Excellent to hear, I have always loved MK more than any other fighting game, glad to see it going back to its roots.

And for good reason. After the disappointment that was MVC3 this game came out and showed Crapcom who's still in charge when it comes to fighting games.

Still in charge? They were never "in charge," Mortal Kombat games could never match up to the depth of play and balance that Capcom/SNK games could. It's only really this game that has demonstrated a concerted, working effort to create an actually deep combat engine, besides just being gory.

I liked the older Mortal Kombats a lot, they were my favourite games for a time, but once you get into the other fighting games like KOF, SFA/SF3, Guilty Gear etc., there's just no comparison.

My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.

That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories

Deception, MK2, MK9, MKX ..rest.

MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.

1 and 2 were cultural phenomenon's.

I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
