Still a force to be reckoned with, Mortal Kombat XL represents a complete game experience for both multi and single-player. While Mortal Kombat may still have a way to go before it catches up to Street Fighter‘s gameplay, it’s definitely not lacking in the content department. If you are a late adopter to this game, and went right to MKXL without having to pay for a bunch of DLC, consider yourself lucky.
Cultured Vultures: With 14 proper entries, we've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games. Special Forces is clearly number one.
MK1 was impressive for its time, but it had little more than digitized actors and over-the-top ultra-violence to shine compared to the japanese competition. The gameplay was punchy but that's about it: the animations were super-stiff, jumps were all the same, and no combos kept it from standing shoulder to shoulder with a certain Street Fighter II.
The MK series really only grew to become a serious opponent among japanese fighting games with MK9 (or simply Mortal Kombat as it was called) on the PS3/Xbox 360. Its 2 sequels MK X/MK XL & MK 11/MK 11 Ultimate followed suit and, what can I say, it's pretty much awesome now. I for one especially like those guest characters they have in those games now. I never got to play as Freddy since I only have the base MK 9, but man I sure enjoyed playing as Leatherface and Jason in MK XL, just like I'm sure I'll have fun playing as Robocop and the Terminator once I grab MK 11 Ultimate.
This list is missing amageddon, the only entry with all characters. This list was made by a kid who was not around in the early days of MK
