Gamespot's score was way too low
The gameplay in this game is crazy! You just run around punching and throwing people into the air and then run and throw them to the ground. Its free roaming sort of thing but sort of in a confined arena, with your partner or solo. The max combo i ever preformed was a 57 hit combo which consisted of a game of pass between me and my partner, it was totally crazy!
The bosses are larger than life, they don't get knocked down with few hits they pick you up and throw you or try to stomp on you. At a point in the game you must fight Shang Tsung, Kintaro and Shao Kahn in a row with the same health as you had since the beggining. I believe that boss fight is too hard, it makes the game almost impossible to beat!
The fatalities are much easier to do than in the previous Mortal Kombat's you just enter the combonation when a box shows up. You get much more time and you see what you put in as you do it! Liu kangs Shaolin Soccer and Dragon are just some of the wicked sick fatalities in this game! So definetly use these to get fatality bonus points from 600-700 so you can use these to buy new specials.
So definetly pick up this game at the nearest game store if your looking for alot of fun.
