    A fighter that never let's up

    Mortal kombat 9 manages to accomplish a rare feat. that most video games now a days can't dare to dream of and that is to actually be worth the 60 dollar price tag. It has a complete and masterful story mode that manages to tell a ridiculas story properly with a serious tone that just makes you take in all the cheesy lines and cheer for the game. Although the krypt comes back it's not as big as the past entries but mk9 makes up for it by adding a new welcomed feature called the challeng tower which is 300 total challenges that for the most part are fun. In a fighting it's all about taking the punches and seeing if it can take it, for the most part mk9 takes it like a champ. That brings me to the gameplay were mk9 shines the most, Nether Realm Studios listen to their fans and decided to go back to their roots which was 2D and violence. The game has a faster pace compared to it's 3D counter parts and much more smoother with a revamped engine that makes mk9 look great in particular the details like the hands movements, the clothe the characters were, and the backgrounds they all look very vivid. Like most mk's the gameplay is not to hard to understand most gamers can pick it up and play with casuals and still have a blast but when two greats go at it you can tell what kind of potential this game has at a professional level. To end my review I will simply say buy this game it's the most fun I've had this year so far and hope that it gets more recognition later on this year

      Get Over Here...and play Mortal Kombat! 0

      Mortal Kombat 2011 Mortal Kombat comes back strong and hard for its ninth installment titled simply Mortal Kombat.

The story begins after the events of Mortal Kombat Armageddon. As Shao Kahn is about to finish Raiden off, he sends a message to his past sel...
