Mortal Kombat (1995)

EW's GRADE
C

Details Genre: Soundtracks

The Mortal Kombat game appeals to adolescent male obsessions with violence and technology. The soundtrack attempts to find a musical equivalent — techno-metal fusion, overstimulated rhythms, burbling synths, crunchy guitars, and voice-of-doom vocals. Fine for a club or arcade, but monotonous without the visuals. C
