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

Gameplay Descripion: Maybe you should sit down and play this slow, choppy
game. Maybe you should waste about 10 minutes of your life on this game...
Nah. They can't even fit all 7 characters in this load of lard. Even if you
are an extreme fan of MK, don't play this.

Liked: Playing as Goro.

Hated: Everything else.

****************************************************************************
Graphics Description: They try to make it look all digital and stuff like
the MK games on consoles. Just hand draw it, for goodness sake. Animation
is choppy, and slow. Mortal Kombat is NOT a one meg game.

Liked: Looks OK... if you don't move.

Hated: Everything else.

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

Sound/Music Description: Sounds like a remix of the series gone horribly
wrong. They have understimated Game Boy.

Liked: I liked how you could turn the sound all the way down.

Hated: Everything else.

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

Play Control/Game Design: When you press jump, your character does not jump.
All the moves are hard to perform. Finishers are impossible.

Liked: Pressing start is usually responsive. Usually.

Hated: Everything else.

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

Improve: Everything, Dangit. Everything.

RIYL: "Recommended if you like"? I don't recommend this game at all. Instead,
I will recommend something else to play. Play Killer Instinct instead. It has
ACM graphics, and still manages to stay playable, in fact, it's really fun!

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

Final Words: Sweet mother of Cartman don't buy this game. It will drive you
over the edge.
