Mortal Kombat is BACK. Remember how you felt when you walked through the arcade and saw MK for the first time? That feeling will come shooting back as soon as you put the disc in. FIGHT!
Bloody, gory, ridiculous...no matter how hard you try to put it down, you will soon find yourself picking it back up. It immerses players in ways few fighting games - aside maybe from the last Capcom console outing - have ever done before. A tour de force!
I played most of mortal kombat games and this one always remains my favourite one.
The art, the story, the roste, it was all perfect, also the tag team mode was just great, it's to sad that they don't include this mode anymore
A mighty and great game, and the story mode, despite the reservations on it, is distinctive, and the characters and machines, something beyond description, accuracy and mastery despite the lack of combos, and excellent professional map drawing, and it may be the best in fighting games as a whole!!.
After many years of missteps, Mortal Kombat is, at last, back to its 2D glory. The latest chapter of the franchise will satisfy even the most demanding fans of the series, offering a wealth of offline modes, including probably the best Story Mode we have ever seen in the fighting genre.
Mortal Kombat is a well-polished, fantastic entry into the fighting genre. If you are not into fighting games, this one won't change your mind, but if you do enjoy picking up the sticks and throwing down, this one is for you. Overall, this is a fantastic package that exceeds expectations, and is definitely worth checking out.
Even if gamers may have to wait for something truly definitive, Mortal Kombat represents significant, praiseworthy progress for the series. A joyful respite for long-battered fans and a highly entertaining, bloodied distraction for the rest.
Borderline broken as a fighter, but, taken on its own meagre merits, a giggle to mess around with. Still, though, it falls a long way short of what could have been. [Issue#72, p.80]
This is the first Mortal Kombat game I've ever played.
I think the gameplay is a bit too slow but it feels very satisfying at times.
The story is interesting but nothing special, I like how they decided to reboot the series and make the story more consinstent.
But the highlight of the game is the amount of violence and action it has to offer, with the fatalities being the cherry on top.
Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.
It's more of a slap on the back for long time MK fans than a warm embrace. It's like a bad movie that you go to see just for the special effects. Regardless of what anyone says, it feels like UMK3 on training wheels.
Very poor fighting game. It is much to noob-friendly, and the small amount of combos make this a very poor game, not to mention the boring, personality-less character roster. Only play this if you are a MK fan.
