In the PlayStation version, the four bosses: Goro, Kintaro, Motaro and Shao Kahn are all playable as well. Unlike in Mortal Kombat III and UMK3, where playing as Motaro and Shao Kahn required a cheat code to unlock them both. Baraka, Raiden and Johnny Cage are also included, since they was excluded in UMK3. I do this review, not just because I'm a huge fan of the MK series, but also I am looking forward to the new Mortal Kombat game coming this April.
Plot. After a defeat in the second tournament, Shao Kahn concocts a 10,000 year old plan. His plan is to revive Queen Sindel, and then conquer the Earthrealm. He is successful as his dark priests revive her on the Earthrealm, and the portal to the Outworld starts to link to the Earthrealm, causing all the people to die and their souls to be taken by Shao Kahn himself. Only a few souls are spared, those of the warriors who fought in the first two tournaments of Mortal Kombat, except that Johnny Cage, was caught by Shao Kahn's right hand centaur, Motaro, and died in battle. Now, the remaining warriors along with the reigning champion Liu Kang, must save the Earth before Shao Kahn begins his evil conquest.
