The definitive Mortal Kombat Game!!!,
In late 1992 I walked into an Arcade at the age of 10 years old. 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 have literally an endless supply of options to tweak the game as you see fit.
All the classic characters and favorites included in the game are well represented. All of the costumes are here too…from the 90′s style uniforms to unlock-able classics and sweet special outfits. No one will regret this purchase. If you want THE BEST fighting game of recent memory (and yes I play them all) along with the most diverse set of options and FUN modes, then this is your ticket.
The extreme and even “offensive” (haha) violence, awesome sound, and immense fun is finally back with a wonderful new fighting engine and all the things that made a 10 year old boy spend hundreds of quarters at the arcade all those years ago. Mortal Kombat has FINALLY returned!!!
Note: Ignore the one star review. If it doesn’t get deleted by Amazon in the first place, the guy has no clue what he’s talking about…which is obvious. The Xbox 360 version actually has slightly sharper textures, and a Cleaner and Darker look to it..not to mention better lighting/shadow casting. This is from a side by side comparison..and a GPU based difference in the two games. You can visit lensoftruth.com to see the difference if you want. I’m not bashing the PS3 version though, it is basically equal to the 360 version and vice versa. You are buying one beauty of a game on EITHER console.

|Some Mortal Honesty for Xbox Owners,
No Second Fiddle Here
I am writing this review to hopefully put some minds at ease. 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 from the get-go. I actually prefer using the 360 controller for competitive matches, a mere preference of mine.
About Kratos
I know a lot of 360 owners are bummed about not getting an exclusive character. In fact this is the only legitimate area where the PS3 has an advantage in my opinion. I can tell you that while Kratos is cool, he is only available to use in the versus mode and does not affect the main store aspects. He does fit in nicely with the Mortal Kombat universe and has spiffy special moves and fatalities. So maybe check them out on You-Tube for a grin and go back to the rich and fully-satisfying Xbox version. After all, you are not missing much, certainly not enough for me to deduct a star. You do get to use your custom avatar in the online King of the Hill Mode, which is rather cool, too.
If you have any questions about either game on either system, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll be happy to answer as soon I can. Till then, enjoy the excellent experience that is Mortal Kombat.

|A classic reborn.,
Having just picked this up I’ve had a couple of hours to test drive it before heading off to work. 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 are far from bad. As a previous reviewer stated, both consoles are about even and graphics are actually pretty impressive (comparing it to other fighting games).
With that said, I still need to explore the single player more for the review to be truly fair. But lets be honest, this game is designed to be played locally with friends and at that it succeeds. This will definitely be a go to game any time your looking to get a few friends together and have a good time.
