Best Darn Fighter I've Laid My Mitts On
Alright I'll keep this short.
Got my game at midnight and these are my thoughts thusfar.
The game is bad ass.
It's the most polished fighter I've seen in a LONG time.
Lets break down the graphics first.
- Good engine that allows awsome lighting effects. Shaows of the fighters being cast on walls are one of the great things about it.
-Great character models and motion caps
-Beautiful stage design gives a great feel to immerse you into the mortal kombat univers.
-Special effects are great
Some gameplay highlights.
-Smoother gameplay experience than previous MK games
-A great retelling of the Mortal Kombat canon( voice acting was also pretty damn good if you ask me)
-LOTS TO DO. Story mode , 300 challenges to complete, secrets to find and multiplayer.
-Fleshed out multiplayer features such as the king of the hill spectator feature.
-Plenty of characters to choose from with each having pretty unique feel to them.
-The game is tough, normal mode is a run for your money in the storymode.
-Fatalties are more awsome then ever . (2-4 per character)
-Beefy Tutorial section.
Lots of unlockable stuff.
nostalgia :)
Some cons that I would like to note though
-Hard gameplay can result in some cheap tactics if thats not your thing.
-The multiplayer as far as I have experienced has not been functioning too well, this is common in the world of new releases :)
- 2 v 2 tag can be done online + local with 4 players but the problem is that 1 team of 2 players have to be on the same machine. would have been great if 4 player tag team could be completely online.
-Some characters seem a little too overpowered at the moment like ermac, who does not delay after input to execute certain moves making it unfair at times not being given a chance to block.
- A few broken combos that lead to crazy amounts of damage
IMO it is worth every penny. For fight fans or beginners alike. The level of polish on this title should be a standard in the genre, was a good refreshing feel to finally get a fighter that I don't want to sell back :D
