I bought this game having played the original on the Sega Genesis. I didn’t realize new gen systems like the ps3 have to smooth out the graphics because these are some terrible graphics for the ps1. With that said, perhaps I’m getting old, but this game gives me carpal tunnel syndrome because you have hit, duck, slash, defend, and change tactics for every opponent. Definitely harder than Tekken, but slightly easier than Gundam Battle Assault. It’s cool kind of having all the characters available, but I think making you earn some of them would be more rewarding. Can’t knock this immortal franchise that time and time again has some cool characters with awesome moves!

While the game looks refurbished it clearly must have something else wrong with it. We tried changing the channels on our TV, checking our PS2 with other games, and still all we got was a 'No Signal' for this one despite the fact our other games work perfectly.

I've been a fan of Mortal Kombat ever since I was a little kid, and these games were still in the arcade. I remember playing them at home with all of my friends, as well. The best in the series is still MKII. This game (MK Trilogy) is technically the 2nd expansion/re-release of MK3 (after Ultimate MK3). Using the gameplay and character models and setting/story of MK3, this game adds ALL of the characters from the previous two installments. It's a good game overall. But a little too unbalanced, which has always been a problem with all 3 versions of MK3. It's also a little stiff, which is a problem created by the use of digitized images of actual people instead of animated sprites. It's not as good as MKII, as far as fluid controls and the overall enjoyment factor. And much like the original trilogy, it lacks the in-depth storyline of the later games (MK4 - MK: Armageddon, and now the reboot which actually acts as MK9). But it's still a good game. And it's the only game to feature 36 (THAT'S RIGHT 36) MK characters in their ORIGINAL DIGITIZED FORM (later games like MK: Armageddon would feature 62-63 characters depending on the console). Definitely worth getting, if you're a fan of the series or a new player looking to check out some kick ass games of the past.Read full review
Mortal Kombat Trilogy is basically a collection of all the characters from the first three Mortal Kombat games thrown into a huge tournament together. It allows you to play as anyone--even Shao Kahn and Goro. The action is extremely fast at times and matches can get very challenging very quickly. There's tons of gore, especially with the fatality moves, but there's also plenty of silliness with Babalities, Animalities, and even Friendships. (...FRIENDSHIP??) One drawback to this game is the loading times. Normally I'm pretty patient about loading times, but when the matches start to end in less than ten seconds they start to annoy you, especially when you're fighting someone you keep dying against. Anyway, it's Mortal Kombat. Great fun for 2 players, pretty tricky for one.Read full review
Mortal Kombat Trilogy was released in the year of 1996. At the time, the Sony Playstation gaming scene was booming. When this game was released; it was the pinnacle of fan service, to the Mortal Kombat fans of old. It offered every character ever involved in the Mortal Kombat Universe, from 1992-1995. For the first time in MK history, boss characters were playable. The MK3 engine was used in this MK iteration, but was fine-tuned to balance out the characters. Brutalities and Animalities were added to the character's finishing moves list; sans the boss characters. Two modes of play also exist. they are 2 on 2 and 8 player tournament. 2 on 2 mode plays the same as 1 on 1 just in a tag-team fashion. 8 player tournament is like a 1 player game, but allows a second player to participate. Both 1 player and 8-man tournament mode offers treasures after a completion of either modes. They're dubbed "Shao Kahn's Treasures". Depending on which tower you choose, in 1 player mode, affects the amount of treasures you can choose from. Novice tower offers the least, Warrior offers a bit more, and Champion offer a lot more. However, the Champion tower doesn't allow to choose all of the treasures. Only successful completion of the 8-man tournament allows the player to choose any of the given treasures. The soundtrack of the game is once again composed by Dan Forden. Most know him as the little head figure popping out the side of the screen, saying "Toasty!". Some of the tracks are remixed versions of other levels. Also, included are classic stages from the original Mortal Kombat and MK2; which also includes their original music. Mortal Kombat Trilogy's stages have atmostsphere and offer a level of nostalgia to the old MK fans. A third of the levels are bi-level. The only way to reach the second level is for one player to uppercut the other; and you can't traverse back down. Stage fatalities remain, except for The Pit II. The creators didn't want add additional animations to the game. Overall, Mortal Kombat Trilogy offers nostalgia, great replay value for skilled players, and atmostsphere. Hopefully, PSN will give MKT the same treatment as MK2 (a.k.a online play). But, don't hold your breath.Read full review
