Comment:
Mortal Kombat finally got the proper edition into modern days. The story has fully revisited the first three games in the Mortal Kombat series. A huge amount of characters is re-introduced with new visuals, best seen in the many cutscenes. Yet the gameplay remains 2D sidescrolling battles, the way it is played best. Lots of fighting modes, challenges, unlockables ... this all can be found in the game. Challenge tower is included too, of course. Difficulty is still high ... even on the lowest settings the enemies, especially Shao Kahn, will kick your butt if you suck at the game. Or if you owned an XBox360 controller (like me) because precision button mashing is a must and analog sticks are almost useless. The fighting is fun, the story is cool and the online multiplayer is, well, empty and buggy. Yes, this is a understandable flaw, so be sure to have friends who either have this game or come over to play. I cannot pinpoint other bad stuff about this game and so, while it is not perfect, it does a ton of things right. Recommended!
