Reviewed by Adriano Maurizio Grisanti


PRICE : œ10 (DISK VERSION).

PUBLISHER : VIRGIN.

SOFTWARE TYPE : BEAT'EM UP.

SYSTEM REQUIRED : 386 DX40 4MB RAM, AND DOS 5.1 OR HIGHER.

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM : 486 DX2 66 WITH 8MB OF RAM.


  This is a great beat'em up, it has great sound effects and music,
along with good graphics which include gore effects, which all add 
up for a seriously playable game.

  There are seven characters to choose from, these are:-  
  
A.) KANO
B.) SONIA
C.) SCORPION
D.) SUB ZERO
E.) JOHNNY CAGE
F.) RAIDEN
G.) LIU KANG

Besides the above seven characters, you get to fight two end of level
guardians, GORO and SHANG TSUNG.  The first GORO is a big dude with 
more arms than brains, making him relatively easy to defeat.  The 
second SHANG TSUNG is a shape shifter, by this I mean he can morph 
into any of the other characters, including GORO.
  
  Overall the game is relatively easy, on all modes and only takes 
about a week to complete.
  
  One nice feature in this game is the Pit level, if you don't loose 
any energy, you get to fight a ninja at the bottom of the pit, 
which'll boost up your score if you win.  This ninja you get to fight 
pops up now and again to give you tips and how to find him.

  This game is a classic, and at only œ10 its a steal, come on buy 
it.  I give this game a 89% grade, as it is a very good beat'em up 
for the PC, but isn't as good as Mortal Kombat 2, also reviewed in 
this months Cheet Sheets.
