A great game for anyone....especially if you have a friend to play with.

First I want to tell you that you don't have to be a huge fan of Mortal Kombat to like this game (all parts of the "story" are introduced in this game). I first got this just because it looked pretty fun and because I had a little bit of fun playing MK: Deception at my friend's house. I thought it sounded cool because they were changing a fighting series into an action game. I put it in my PS2, I played about an hour, and I thought "Hmmm...nothing amazing but it's pretty damn fun none the less". The next day my friend came over and I showed him the game, he said he had just go t the game to. I was like "OMG no way" (lol). Anyways we decided to try out the co-op; there is no way other to explain it than this, "FREAKING AWESOME!". The way you work with your friend is so much fun: you have to learn how to use your special moves together and do fatalities, brutalities, and w/e the f**k else. BREAKDOWN-
Gameplay: This is what makes the game awesome. All of the _ _ _talities, character special moves, button-mashing, boss battles, and a little bit of puzzle solving.
Graphics: The graphics are not ground-breaking, about average for PS2.
Story: Not amazingly interesting, but adds a little bit to the fun.
I definitely reccomend this game to anyone looking for a really fun game (for cheap, I'm guessing it's $20 or less now), and I want to multiply that reccomendation by 10 if you have a friend who would play this game with you.
