Exclusive to the Dreamcast,Mortal Kombat Goldis the  latest rendition of Midway's arcade classic fighter. Running at 60  frames per second with high-resolution graphics--a first for this  series on any platform--the game boasts the look and feel of a quarter- munching upright arcade machine.The fighting system in this game is basically the same as it was inMortal Kombat 3, with the addition of a few new characters and  weapons and some subtle gameplay tweaks. There are several new gameplay  modes that should exciteMortal Kombatand fighting-game fans. A  new battle mode enables would-be combatants to select teams of multiple  characters for team-based fighting. There is also a one- and two-player  endurance mode, a traditional "versus" mode, two-on-two fighting, and a  practice mode. The latter explains to players how to perform fatalities  but, disappointingly, doesn't let you perform them.With only minor updates,Mortal Kombat Goldfalls back on its  roots. It's a good game if you are an avidMortal Kombatfan,  though others may wish to consider starting their Dreamcast fighting  game collection withSoul Calibur,Power Stone,Virtua  Fighter 3 Team Battle, andStreet Fighter Alpha 3.--Todd  MowattPros:ClassicMortal Kombatcharacters with updated featuresHigh-resolution graphics at 60 frames per secondAdditional gameplay modes increase replayabilityCons:Not much different fromMortal Kombat 3Characters are stiffly animatedBackground detail scant
