Ultra Vortek
Background: An ancient tablet declares that mankind will be tested by a Guardian.  If the finest warriors of mankind can not defeat the Guardian it is the end of society…and you know the rest – its a fighting game!  This is a Mortal Kombat clone where you can be one of seven characters with such descriptive names as Volcana and Skullcrusher.  Do a one player fightfest or a two player skirmish. Game Play: This game is my favorite Jaguar fighting game and presents interesting backgrounds with a lot of detail.  The characters are also interesting and have plenty of moves.  In the one player mode, you get to fight the seven characters and then the Shades which are negative energy remnants of the defeated warriors.  The final battle is against the Guardian!  Overall the game is very polished with nice graphics and sound effects.  I found the normal setting was on the easy side, but it was engaging and you can always increase the difficulty.  

Pros: good selection of characters, nice graphics/sound, overall polished look
Cons: normal setting is on the easy side


A wide selection of backgrounds.
