"Remember when these games were good? Yeah, me to."
Remember when these games were good? Yeah, me to. But lately they've all been going down hill, and probably will never again compare to the Mortal Kombat of the SNES era. Anywho, these XBox Mortal Kombats are terribly flawed and plain suck right down to the lack of combo's, slow fighting and bad control scheme.
Gameplay: 4/10
There are two main reasons that this is so bad. 1) The XBox controller! I HATE using the directional buttons on the XBox controller, let me use the damn joystick! 2) The SERIOUSLY bad combo's. There seem to be little number of combo's, and even them are slow and short. Another reason this game was so bad was its slow paced fights that could be terribly boring. But, like all games, there IS a little good to be found. That my friends, is the fighting styles. Every character has 2 unique fighting styles and a weapon which can be switched by pressing the L button. But, unlike most fighting games, multi-player isnt very fun at all. With all this in consideration, the final score is "4."
Graphics: 8/10
The graphics werent half bad, i've always wanted to see my favourite MK characters in full 3D. Ofcourse, I was pleased, but that doesnt mean they were picture perfect, there were some jagged and blocky bits here and there, but good for the most part. And high blood amounts!
Overall: 4.3/10
Its just not like its previous SNES installments, and that is a bad thing, those games were so good. But im sure that out there some serious MK fans will enjoy this to the fullest, regardless of what I think.
