Mortal Kombat

The concept behind this game's story mode is good, but it changes the MK universe as a whole and has some points in the story mode where characters go completely out of character. The story mode also has a lot of continuity errors such as Reptile already being a Reptile in the first tournament when he is supposed to be human looking. He then devolves over time into his reptilian looking form. Speaking of the ninjas, only some of them have the classic mk1 look at the first tournament while others like Sub-Zero and Scorpion have detailed outfits. Overall there is a lot of inconsistencies with this title's story and design, but a new spin with this generation of consoles on Mortal Kombat is refreshing.

In my opinion, the best Mortal Kombat since the Midways became Netherrealm studios. I am glad to see the return of the 2v2 mode and the appearance of the Necropolis, where you can control the statistics of the characters' victories. The most difficult final boss in the history of Mortal Kombat... There is no such onslaught as from Shao Kahn from anyone. The best range, the mutilations look good, the atmosphere of a real Mortal Kombat. It's good that I had an Xbox, Kratos is a cool guy, but Mortal Kombat is good WITHOUT HYPE of guest (unnecessary) characters.

I'm giving the game the fattest ten. Since at the time when she came out, I did not notice any disadvantages. 10 out of 10.

I have long heard nothing about the genre of fighting, but from the Mortal Kombat were the warmest impressions of childhood, when with friends sticks for several hours. And now, after so much time, I did not think that when you buy this game, but somehow it happened that I went to the store and immediately bought the game. Such instantaneous came when we again began to play it, the developers did not stop us at the usual "scuffle" but added such as Safe Mode "story mode" and "Tower test" that does not just quite overcome to management and the dynamics of others. I would recommend this game to all who are familiar with quite series of games and who wants to feel a spirit of resistance and Do not weak fun with friends from the heart! But as has been said in this game can be played alone, and it's quite boring when the game show scenes like that in actual fact should have been in the movie ... OK, not about the movie now talking about. In the stories we are all soldiers for play (Elsi I remember correctly) for 3 fights, and all these battles are linked chain of logic that unravel in the course of passage ... So I can say from myself that this game is not a waste of money and time into it you can have fun after the passage of different Pocket DLC.

With amazing graphics on PS3 and XBOX 360, brutal fatalities, beatiful combos, the characters are amazing, with very cool origins (like kabal), the story is so cool with too much plot twists. This game is perfect, I want a remake.

Sometimes I wonder if Warner really know what a goldmine they are sitting on with the Mortal Kombat franchise. This is a series that features literally dozens of characters with rich backgrounds and deep mythology. But so far all we've had are two trashy movies back in the mid-90s. With so many sequels and spin-offs the video games series has now been rebooted with this current-gen monstrosity.

The difficulty of Mortal Kombat is ridiculous. The game simply doesn't give you a chance. The rivals seem to move at twice the speed as you do, leaving you unable to do anything apart from getting pulverized. There's simply no way you have time to punch in the codes for combo moves or specials. And since every character has different codes you'd have to be an idiot savant to memorize all these. The only way I managed to finish the story mode was through trickery and chance. The collision detection is also very inconsistent, which almost caused me to turn green with rage and rip through my clothing on a few occasions. It's a very bloody game too, with brutal fatalities and 'X-ray' moves where we get to see cool shots of bones breaking and guts shredding...oh wait...I'm not an angry 15-year-old boy. Actually, these moments are kinda distasteful and desensitizing. The game certainly earns its adult rating.

There are 51 trophies featured in the game but I only managed to unlock 32% of them as the Platinum literally requires THOUSANDS of hours of gameplay. I don't want to imagine what kind of person would commit that amount of time to a video game.

Pros: Great sound effects, lots of colorful stages.

Cons: Long, long, loooooong, unskippable cut-scenes, extreme difficulty.
