AC - As a person that has played the original Mortal Kombat, several installments of Soul Calibur, Tekken, Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, Killer Instinct, and many other fighting games, I can say with absolute certainty that this is a contender as one of the best fighting games of all time. It is the full package as they say; solid gameplay, depth, powerful and unique character development, and a story line that is 5+ hours of pure rated M joy. Buy it, play it, and savor every moment.
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

they gave Portal2 a 86%,
im not taking them seriously!
they reviews seem as if they just want to paste scores.
and i don't like it when people try to mislead consumers...
fans of the franchise, please don't get offended.
it's a very excellent game but i am talking about,
the site and how they reviews deliberately put
certain games down for no good reason.
MK is my dream return to one of my top 5 franchises of all time! good to have you back MK and I hope you're in the running for GOTY and NOT just the fighting goty. The many years this franchise has been around as a proven one, even through the rough times. This game has outlasted so many others and also so many new games are getting goty lately. Not saying they don't deserve it. But this is a legend of a game that has come out beyond my expectations and has me excited to see the franchise doing great again. This is the most excited I've been for MK since the arcade/genesis days!
