    Gamers who already bought the game when it came out in 2011, though, won't find enough in the "komplete" edition to justify purchasing it. However, any fighting-game fan that missed it last year shouldn't pass it by the second time around. With smooth graphics and gameplay, great controls, and excellent online multiplayer and spectacular single-player gameplay, Mortal Kombat has reclaimed its crown as the best fighting game.

    If you haven't picked up the new Mortal Kombat yet and plan to get all of the download content with it, Komplete Edition is the version to buy.

    That being said, for those gamers who skipped the original 2011 release, Mortal Kombat Komplete is a phenomenal fighting game and well worth the $60 asking price. But for those who already own the original title there is little reason to pony up that kind of cash given that the entirety of Komplete's included DLC can be already be purchased for less than $20.

  1. one of the best fighting games this generation played it for hours and hours on end and loved every second of the game and I still play it today and will continue until it gets replaced Expand
  2. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is exactly the same as the normal version of the game, but just bundled with all of the DLC--this includes: DLC characters Skarlett, Kenshi, Rain, and Freddy. It also includes all additional costumes released with the characters, as well as the classic costumes with fatalities for Reptile, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. I've only seen a couple difference between this version and the normal version: The title screen says Komplete Edition underneath Mortal Kombat, and Quan Chi and Cyber Sub-Zero are unlocked from the get go (in the normal version these characters are unlocked via story mode). If you missed out on this game the first time around, this is a great option to get into it as you'll get everything for $60. Excellent fighting game--good amount of single player stuff to do, and it includes tag battles which can be fun with a group of friends. This is one of my favorite fighting games and I think any fighting game fan will enjoy it to some degree. If you're not a fighting game fan, this is probably your best bet for a game to just mash around in (this or Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom) and have fun. Expand
  3. The AI in this game is such a pain that I had to knock 2 points off of the total score. The Ai is beyond frustrating sometimes. This game includes the best fatalities ever in MK, nice selection of characters, and a pretty waesome storyline for a brawler type game. The only problem is that the AI in the story mode become God-liek at points which make me want to break my controller. Online multiplayer is a blast. Expand
  4. A great reboot for a series that has suffered for quite some time. The campaign is of solid length and actually has a solid story. Gameplay is good and incredibly brutal. Pointless collectibles (such as concept art and music) and drawn out achievements force you to play the game more then you should have too. Small roster of fighters (a little over 20 with all the DLC) and the only DLC character actually worth having is Freddy Kruger. Overall, It's a good reboot but I think if they cutdown on the collectibles, make achievements easier, and added more fighters then it'd be a much better game. Expand
