"Mortal Kombat 3" for Sega was a major step forward for the series and rightfully occupies its place in my personal golden collection of classic fighting games. She not only continued the traditions of the previous installments, but also offered many innovations that made the game more intense and exciting.

The main thing that distinguishes Mortal Kombat 3 is the evolution of combat mechanics. The appearance of combos added dynamics to the battles: now players could connect punches into chains that looked spectacular and required skill. Each fighter had their own unique set of combos, which added depth and variety. Players had to study the characteristics of each character in order to reach their full potential. How many small books were searched, where lists of combinations of pressed buttons for combos were prescribed for each fighter. It was a golden time.

At the time of the release, the graphics looked impressive. Improved animations, detailed backgrounds and effects have made the game visually appealing. Interestingly, later, when "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3" was released, the graphics seemed a little less impressive, although this is more the effect of the first memories. As a child, MK3 was remembered as the most "real" and lively part of the series, where every fight looked like an epic fight.

The game continued the usual fighting game format with legendary fatalities, friendships and ... transformations into animals. Yes, yes. "Animality" is the name of this thing. A somewhat strange but peculiar opportunity to end a fight by offering players creative ways to humiliate or make their opponent laugh. In addition, the game has retained its characteristic dark style, where each battle is not just a fight, but a real test with elements of the show.

"Mortal Kombat 3" is a classic fighting game that has become a landmark for its time. Improved graphics, new mechanics and familiar elements have made the game one of the best in the series. She gave unforgettable emotions, especially to those who first got acquainted with the series through her. By the way, I was exactly that person, having played the previous parts later and realized how much cooler MK3 was. Even years later, the memories remain vivid, and the game's contribution to the fighting game genre is difficult to overestimate.

8 out of 10.

While the original Mortal Kombat set the benchmark for video game violence, it wasn't until the third chapter in this series that the gameplay finally equaled the visuals. The first two games relied wholly on massive bloodletting and digitized video characters to draw in players, but it was the third installment that finally cemented the MK series as a solid entry in the fighter game genre. The addition of a huge roster of characters, coupled with more special abilities and finishing moves (brutal "fatalities" and "animalities" alongside comical "friendships" and "babalities").

The story, or lack thereof, is roughly the same as the first two games, but this matters little when the true measure comes from the game's impressive playability. First time button-mashers and expert gamers will both find this game quite fun. While still not up to the high standard of newer generation fighters, MK3 provided an exciting gory romp with good controls and graphics.

If you find it on a "classics" collection, its well-worth the purchase.

MORTAL KOMBAT 3, in my opinion, is one of the best arcade games I have ever played. Even though I haven't owned my Nintendo Wii for very long, I enjoy this game very much. In addition, even though I've never beaten the game, I still find this game very appealing, even though I've never owned the game. The only place I've played it is at the arcade. However, when and if this game is available to download on the Nintendo Wii, I'm definitely going to download it. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Sega Genesis know how to keep video game fanatics entertained. Now, in conclusion, if you're a video game fanatic, this is definitely one you'll want to play and own.

Mortal Kombat 3 also changed the history of fighting video games for many reasons...

It generated an easy to perform combo system that became a favorite for fans and best of all, it was addictive. You could perform 8 button combo attacks combined with your special powers.

Also, the story is very interesting not to say creepy and powerful. It deals with earth's invasion by Shao Khan. This time, Rayden who "cannot interfere anymore" created a new earth army that brings the most interesting new characters in the series plus the beloved ones like Sub-Zero, Sonya (returns), Liu Kang, Kung-Lao, Kabal, and Stryker. Now it's up to them to defeat Kahn's minions, Motaro (the new Shotokan leader) and in the end, Kahn himself.

The graphics are excellent! The characters look bigger, shaped, and have cool clothing. The sound is just wonderful, maybe not as impressive and haunting as in part II but still really good with modern tracks and the always creepy and haunting "The Pit III" tune.

The fatalities are a letdown in terms of originality and brutality. Some of them are even laughable like Kabal's banshee scream, Kang's arcade, or "giant Jax". Some of them are spectacular like Jax performing a la T-100, the Sektor Kompaktor, Cyrax's helicopter, Kung Lao's hat cutting, Kano's skeleton rip, and Sub-Zero's frozen destruction, to name some.

The game play is addictive, even more than in part II. You just don't get tired of the combo system and best of all, because the story and music catches your attention and senses.

A classic fighting video game. One of the best ones of history.
