JD - Mortal Kombat Is A Bloody Great Return - Review

JD - The only draw back to the game is some of the cheap boss battles you have to endure. Some of these guys are nearly invincible, rattling off combos that you can't defend and ignoring your feeble attempts at mounting any kind of offense. But after a few spine-pretzeling defeats the game does ease up a bit. Plus, there are a total of five difficulties from beginner to masochist.

humm? Another review fail nothing new here! Amateurs at their finnest grading another below average game high!

lochdoun4736d ago

I agree, this feels like a budget game.
It's no wonder why it dropped to $30 in 2 weeks.
The menu's look cheep, too many loading screens, bad tutorial system, cant skip cutscenes, and no manual. A fighting game with no manual is inexcusable!!!

LOOK_AT_THIS_I4736d ago (Edited 4736d ago )

thats why they put everything on the pause menu. I dont seem to remember having a move list in street fighter or tekken either.

MK haters are gonna hate, theres always Marvel vs Capcom 3, or Street Fighter Super Alpha Extreme Arcade 2 that will be released 6 months after the previous game releases that you can look forward to.

AWWWWW, look at the 2 of you together, trolling like an old married couple:) You even copy/pasted the same fail comments!

MK is awesome, the move list in game is so much easier than the booklet anyway. Oh and if you don't like the cutscenes than don't play story mode. Problem solved.

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.

Kakashi Hatake162d ago

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
