Mortal Kombat

gameinformer.com review
The only area where Mortal Kombat feels antiquated is in its AI. On the higher difficulty levels, computer opponents are as quick-witted and fast-acting as the Flash. Bosses are annoyingly cheap. I realize they should be tougher than standard opponents, but giving them immunity to any attack, even when your foot is clearly crushing their face, is an artificial difficulty booster that should have stayed in the past. The other minor complaint I have is the lack of new characters, especially from a team that has such a history of creating memorable fighters.

After about a full week of playing Mortal Kombat every day, it completely changed my outlook on what fighting games can offer -- not only to the competitive fighting game elite, but also casual players alike.

New to the game's battle system is a power gauge, which allows you to either modify special attacks to make them more powerful with small amounts of the meter, or save up and use a full gauge to perform devastating "X-Ray" attacks. Though it is generally more practical in battle to deliver strong attacks in short bursts, I often found myself saving up for the latter, as "X-Ray" attacks are a lot cooler than they sound. What happens when you perform an X-Ray attack is the camera slows down, and the action zooms in to where you are about to hit. The flesh is then stripped away and you can see bone, muscles, and internal organs as they shatter, squish, and break. X-Ray attacks are almost as entertaining as the series' famous fatalities, and are just as over the top. If you can't get up and kick someone's butt after being repeatedly stabbed in the back of the head until your skull fractures, you're just not trying.

Ultimately, Mortal Kombat is an excellent game and, hopefully, it marks a rebirth of the franchise rather than just a one-off. It's been a long time in the making and we can't wait to see the improvements that will undoubtedly kome over time.
