Mortal Kombat

Re: Mortal Kombat

not really a big deal. Sony threw money at them to include Kratos, and preventing the 360 from getting an exclusive character makes sense in that kind of deal.

What does MS have that would have worked anyways, besides another Halo Spartan like in DOA4? They don't own the Gears IP, but maybe they could have got Banjo & Kazooie.

Banjo Kazooie in Mortal Kombat would have been a traveshamockery.

IGN/Gamespot has a thing to overrate "trend games" and underrate deserving titles.

How people take them serious is baffling. Especially when 95% of most sites always contradict them.

From the sounds of it. The demo was just a tiny taste. And I loved the feel.

A true evolution in the series for those who enjoyed MK2 and Ultimate MK3. Pared and I share identical views on this series. Thus his comments have me out right now from the gym and on my way to picking this bad boy up!!!!!

lol j/k

other fighting games= get a story mode.

the bar has been raised.

yeah after seeing that gametrailers review im interested in getting it now because of the story mode.

couple of questions for people with the game........

does everyone only have 2 fatalities? (although i saw scorpion had 3)

do the stages have different levels where u can break through walls or fall to a lower level like MK vs DC?

how many stage fatalities are there?

Re: Mortal Kombat

This game is the poster boy for replayability for a fighting game...

I think everyone will back me up on that...

Nope. Certianly better than what Capcom has tossed out but it's not Blazblue and its 20 hour story mode,even then this is a retelling of MK 1-3 or the tons of unlockables and customization of Tekken.

Apparently, some suit has it out for the 360.

Devs say lack of 360 exclusive character not their fault.

In other news, I can't wait to get this today!

Didn't have a problem getting one in DOA. I suspect Warner Brothers are the ones at fault.

Re: Mortal Kombat

I wasn't happy with how MK Armageddon turned out on PS2, so I'm hesitant to pick up another 3D MK game.

Kan anyone who played Armageddon komment on how this one kompares?

Also, how is Stryker in this game? He's been my go-to guy since MK 3.

This game is 2D.

[thegut]

I've been playing this game now for almost 8 hours straight. Absolutely incredible when I haven't bother with this type of fighting game in years. I remember back in the day playing the living crap out of mk1, mk2, and umk3 in the arcades. This brings back some fond memories. I haven't even touched the surface yet of the content on this disc nevermind learn all the moves and tactics involved with each fighter. Going to enjoy this for a while!

Stryker is great! Been using him a lot. When doing his X-ray move the sound of his baton cracking the opponent's jaw is.....well...........PRICELESS! Probably used the move 20 times and am still laughing out loud when he does it.
