Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

In a storyline reminiscent of Looking Glass's Thief, the Lin Kuei assassin/thief is sent to steal an important document; this mission proves to be a test from a mysterious character (who turns out to be Quan Chi from Mortal Kombat 4) and who charges you upon retrieval of this object to recover an ancient medallion of untold power. However, once you retrieve the medallion, Quan Chi reveals that he actually tricked you, and the medallion is the key to awakening the demonic Shinnok. You must now become a reluctant hero, as you pursue Quan Chi through hell itself hoping you get to Shinnok before him.

Technically speaking, this game represents the final evolutionary step in the MK's series 2D engines. New features include zooming, 3D lighting, as well as 3D backgrounds and characters.
