Midway had already impressed us with Deadly Alliance on the Game Boy Advance, offering a game that not only looked great on the handheld, but also played well with an aggressive, combo-based fighting engine. We've already raved about that development, which is why this review focuses on the additional elements that Tournament Edition brings to the handheld. The game's technical "wow" factor has died off in the sequel, but the focus on adding features -- both for single as well as multiple players -- keeps the design exciting and fun. And it's definitely worth a purchase...even if you've fronted the dough for the original
Definitely worth a purchase, indeed. Pick up Mortal Kombat: TE at your local
retailer or by visiting our online store
today.
UPDATE: We have just learned that MK: Tournament Edition has in fact won IGN's Editor's Choice award for August 2003. Our congratulations to Midway and the MK:TE development team for their achievement!
