On the flip side, you can do the same thing against your opponent. All you can do is block and try, try, try to escape with that perfectly timed jump. You can easily be caught in the corner of the screen being pummeled by Sub Zero's slides, punches, kicks and freezes. The game's intelligence is also moved over faithfully to the GBA version, annoyingly so for those who are not skilled at the Mortal Kombat series such as yours truly. This may have been a weak attempt at comforting the censors and parents at the time of the original release but, seriously, it is just another move to perform. Friendships are the antithesis of Fatalities ' giving your opponent a bunch of flowers, dancing a cute dance, giving gifts or making snowmen. Exploding into a messy pulp, cut in half, impaled on a staff, burned to a crisp or chopped into small pieces, Fatalities were and still are the rewards for beating your opponent. A fatality move, executed properly, will cause your opponent to die a bloody and often disgusting death. What began as the infamous Fatalities has extended into the Friendship. But the trademark of the Mortal Kombat series is the extra-special end moves you can perform as your opponent swoons back and forth. One character, Shao Kahn, has the ability to transform into any other character in the game and will have all the moves of that character.Īmazingly well done, this transformation occurs smoothly and easily. Successful Kombos knock greater amounts of life and rack up larger scores. Better than a single hit are the Kombos that each character can perform. Some moves such as Cyrax's "Net Capture" or Scorpion's "Spear" (including his trademark phrase "Come Over Here!") are not meant to hurt but to drag your opponent closer for hits that deplete his life. Each of these fighters has at least four special moves that they can perform.
There are 23 fighters available from the start with three hidden fighters available once you defeat certain levels of the game. The controls are very responsive and moves are easy to execute.MKA takes advantage of the beefed up console of the GBA.
Tapping certain directions and buttons will activate special moves depending on the fighter you chose. The directional pad moves your fighter in eight available directions. The Left and Right shoulder buttons are the Run and Block, both of which need to be held for longer durations to execute. The "b" and "a" buttons take on the Punch and Kick moves respectively.
The simple arcade configuration easily moves into the positions on the Game Boy Advance. For those new to Mortal Kombat and as a refresher for loyal Kombatants, the controls are as follows: Punch, Kick, Block and Run. Mortal Kombat Advance is a very good port from the Arcade and Super Nintendo original seven years past.
