Late review- MK1 Genesis

ABOUT: MK1 Sweeped the arcades with the best looking violence since well... Whatever came before. This Genesis version offers alot of paly value if not a little more restrictive.

GRAPHICS: Looks as if the Genesis did almost ALL of it's work holding the games visuals. This even came before the dissapointing SNES version! Although you still need to use a code to unlock blood, it still remains more functional than the SNES port.

SOUND: The music feels more pulse-pounding due to the Genises's Near-Baseless audio. An ironic programming uniqueness in this port. Even if the voices are more staticy than the SNES version.

CONTROLS: The three button is widely acceptable in this version. Others cant get over the limitations, but MK1 and MK2 use both quite greatly

ENTERTAINMENT: What is the big difference in this port? It's next to being the best port since it could do a little more than the SNES version.

REPLAY: HIGH

OVERALL: 4/5 Next to all other Early ports, this is arguably the most desirable port ever.

I don't see what's "dissapointing" about the SNES verison except for blood.  The gameplay is the same, and it comes down to what controller you perfer.  MK is the only "normal" MK I like, the only other being the GB verison of MK2.  If they had used MK1 style AI when doing MK2, I would've loved it.  Instead, they ruined it. And I grew to hate MK.

With all due respect, It's obvious that the GB is not capable of using INTERACTIVE large sprites on most games unless they ruin the frames.

What the heck are "INTERACTIVE large sprites"?

I think he's talking about big sprites that animate and are part of gameplay, you can interact with them.

NixonTech: I didn't post your MK3 review because your reviews are growing increasingly sloppy, and your "mini-reviews" are starting to clutter up the place.  There are a lot of spelling errors and typos, and I agree with the reader that not spelling out the name of the game is just lazy.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please take a break from the reviews for a while!  If you want to try again in a few weeks that's fine, but please make sure you take your time and put some effort into it.  I really don't want to see anyone posting more than one review per week.

Thanks!
Dave

I had this game for the Genesis and utilized both the 3 button and 6 button controller. I only briefly used the 3 button controller because had I not switched controllers my parents may have inquired as to why I was so frequently needing rides to buy new controllers (or why there were so many dents in the wall). Anybody that managed to play this game with a standard controller (with skill) deserves some sort of national recognition (a state holiday comes mind).

The game is definitely playable with the standard 3 button Genesis controller. But I found it a lot easier to execute special moves and fatalities with the 6 button controller. I think the reason why is because the D-Pad on the six button controller was a little smaller and contoured than the standard 3 button controller, which made sweeping your thumb across it to perform certain moves a breeze. With a 6 button controller, I was able to do Sub-Zero's fatality a lot more than I could with the standard 3 button one. Provided I was in the right place on the screen to do so, of course.

Dang skippy. That's one unsatisfactory review. Not up to par yo. Needs more effort. Room for improvement.
