I've played the demo with a joystick on a 60 mhz Pentuim - I was
pretty impressed, and thought it was better and much more fun that
FXFighter.

Yeah, but it looked fine, and was *fun* to play...

I was never a big fan of the arcade (especially at 75 cents a game),
but in comparison to the SNES version, the PC absolutely rocks.  The
game only uses 4 buttons, so the Gravis is perfect.

What impressed me the most was all the multilayered scrolling and
parallax floors.  Not even the SNES version had that much going on.
The sprites are huge and the animation very fluid.

In my opinion, Time Warner did an excellent job.

   You were right on all accounts except the very last thing you said.

   Time Warner totally screwed up the moves they printed in the manual.
Maybe it was a last minute change or something to make it easier to play on
the keyboard (imagine performing a sequence of moves while holding down three
keys... how many keyboards on the market can handle that?) but they should have
at least included an errata sheet!

   Also the CD can install the whole game to your hard drive but every time you
want to play you gotta load the CD-ROM driver and find the CD and stick the
sucker in yer CD-ROM drive... royal pain in the butt.

   But the gameplay itself was excellent.  So was the graphics and sound/music.
Hope Mortal Kombat 3 is as good a translation...

Actually, I found a way around this completely by accident.  I was playing
my Nine Inch Nails CD(from the CDROM) and I started up Primal Rage.  As it
was booting I remembered that I needed the CD, but I didn't bother because
by the time I had the CD out, the game had started already!  I think it
was because the CDROM was in use, so the game just thought that it was the
right one.  This is with the full install.  The one thing I hate about the
game is that there is no way to reinit the joystick.  Too often have I
pressed down towards and I jump backwards.  Anyone know if there is a way
to reinit without quitting and starting the game?

     Ok, so they screwed up the moves.  C'est la vie... at least 
everything else was very well done.  I imagine registered owners will 
probably be able to call their Tech Support line and get an errata sheet, 
or maybe even download it from a web site somewhere...

     PC Gamer has already reviewed MK3.  It got an Editor's Choice 
award.  On the down side, it IS a sequel... there isn't very much that 
could be termed totally "original".  On the up side, you will be able to 
play MK3 over the modem!  I think it supports net play too, but I'm not 
sure.  I'll almost certainly buy it when it comes out.
