DHGF: Mortal Kombat 9 is the best version of Mortal Kombat since MKII back in 1993. The game looks great, plays well enough that both casual gamers and diehard fighting game fans can enjoy it on different levels, and the story mode really blows any and every other fighting game out of the water in terms of plot, characterization and storytelling…which wasn’t that hard of a task to begin with actually. With NetherRealm Studios going away from second rate cart racers and “chess kombat” and instead focusing on a tight well made fighting game engine, Mortal Kombat is all the better for it. Throw in the Challenge Tower, a new tag team mode and more content than we’ve seen out of any other fighting game in this current console generation, and you have yourselves a winner. Between this and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, 2011 is a great time to be a fighting game fan.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
The catched the woke virus after that, saying for MK 10 that "Female Characters Will Be More Realistically Proportioned". You could still rip a spine or blow a head in a bloody explosion, but don't you dare to show a side boob or all hell will break loose.
The ladies in MK9 look like men in drag. They are so buff and their faces are so bad, I don’t feel like we lost anything aside from some sexy costumes. But sexy costumes in drags do not appeal to me.
A Mortal Kombat Remaster could be in development, as teased by the Eyeballistic CEO on Twitter through allegedly AI-generated images.
Didn't they have HD remakes of the first 3 games ready and for some reason decided not to release it? And also, wasn't a remake of the first game being developed already with all new actors portraying the original cast and they shelved that one too?
It's all they know how to do now huh ? Could've atleast have a look at remaking/remastering Shaolin Monks.
GameSpew: Episode 3 of The Boys season 4 parodied Mortal Kombat with Vought's Tournament of Heroes. Now we want it to be real.
