There have been countless installments, including several spin-offs. With the ninth game in the series, fans were eager to see the game return to it’s roots, especially when it was given the title of simply Mortal Kombat. The game was originally released on both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, and it received praise from many critics. So when it was promised that they would deliver the same experience and more on the PlayStation Vita, fans were definitely excited to see if they were able to pull it off. Especially considering how much content was in the original game."

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.
That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories
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
I am loving this game on the Vita. It is just as good as the PS3 version.
This game has been getting great reviews and it probably is the best porta le fighter to date.
Only on Vital
