![]() In addition to online play, we would have loved to see the option to reconfigure your controls, a practice mode and a $5 price tag. As with most of the classic games on Live Arcade, longtime fans will probably love this game and the online play. If you still have it, you would be better suited whipping out the old Sega Genesis. With a D-Pad as accurate as Dick Cheney with a shotgun and an analog stick better suited for Halo, performing the tap-tap special moves proves exceedingly difficult. The final gripe is the 360 controller itself. For the politically correct, you do have the option of turning off blood and violence, although I have no idea what turning off violence does since you can still roundhouse-kick an opponent in the face, and spray his blood across the screen. If any fighter needs a practice mode, it's UMK3, thanks to the hundreds of combos waiting to be discovered and mastered. Not only does the game not come with a practice mode (perfect for, um, perfecting combos and special moves), but there are no control options and not even a move list (quickly remedied with a simple Google search). Other than a healthy dose of achievements, things that should have come with this $10 game are sorely missed, and make you question the value. The graphics and sound are identical, although you do have the option to stretch the dimensions of the game into widescreen. This is better than slowdown that ruins the timing of combos and special moves, and a necessary evil, I suppose. Lag is an issue, though most of the time the game doesn't slow down instead, it pauses for a second or two, interrupting the flow of the match. Multiplayer and Xbox Live is where this game really shines as your friends don't cheat, and all those hours of memorizing move lists and fatalities finally pays off. The 360 does add a bit, most notable online play and leaderboards. ![]() This has been a problem for, like, ever with Mortal Kombat. If you miss playing Mortal Kombat though, playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will remind you of hitting up the arcade as a kid or playing one of the original games with friends on an old console.That's not the 360s fault, of course. Those graphics are far too disturbing for younger players. When you punch or hit a character, you might see blood flying across the screen and blood pouring out of their wounds. ![]() Those graphics also suffer from some glitches in the game that can make your character freeze long enough for a competitor to step up and wipe you out of the competition.ĭespite looking dated, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 has some disturbing scenes. The graphics tend to look a little bit dated today, especially when you compare this game to console fighting games. When you slammed your fist into an opponent's face, you actually believed that you injured the other person. One thing that players loved about the original game was just how realistic it looked. The only downside is that the game doesn't give you a lot of different ways to use those buttons. ULTIMATE MORTAL KOMBAT 3 UPDATEUpdate of Mortal Kombat 3 (1995), adding an altered gameplay system, new features, and additional characters Kitana, Jade, Reptile, Scorpion, Classic Sub-Zero, Ermac and Mileena. Just click on the options menu, look for the configuration area and change up the movements to work with the buttons you want to use. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3: With Richard Divizio, Kerri Hoskins, John Parrish, Michael O'Brien. Though the game shows you the buttons you need to use to kick, punch and jump, you can also configure those buttons to make playing easier. Those special moves can help you take down other characters faster and get to the final stage of the championship competition. ![]() Before choosing one of those characters, make sure that you check out the special skills associated with each one. While some are newer characters, you'll also find characters like Johnny Cage and Sonya. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 gives you 24 characters to choose from when you first start. This newer version of the game lets you enjoy all the excitement while playing on your computer. Mortal Kombat even inspired two popular films. The popularity of the arcade game led to the developers releasing an edition that you could play at home on consoles like the Sega Genesis. Mortal Kombat started out as a simple fighting game that let you play as one of several characters in the word's most ultimate fighting championship. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 takes everything you love about both the original game and all the later installments and brings the fighting game into the modern era. ![]()
