IGN Reviews – Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection: Game Review

37 Comments

1. I have waited for that kind of compilation of classic mk series, its a shame there is no mk4 bun anyway ive got all three games from arcade cabinet in one. One of my favorites series im so happy that ive got it XD

2. Having played the PS2 trilogy and MKX I bought the arcade collection for my first taste of the classics thinking I'd have enough skill to play it since I was able to beat all of those ones…..I was completely wrong, the Kollection is ridiculously hard with AI that hardly gives you a chance at all when trying to do the towers, I managed to beat MK1 on normal (which took forever) and left me very proud, but once I started II I literally could never get past the fourth tier on even the easiest difficulty they do nothing but grab you and block every move you try to make, while you yourself aren't even able to grab and certain special moves are made effectively useless as the AI doesn't even give you a chance to perform the button combinations

3. does the online mode and gamepad works on pc?

4. Just found out that "Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection" was in the works by Midway and then canceled by WB. Then they put out this POS instead. So disappointed.

5. I don't care what people say, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is my favorite out of all of them. Haters Gonna Hate.

6. Nice they bring these back, but there is huge problems with the AI. I rather play the SNES versions.

7. where is mk4?

8. I remember when umk3 came out in my local arcade we played it for 5 minutes and said "what the f" and went back to mkII

9. If you have PSN go buy it it's only 4$ instead of 10$ for a few days!

10. really? gave it a 6 cause it was hard?.could've atleast give it a 7

11. Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, what is this so called lag? I have never heard of it.
    Every game has lag just get a pair of balls and man up

12. Fucking hard? U must suck ?

13. Go buy this game right now, it's currently $0.90 on the Playstation store from 3/20-3/23

14. Wash your ass.

15. They brought down the score because of the difficulty,that is a bad way to judge a game.

16. I Proudly own this game on PC/PS3/Xbox My fav franchise of all time.

17. Mortal Kombat isn't hard, maybe ur just not good at it. And even if it is hard, its suppose to be, its not gonna be like COD that u get thrown into a room filled with A.I that can barely aim. I give this a 8/10, for bringing back THE best fighting game of all time

18. I wonder how they decide who reviews what. They got names in a hat, and just go with it when they get this guy who clearly isn't familiar with the genre at all to review arcade MK? It just doesn't make much sense. 

19. currently this is £1.50 on greenmangaming pure bargain

20. I actually have the coin-op games but I am very interested in if they got the attract mode correct for mk2. No console version ever had it correct. The one second cinema cutscenes and music is my favorite part of the attract mode and I have to power up my mk2 coin-op to see it.

21. Just use MAME Emulator

22. games designed to suck quarters from you scare me

23. "Yeh give that game a lower score because it challenges me unlike every game that comes out now" Games were meant to be heard back in the day. It kept you playing for longer.

24. WTF IGN!?!?!?!? Laggy multiplayer is not a huge issue and stop giving games minus points cause you aren't good at them!

25. These games are not hard I beat all the arcade ladders on very hard easily if your good at mortal kombat it's not hard at all bad review loved this lol kollection

26. "This game's pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    6/10. Meh."

27. A 6??????

28. because that game was ridiculous

29. the UMK3 is my Fav, IGN sucks, they should insert Brutality in UMK3

30. This game is grest but can get frustrating at times. I would give it a 8.5/10

31. Yeah you gotta spam kintaro. I use lui kangs bicycle kick repeatedly.

32. "F#cking hard" DAMN RIGHT. lol. I've been stuck losing to Kintaro for the past hour. Facking shit!

33. Anyone have this on the ps3? The theme music that's played on the XMB menu HAS to be thee best game track I've ever heard

34. 6? I'd give it a 7 at least! Maybe even a 8! Laggy online isn't a HUGE game breaking issue! And being hard can be a good thing or bad thing, if someone wants extra challenge!

35. Even online can be hard because people are professionals and only play ranked now.

36. MK 2 is the BOMB! this whole package is the bomb!! FUCK YOU IGN!!

37. why wasn't mortal kombat 4 in this. it did have an arcade release
