Less than twenty years ago I played my first Mortal Kombat game,Mortal Kombat II and it was awesome,great characters, great moves, everything was great. After that Mortal Kombat 3 arrived with more new characters and it was much faster than previous part.In effect both parts were excellent. But unfortunately since then everything goes wrong,the game is completely changed,game loses speed,almost looks like Tekken.
Finally we have Mortal Kombat 9,a game worthy of the previous parts,everything have returned to the old,characters,speed,playability and enjoyment of what we once had when we played the game,great job.
But I have some remarks on game,some characters look much better in the previous parts than new,for example Liu Kang,he looks like a girl. And many other costumes are desperate but luckily we have another option and retro costumes,but as I said some characters again look desperate. That's all I can blame,generally the game is great,totally retro,I recommend everyone to try it,really great game,I hope the next part will be the same....

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.
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.

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.
