Mortal Kombat is BACK. Remember how you felt when you walked through the arcade and saw MK for the first time? That feeling will come shooting back as soon as you put the disc in. FIGHT!

Bloody, gory, ridiculous...no matter how hard you try to put it down, you will soon find yourself picking it back up. It immerses players in ways few fighting games - aside maybe from the last Capcom console outing - have ever done before. A tour de force!

After many years of missteps, Mortal Kombat is, at last, back to its 2D glory. The latest chapter of the franchise will satisfy even the most demanding fans of the series, offering a wealth of offline modes, including probably the best Story Mode we have ever seen in the fighting genre.

Mortal Kombat is a well-polished, fantastic entry into the fighting genre. If you are not into fighting games, this one won't change your mind, but if you do enjoy picking up the sticks and throwing down, this one is for you. Overall, this is a fantastic package that exceeds expectations, and is definitely worth checking out.

Over-the-top, bloody, and bursting with content, Mortal Kombat is a return to form for the franchise.

Even if gamers may have to wait for something truly definitive, Mortal Kombat represents significant, praiseworthy progress for the series. A joyful respite for long-battered fans and a highly entertaining, bloodied distraction for the rest.

Borderline broken as a fighter, but, taken on its own meagre merits, a giggle to mess around with. Still, though, it falls a long way short of what could have been. [Issue#72, p.80]

Сначало сыграл на клаве, испортил себе впечатление, на геймпаде уже лучше но всё же история и персонажи не понравились

This is the first Mortal Kombat game I've ever played. I think the gameplay is a bit too slow but it feels very satisfying at times. The story is interesting but nothing special, I like how they decided to reboot the series and make the story more consinstent. But the highlight of the game is the amount of violence and action it has to offer, with the fatalities being the cherry on top. Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.

The story is one of the biggest middle fingers to the fanbase. They ruin the entire original timeline replacing the original story in a way that properly sets up into a **** new timeline. The new stuff they do is absolute garbage and fails to flesh out many characters and when they do, they manage to ruin them entirely. The character chapter system also applies a blatant power advantage for the heroes outside of ocassional cutscene fights. The gameplay is overall decent and has one of the better artstyles the series has seen.

It's more of a slap on the back for long time MK fans than a warm embrace. It's like a bad movie that you go to see just for the special effects. Regardless of what anyone says, it feels like UMK3 on training wheels.
