Mortal Kombat 4 - Game Boy Color

The beat-em-up genre has become one of the most popular due to games like Mortal Kombat 4 for the Gameboy Color. This version allows you to take the ultra violent gameplay anywhere you like. In MK4 you can choose from eight initially selectable characters to take part in the ultimate tournament. When Mortal Kombat was released it was the first fighting game to feature realistic digitised Kombatants and over the top violence with the introduction of fatalities. When one person wins the best of three rounds s/he has the opportunity to ‘finish’ their opponent in all manners of unspeakable nastiness. This caused public outcry, as ripping heads off tends to offend. There is a difference between video games and real life, however it’s best to be forewarned. On the other hand, fatalities can be great fun and they put the icing on the cake of very close matches. Mortal Kombat 4 has a lot of hidden features and moves for you to find. This is a wonderful incentive to keep on playing long after you’ve completed the game. Finding a new fatality or character is a great feeling. MK4 is one of the few games on the Gameboy to offer speech. Which is an achievement in itself. If you’re looking for portable fighting fun, look no further. more
