    I understand online play not being on PS2, but XBOX? There is no excuse!

    This game is so innovative to the Mortal Kombat franchise, if Ed Boon and the rest of the team at Midway keep this up, then the series is going far. The only real gripe I had about this game was the gameplay mechanic. It... Read Full Review
