The sound is definitely the high-water mark for the N64. There are a few moments where the frame rate dips, but not enough to cause a problem with the gameplay. But they still look very good, make great use of light sourcing, and run at a very high speed. The graphics of the N64 version aren't as good as the arcade version. The new characters fit very well into the MK universe, a welcome change from most fighting game sequels. Most of the old characters maintain their old moves, and add a new one here and there. Returning characters include Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya, and Raiden. He isn't selectable from the start, but he'll be available via a code. Goro looks terrific in 3D, moves very fluidly, and has all the great moves he had in MK1, as well as a few additional ones. To remedy that, the home version contains MK1's four-armed bad boy, Goro. However, he is also a selectable character, which left arcade players with no big boss to look forward to. With Shao Kahn defeated, Shinnok picks up the slack as the main bad guy. The storyline of MK4 picks up the loose ends left behind by both MK3 and MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero.
Also, weapons have been added into the mix, with each character possessing a different sword, club, or staff to beat his enemies with. The fourth time around the game has gone polygonal, giving the developers much more leeway when it comes to adding new moves, holds, and characters. The series, which until now utilized digitized actors to give the game an extra layer of realism, has been the topic of comic books, movies, action figures, and even Senate hearings. The Mortal Kombat series is one of the premier gaming series' around today.
