I don't know about that, there's something about Altered Beast I like, the transformations are cool and some of the music is decent.

MK Trilogy is, to all intents and purposes, just a premium version of MK3.
Very easy to find on youtube Mortal Kombat has been done to death over the years, lots of fans to so there is plenty of comparisons.
I'm in agreement SNES port was the best if you don't count the recent 360 release or the bonus disc that came with Mortal Kombat Deception on the PS2. (Which Yakumo doesn't know about, so if I don't point it out now he will not include it.)Last edited by S3M; 11-11-2014, 09:11.

Oh and yes I didn't know about that PS2 disc but still won't cover it unless I can find an ISO of the game and that my PC can run PS2 emulation as my PS2 console isn't chipped.Last edited by Yakumo; 11-11-2014, 10:48.

Musically, it is light years away from Sega Sound Team's greatest compositions.
That said, I'll say that the coin-op's ending is clever. This makes the MD version even worse though as it was left out.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 11-11-2014, 10:49.

Altered Beast I find to be a bit of a curio these days, as the first Megadrive game. Other than that, I struggle to find much to like about it.
Bizarre, really, as I remember playing it on a demo unit in Comet at the time, and freaking loving it.
Someone's going to be along to tell me soon that it wasn't the first Megadrive game.

You can't seriously be suggesting that the voice sampling in MD Altered Beast is better than that in the coin-opLast edited by Team Andromeda; 12-11-2014, 10:15.
