Without blood and real fatalities this just isn't mortal kombat to me. I remember playing part one and two in the arcade as a kid, and just loving the games. But each sequel just gotta a little less appealing to me. The game play is just drawn out now, and when I saw the whole falling down fighting system they put into this game, I realized that midway ( well mr boon to be exact ) didnt really try to do something new with this game they just added something new and tried to act like they reinvented the series. I have yet to play this game and in all honesty im not going to go out of my way to either. Mortal kombat has one of the best stories and some of the most original characters out there, but to me this game was a step in the wrong direction for the series ( and I realize that midway has major financial issues so this was an attempt to make this game appeal to more people by adding in the DC twist ).
My 2cents...
