Nice concept, poor execution
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is Mortal Kombat's attempt to step out of the fighting game genre, specifically the 'beat 'em up' genre. A refreshing concept, but poorly executed. The game has subpar controls, little enemy variety, badly designed levels, mediocre graphics, and is way too difficult.
Only recommended for Mortal Kombat fans looking for something different.
