NXT Gamer's Mike reviews Mortal Kombat...
"The Mortal Kombat series has been thrown from hand to hand over the past few years, especially since its previous owners, Midway, went under. This year developer NetherRealm Studios has attempted to bring Mortal Kombat back to its violent and bloodthirsty roots – but did they pull it off?"
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
Good score here
My brother do indeed like Mortal Kombat! With new revamped stages and new characters he enjoyed it very much! It been 10 years when he last played it!
I like it. Great game. Really frustrating at times, but really fun. Just don't buy it if you have a weak stomach there's a lot of blood.
the game is great but it still need some improving in some small areas
-record/playback feature, i love it but I wish there was button that could do for me
-move list remember what spot you was at, it gets a little annoying having to start back at the top of the list but the rb button(360) helps
-something that prevent players from spamming unblockable moves for example sheeva stomp. I can easily dodge it with some character but with others it be comes a pain.
*not improvement but things I want in the next installment*
-brutalities
-animalities
-hara-kiri(I want to annoy the hell out of some1 trying to pull a finisher on me)
-friendship
-keep the move system it got now, the old way aka dial a combo made some ppl lazy, the system it got now make ppl want to create their own combos/think, unless they like doing the basic 3-4 hit combos that only does 10-15% damage.
