Mortal Kombat XL is indeed a bigger and better edition from last year’s already fantastic installment of Mortal Kombat X, which again is released on all major platforms. Just like any other re-release in the market, XL features everything you’ll find in the original game with the added bonus of every piece of released DLC being nicely available on disc from the off.
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
