At the time Arcade gaming was enjoying quite a bit of success at family fun parks, and this Birthday trip was about to introduce me to one of the greatest series to every hit the arcades and consoles. To this day I still want to hit Block, Up, Up to finish characters off when I play as my man Scorpion...however, the urge to play any kind of Mortal Kombat has long since left. After MKII and MK3 things got pretty rocky in the "quality/fun" department of the Mortal Kombat series. I played many of the games, but the last 3 offerings I haven't bothered more than a few minutes playing. THIS GAME however has changed ALL of that!! This my friends is THE Mortal Kombat game that fans have been wanting and missing all these years. This is an absolute, all out feature fest of fighting modes and options. The challenge mode alone has over 300 options to play through and the customized modes...

I wrote the first review on Mortal Kombat for PS3 after I played the game into the wee hours of the morning. I gave it high praise on that system (feel free to read it if you want to hear my actual opinion of the game, It absolutely applies to you 360 owners, too). I even mentioned Kratos being a cool edition to the game and all the things I appreciated about the game. However, I noticed there are some reviews on here blasting the game on the 360 console for some reason. I have no idea why people are loyal to a console to the point where they must disparage another product. I guess being anonymous makes it okay for some to be dishonorable and deceiving about the product, but I digress from what I came here to tell you. The game on 360 is excellent. I find it to be just as fun, and the online experience (the reason I got a 360 copy) is rich and enjoyable right...

I'll be sure to update this review over the next few days when I have a more definite opinion but wanted to give the Amazon crowd my initial thoughts. So far, I'm in love with the game. Playing locally against a friend is a blast and takes me back. Call me sentimental, but this game takes me back to my childhood playing against my brother when mom and dad weren't around (we had to convince them it wasn't to violent). As soon as you finish your first fight you'll have a smile on your face and be looking for another. The violence and sound really are what sell this game from the get go. It takes the game back to its roots and some of the fatalities are simply amazing. With plenty of unlocks and various single player content, one will have a lot to do in this new version. The graphics look fine on my HD TV, while they are not the greatest they... Read more |
