    This is absolutely one of the worst games of all time. It is so darn hard that I can't win one single match on the easiest difficulty. Most things in the game do not function properly at all, especially some of the characters.

    Si... Le doy un 4... No soy fan de Mortal Kombat pero diré lo que tenga que decir. La plantilla de personajes es increíblemente amplia, la música y los gráficos no están mal. Ahora bien, hay bastantes problemas con la IA, el juego no guarda partidas y puede llegar a volverse repetitivo, ademas de carecer de mas contenido que poseía la versión de SNES así como mas modos de juego.

El multijugador es muy divertido, pero tiene fallos, ya que se suele cortar. Pudo haber sido un buen port, pero las limitaciones técnicas le jugaron en contra. Así como esta no lo recomiendo, salvo por el multijugador.… Expand

    This is worst port of UMK3! Slow gameplay. Bad graphics. Strange soundtracks.

    The last thing about the gameplay I want to bring to your attention are the glitches that somehow got by undetected by the six testers listed in the credits. These range from projectiles colliding with your opponent but having no effect, to performing fatalities then having the game crash. With six testers on board, that's pathetic - did they even play the game before its release?

    The gameplay, the one thing that stood out most about the Mortal Kombat series, is flawed. I played with all of my favorites -- both Sub-Zeros, Kabal, Cyrax, Ermac, Sindel and Scorpion. Of those seven characters, six of them did not function properly at all.

    MK Advance may look GBA, but it plays GBC, and that's the killer. [Mar 2002, p.91]
