Mortal Kombat Gold
built 655 days ago
Graphically, Mortal Kombat Gold is the best looking Mortal Kombat to date, even out-performing the arcade versions. Each character is composed of thousands of polygons, making for some nice looking models. The textures are ... nice looking, giving the combatants the photo-realistic look of the previous titles while still remaining 3D. Backgrounds are sparse but adequate, occasionally giving you something interesting to look at during a match. However, it's hard to ignore the simple fact that the graphics are dated when compared to the rest of the Dreamcast's launch titles.

Mortal Kombat Gold is the game's first appearance on the Dreamcast and will probably be the final incarnation of the current form on any console. It's a little nostalgic too because it brings together all the old favourite characters, such as Sub-Zero and Sonya, (along with all their cheap attacks) for a total of over 20 playable fighters. There are ... all kinds of CG movies throughout the game and if you manage to beat it on more than one occasion, there are quite a few secret features hidden away waiting to be unlocked.

Despite appearing on a 128-bit system, Mortal Kombat Gold did not receive high marks for visual quality even though its character models for the fighters themselves were of higher quality than those seen in the home console ports of MK4. Game Revolution reviewed the game poorly as "The graphics are inexcusably horrible," and "it's quite a depressing let-down on Sega's 128-bit masterpiece, especially when compared to Soul Calibur." The weapons that characters can use during the game are "dull and uninteresting," and often have little to do with the character as every weapon is "either a sword, axe, or club."[8] IGN had similar bad reviews about Mortal Kombat Gold. In response to the poor weaponry, "readying your weapon is a slow process in which one can be hit any number of times during the attempt." Although they commented on the improvements from previous Mortal Kombat games, the lack of depth was considered somewhat inexcusable.[9] In other ways, due to loading times (even during battles, particularly in the case of Shinnok's impersonations) and glitch-laden effects, its quality was actually poorer.

Mortal Kombat Gold holds few surprises for anyone familiar with what series, or indeed their arcade Mortal Kombat 4 from which it's been converted. The graphics are suitably swanky, and there are more characters to choose from than ever before, but otherwise it's pretty much business as usual.

In Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Goro is intentionally portrayed as being evil as indicated by his dialogue in the wastelands. This same ... applies to the first movie. In both the film & Shaolin Monks, he is defeated by Johnny Cage.

The Elder Sub-Zero was originally killed by Scorpion at the end of the first Mortal Kombat tournament. In Shaolin Monks, they both survive the tournament itself, and Scorpion doesn't kill him until the tournament's aftermath.
