Test Your Luck In Mortal Kombat's Challenge Tower
9:06 AM CST - Patrick McCarron
Late last month a French game site Jeuxvideo posted a questionable hands on review of an early version of Mortal Kombat (2011). In the review they discuss the presence of a the classic Test Your Might and Test Your Sight mini-games along with two new ones: Test Your Strike and Test Your Luck.
Well it turns out their information was correct. IGN just posted a video that takes a look at the Challenge Tower and Test Your Luck features of Mortal Kombat (2011).
The Challenge Tower looks to be quite interesting, it is made of over 300 different missions. Like there is a mode where Sub-Zero teaming up with Scorpion to battle Shao Kahn when there is limited damage settings enabled. The video also shows Stryker and Johnny Cage fighting off zombies in the Graveyard, as well as Stryker in some grenade throwing mini-game.
Test Your Luck is new feature that pits you against random ever changing unique game variables like the fighters not having arms, sticky floors and upside down fighting. Imagine if they took the Kombat Kodes from Mortal Kombat 3 and made them crazier and random.

Mortal Kombat Demo for PSN Plus Members March 8th
It's been rumored for a long while, and the PlayStation blog just confirmed it, a Mortal Kombat (2011) demo will be available on the PlayStation Network for PlayStation Plus members on March 8th, 2011. Yes that's next week! PlayStation Plus is a premium version of the PlayStation Network that costs $18 for 3 Months, or $50 for a year. After one week it will be available for non-Plus subscribers and eventually will be available for Xbox 360 users.
It's likely this version is also the same version that will be available at the Mortal Kombat Truck Tour that is starting to tour the country today. It's already known that the PAX East Demo is different which leads us to believe that this is similar to the version going on tour.

That video shows exactly why the MK series went into the realm of GARBAGE after MK2. I don't give a damn about shooting zombies or giving a teddy bear to scorpion. Or fighting a boss who changes color and my attacks only hurt him when the right color is chosen (ala Ikaruga or whatever that shump is.)
^^ you might not give a damn, but i do. the fighting itself looks on-point, & that's obviously the most important thing.. but the extras look dope to me. some of this shit looks to be pretty innovative for a fighting game, & should extend the game's life for alot of people. the way i see it, they're going the extra mile to make sure MK9 is worth the $60 they'll be charging for it.
this is the complete opposite of a company releasing a bare-bones game for full price & then fucking the consumer with DLC for all the shit that should have been included in the 1st place *cough*MvC3*cough*

Extend the games life by building on good mechanics and core gameplay. Why do you think SF has the following it does? You don't see such absurd madness in SF4 or SSF4 do you? They're going the extra mile to make sure people forget about this game.
7.5 - 8.3 watch when the reviews come in, and if it is anything higher, I'll have no problem saying I was wrong.
