User Rating: 6 | Mortal Kombat II: Kyuukyoku Shinken GB
By FallenBlackWing | Review Date:
Well, since MK 1 was a total letdown, I've taken that one back and I happened to run over to part 2 on the bargain bin for about $1.50 (Tax included -.-), and I was amazed about how improved the whole game was.

It was a bigger improvement than it predecessor, but not all of this game is cracked up to be, you can find flaws as part 1 had. It's not great, but it's good to play for a little less than 30 minutes.

Here are some cons from this game: Punches and kicks are still laggy (what do you expect? Gameboy Color or Advance or DS quality? It's still the same Gameboy since 1989), fatalities are censored (could've added more blood to it despite of Black and White standard screen), the backgrounds causes at least half of the lags that this game presents.

The pros? Well, let's say that this was a somewhat of a huge step for Williams/Midway to take for the GB version, not what I expected, but it's a good (not excellent) improvement.

Thank you Ed Boon and John Tobias for this port.

    This is probably the best mortal kombat on a handheld to the present day. The gameboy still only has two buttons making controlling the fighters a bit awkward, but the controls are a little more responsive this time. You... Read Full Review
