Mortal Kombat Advance

Mortal Kombat Advance is a 2001 fighting game developed by Virtucraft and published by Midway for the Game Boy Advance. Part of the Mortal Kombat series, it is a handheld version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1995), although it was designed with the intention of evoking the best aspects of the first three games in the series and Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

Mortal Kombat Advance allows players to take control of one of multiple playable characters, who fights against a computer-controlled or player-controlled opponent one-on-one. The game allows players to use various combo moves, as well as fatalities at the end of the fight. Due to the Game Boy Advance having fewer buttons than the arcade cabinets the games originally appeared on, the designers had to modify how Mortal Kombat Advance controlled.

Upon release, Mortal Kombat Advance received highly negative reviews from critics for its lackluster controls, low-quality graphics, and poorly programmed artificial intelligence for computer-controlled opponents. It was named the worst game of 2002 by GameSpot and one of the worst games of all time by GamesRadar+.
