After a not so well received Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe hit the market, Ed Boon and the Mortal Kombat franchise are looking to rebound with an exclusive character on at least one of the consoles."
Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
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
He fits perfectly to.
Can't wait to do fatalities with him (i hope he has them),
hell i hope there is a level where instead of being kicked into a whole with spikes, One of Kratos Fatalities would be kicking a dude into hades realm. That would be sweet.
Not even the gods in MK are safe
No way. This is freaking perfect, I've been saying this for years. I don't think 360 even has anyone that could be an alternate character on the platform, I guess its down to the 'SC2 Spawn' situation again.
I remember Hip Hop gamer asked Stig about Kratos being in the next MK and he was down for it. Even discussed what his fatalty would be. Ed Boon musta heard. Regardless, the game looks fuckin great.
I'd rather him in Soul Calibur.
Awesome!! MK is looking stellar and things just got better! Ahh man Kratos XRay move is going to kick so much ass!! Kratos vs Sub Zero or Scorpion is going to be epic!
