Review: Mortal Kombat Gold was a launch title for the Sega Dreamcast and is the successor to Mortal Kombat 4 adding five new characters, a new weapon select option, an new levels not seen in the prequel. MK: Gold only came out for the Dreamcast, nearly 2 years after it's arcade release, and maintained everything the arcade version of MK4 had to offer... Each character model consists of 3,000 polygons, the exact same as its arcade counterpart. Some original levels were also reworked to take advantage of the added 3D processing power the Dreamcast offers, but overall the graphics were disappointing since the Dreamcast was capable of much better visuals... Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast was a good example, and simply blew this game out of the water.

Closing Comment:
For fans of MK4, this version was obviously the best version of the game. Now with 5 new characters,
the game felt more complete, but the graphics and gameplay were rather stale for
1999, especially when compared to the other fighting game that launched
with Dreamcast, Soul Calibur. ~F.Yagami,
