Mortal Kombat 4 is a 1 vs 1 fighting game similar to other Mortal Kombat games, but this is the first game in the series with 3D character models. The player can choose from 15 different fighters at the start and several unlockables later on. Many fighters from earlier games in the series make a comeback, such as Scorpion, Sub Zero, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, etc., while other new fighters join in, like Shinok, Fujin, Jarek, and Kai. Goro returns as a boss.
Gameplay is very typical for a Mortal Kombat game, but has several new features - for example, characters can use weapons in a fight or avoid attacks in the 3D environment.
Mortal Kombat 4 was released on June 24, 1998, for the Playstation. It is part of the fighting genre and is the fourth main installment in the Mortal Kombat series.
