Please get in touch for information on these options.A classic title comes to Sega Dreamcast. Mortal Kombat Gold (U) is the latest entry in the hugely successful Mortal Kombat franchise. The game features 15 popular Mortal Kombat characters plus the surprise reintroduction of a few more. There are more than 10 interactive fighting arenas, multiple game fight modes, a brand-new weapon select screen, fully rendered intros and endings and several fatality methods for each character. You'll also discover some Sega Dreamcast exclusive surprises! The fight-to-the-finish slug-fest features 20 controllable characters including a handful of classic combatants that are making their way back to the Mortal Kombat scene.
Exclusive to the Dreamcast, Mortal Kombat Gold (U) is the latest rendition of Midway's arcade classic fighter. Running at 60 frames per second with high-resolution graphics--a first for this series on any platform--the game boasts the look and feel of a quarter-munching upright arcade machine.
The fighting system in this game is basically the same as it was in Mortal Kombat 3, with the addition of a few new characters and weapons and some subtle gameplay tweaks. There are several new gameplay modes that should excite Mortal Kombat and fighting-game fans. A new battle mode enables would-be combatants to select teams of multiple characters for team-based fighting. There is also a one and two-player endurance mode, a traditional versus mode, two-on-two fighting, and a practice mode. The latter explains to players how to perform fatalities but, disappointingly, doesn't let you perform them.
With only minor updates, Mortal Kombat Gold (U) falls back on its roots. It's a good game if you are an avid Mortal Kombat fan, though others may wish to consider starting their Dreamcast fighting game collection with Soul Calibur, Power Stone, Virtua Fighter 3 Team Battle and Street Fighter Alpha 3. --Todd Mowatt
