Title: Mortal Kombat Advance!!
Post by: Eiksirf on January 26, 2002, 01:31:45 PM
This is too good not to share.  EGM offered three views on MK Advance, garnering scores of 1.5, 0.5, and ... get this ... 0.0!

If I may, I would like to share some of the editorial comments from each of the reviewers:

"...the most incomplete, half-assed, piece of (insert any expletive here) I\'ve ever had the misfortune of playing."
"...if you can get away with just watching it from a distance, stop there."
"Contains the most number of problems, bugs, and unpolished or missing features of any game, ever!"
"If a circus train wreck was ever more accurately embodied in digital format, I haven\'t seen it."
"...it\'s a steaming pile of bloody dog krap."
"If you bought it, return it.  Now."

And the quote that will surely appear on the television ad:

"I\'d rather watch the god-awful second MK movie, from inside a prison cell, while gargling cat piss than play this abomination any longer." -EGM

Seriously, though, I wonder if it\'s any good? ;]

:laughing: 0.0?  Are you talking about Game Boy Advance game?  I can\'t believe they gave it a low scores like that.  I though Kabuki Warriors got low scores.  ;)

They loved it at IGN (scored 2.0 :p)

Horrible AI programming is the biggest culprit here, as the default setting is near impossible to play. Right from the get-go, the computer controlled opponent can pull off multiple moves and combinations that wouldn\'t be humanly possible for anyone without a bionic implant in their thumb. Honestly, the very first battle in the game is amazingly, frustratingly difficult to win.


Check out this video clip and you\'ll see what they\'re talking about :p Ruthless!

Yah, plenty of Sonic Advance pictures.  EBgames is an obvious source as is IGN or gamespot.

Yea, and it\'s coming out as part of a 3-in-1 cart for GBA.  The games included are Golden Axe, Ecco the Dolphin, and Sonic Spinball.

There is a catch however, Golden Axe is only one player.  I\'ve never played it, but apparently that\'s a big deal.

LOL at the video.  Scorpion appeared to be warping around the screen.  For novice you couldn\'t even get a hit in.  MK fails again.

Eik\'s never played Golden Axe??  you are REALLY missing out...try and find an old PC version (download it or something) cos its a really good game (the chicks specials kicked so much ass) think of Gauntlet Legends...only better
