    While not a horrible game, Mortal Kombat for SNES is just missing a few elements.

    Good: Better graphics than Genesis; Pretty good to play for fun Bad: Slow gameplay; Bad sound; No Blood or Fatalities After hearing all of the bad rap about this game, I just decided to buy it, just to see if it's th... Read Full Review

    The game that started it all, unfortunatley didn't live up to its potential.
