GameZone writes, "Mortal Kombat wowed us when it hit consoles last year, and it’s likely to do so again when the PS Vita version arrives in a few months time. Though it’ll miss the launch window – and have to contend with Capcom’s one-two punch of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Street Fighter x Tekken – it’s sure to leave an impact all its own."
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
The fighting genre is full of mini-games, from Street Fighter's car destruction to Tekken Ball. Here's the best Mortal Kombat mini games.
Cultured Vultures: We've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games across the series' history. Special Forces is clearly number one.
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.
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.
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
They created a new engine for the Vita so this title should be very interesting to see.

good to see the Vita will have a lot of fighting games for it
you know, with that hacked ps3 with ps vita remote playing mortal kombat, i dont see the point of this game existing when the full on remote play is gonna be available soon, unless they are like vita bonuses to it.
Outlawed in Australia no doubt.
