    Mortal Kombat

    Game » consists of 26 releases. Released Apr 19, 2011

    One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).

    Is there no way to have a normal fight against the AI?

    @JazGalaxy: As far as I know, both Street Fighter and tekken have this feature. They are two of the biggest fighters out there today. I think its a flaw MK doesnt have this.

    I missed that too, not a big deal though. A thing that does bother me though is that there doesn't seem to be any way to restart the story mode, so if I'm 3 fights in and want to see the beginning for whatever reason I have to play through the entire thing? I remember wishing for chapter select in MK vs DC as well.

    You can play arcade ladder on multiple difficulties? I have never tried to just play a match vs the computer, can you do it in versus? I think there is some way you can do it because you can play a test your luck match against the AI I think.

    I'm pretty sure in Training it lets you do that. Not sure about choosing the level though. Also, you won't get any currency for the krypt.

    Coming from SSF4, which has this feature, it was disappointing to say the least. Also, and maybe it's just me. I was also kinda bummed that it didn't have a CPU vs. CPU option either. I liked watching it while I listen to podcasts and background noise.

    Training with no arms will make you the ultimate competitor! Also watch out for rockets and you're on fire.

    Hold on a second. Are you guys saying that this game does not have a player vs. CPU mode? Like I can't go to a menu and select my fighter, then who I want to fight, then the level I want to fight on? That seems crazy.

    The closest you can get is by reducing the slots in test your luck down to 2 reels. 1 reel selects a character and the other does a random thing. That's the closest but you can't even perform fatalities in it

    Wow. This is the most blatantly missing feature in a game ever.

    @MrKlorox:
    You think in a series that prides itself with content they would have that. I guess the best you can do is Training Mode, but you don't earn coins and the match never ends.

    It's a common feature in fighting games, I haven't played a modern fighting game that doesn't have a player vs computer option.

    My wild guess, off the top of my head: the only rational reason they wouldn't include this mode is because they didn't want to pull the curtain back on their AI difficulty levels.They didn't want you to be fighting a guy and say 'Oh, this guy is tier 2 level 3'. I can see a certain amount of merit in that I guess, but I'd rather have the mode.


    Or they just ran out of time, I dunno.

    Pretty sure MvC3 lacked this feature as well.

    You can go into practice mode and set up the AI level for a 1v1.
