While the original Mortal Kombat certainly created a stir, it was Mortal Kombat II that absolutely blew up and made Midway's fighting game into a series that continues on to this day. The 1993 arcade game did everything you wanted a sequel to do: It gave you new characters, a healthy number of new moves, cutting-edge graphics (well, cutting edge for 1993, anyway), and a perfect reason to hang out in seedy arcades at all hours of the night. It's been successfully ported to multiple home machines over the years, and now it's back again as a downloadable game for the PlayStation 3.

In this revealing interview, you'll have the chance to meet Richard Divizio, the original actor behind some of the iconic characters from Mortal Kombat…
There's so much more to it than just gore
Max dood had that shyt censored on his video. Realistic gore bruh something that might get the gov involved.
I remembered a big DISASTER at MK Vs DC without Fatalities... So no.. I ll not forget about Fatalities..
yeah that one i like to forget about. No gore either. Although the first Mk didn't have blood... you needed to turn on 'Blood mode'
What? Mortal Kombat's initial appeal WAS blood. Outside of red impact pixels, Street Fighter didn't have it. Fatal Fury didn't have it. Pit Fighter didn't have it.
You roll up to a machine of Mortal Kombat at your local arcade or bowling alley and you are there to watch people uppercut blood onto the floor and bodies onto spikes, lol.
You didn't need a code. You only needed a quarter.
It was only the Nintendo releases that didn't have blood. I think you're only referring to the Genesis on the blood code?
Mortal Kombat 2 source code has surfaced online; the code features various canned assets, sprites, and animations that can finally be viewed.
Yeap, I agree that the online mode seems rushed. Sure you'll get to play online, but who you challenge is random.
Ok when I read the article, in my head it sounded like Adam Sessler was giving the review! No more G4TV, and x-play for me! Good to know about the online though, I was thinking about downloading the game, now not so much!
