 Mortal Kombat Gold is like a Mortal Kambat 4 for Dreamcast. March 6, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Mortal Kombat Gold is a very good game, but don't expect it to be a Mortal Kombat 5. They should have just called the game Mortal Kombat 4, because it is just like this one. Except in this one the graphics are better, the sound is better, there are more characters, and more levels. But it still has exactly the same plot as Mk4. The new characters aren't very good, and the modes are exactly the same as 4. While it has about 3 new levels, the rest are from Mortal Kombat 4. If you don't have Mortal Kombat 4, I would recommend getting this. But it is basically another Mortal Kombat 4 with some new features.
What do you expect? January 9, 2001
If you are looking for something new and innovative, this is not it. This is a great Mortal Kombat game, thats all it is. Some of the other reviews here are a little misleading, they are expecting a whole new game. It is a near perfect replication of the arcade version. Characters included: Scorpion, Johnny Cage,Sub Zero, Katana, Mileen. There are even hidden characters to play, I believe Goro, Sector, Noob Saibot. Modes 1vs1 and 2vs2. Only complaint I have is the controls are pretty sensitive, you can't use the analog button, you have to use the regular directional pad, which is a pain in the Thumb. Thank God, I got the Blaze arcade stick, which does wonders for the game. The graphics are nice and so is the sound. The computer is pretty challenging even at the easy level at times, and there is no online play. Go ahead and grab this title (for the price you can't go wrong) and have a Mortal Kombat title for your DC. Gamer247 is OUT! GAME ON! (I actually give it 3 1/2)
 Don't waste your cash on this December 14, 2000

There are other games far better for the Dreamcast than this game. It doesn't even have a practice mode or anything else to make it stand out. Gameplay is very shallow and ultimately boring. If you get more than 3 or 4 hours of game playing enjoyment out of this more power to you. There are many other games that are less expensive and much better available. Instead of wasting your money on this go try Soul caliber, marvel vs Capcom, DOA2 or Virtua Fighter. All are much better games that include many extras not available in the arcade version. Soul Caliber for the Dreamcast is fantastic by the way and costs less. If you don't believe me go rent Mortal Kombat Gold and see for yourself. This is easily the worst Mortal Kombat ever.
 Wow, how overwhelmingly unimpressive October 17, 2000

This game was impressive in 1993. It's laughably bad now. Pixelated graphics, 2-d fighting, and a tiny move list make this game unimpressive. Which is a shame, because the MK characters and storyline are pretty interesting. If you are looking for a good Dreamcast fighting game, then, please, pass this one by. You'll play it for maybe 8 minutes, then get bored. Instead, get Soul Calibur. It's the best fighting game yet. Or, if you want a little titilation, get Dead or Alive 2 and see what the Dreamcast's graphics processor can do. Those who appreciate "The Man Show"'s "Girl on Trampoline" segments or Dailyradar.com's Jumprope Team will really get a kick out of Dead or Alive 2. But please, leave this boring, outdated game behind. If only Midway would take the MK franchise into the RPG genre...
More o' the same, bub... July 28, 2000

Midway, in an-all out effort to publish as many fighting games as humanly possible has given the world Mortal Kombat Gold, an "update" to the mildly popular MK4 seen in arcades everywhere a couple of years ago.To warrant this title's port to the DC, Midway included some "new" characters. Cyrax, Mileena, Kitana, Baraka and Kung Lao are all standing by to be beheaded at your leisure. I'll admit, it was fun to play as my old favorite Baraka, but I found his return to be a bit lackluster. None of the fatalities you'll see from the new guys are original, all are merely 3D updates of MK2 and MK3. I found Cyrax's "blowing up the world" move terribly lame, as will you. And suprisingly, Baraka's victims don't bleed when he impales them. Otherwise, you'll find all of the characters present in the home games from last year, including the console-only Goro. Also, savvy players can unlock Noob Saibot and Sektor, via secret codes (don't tell). Let's get one thing straight. Graphic-wise, this game mirrors the arcade perfectly. That's one smooth box of chips Sega's got. The character models are back to the 3,000-polygon count (up from the PS and N64's dozen or so polygons per fighter) and the colors are bright and vibrant, with no pixelization. However, there's a few oddball things that stand out. For example, for all of its 22nd-century power, the Dreamcast can't deliver shadows that don't look like bouncing boxes strung together? I don't think so, Midway. Plus, you'll see several of the same animations again and again and again. Gameplay also mirrors the previous home releases. Jump, combo, special move, jump, combo fatality. The AI isn't particularly bright, especially on the stages where rocks and other debris litter the ground. Sound-wise, the game is adequate. The new characters use recycled sounds from old MK games, as do the new stages (also taken from old games.) All in all, if you haven't played MK4, and you have a Dreamcast, you may enjoy this title. The action is swift and pretty, and there's lots of fun blood and mutilations (parents beware.) Otherwise, this title is old news that could have benefitted from a little more development time.
