@slayhay not really..it changes stuff from the original storyline..yes it goes back to the first 3 mk games storyline but there's stuff happening in the story that doesn't happen in the original games 15 years ago
@xNINJAxLUMPIAx what game are you talking about? this one or some of the older games?
if you are talking about this one,go to training and select fatality training and pick a character,after that its says which buttons you should press and you can do it as long as you want
i <3 Mortal Kombat, but i wish they would get better music for it. That old music was fine for the older games but i was hoping for newer, sinister themes for this one to add to the atmosphere of the new graphics.
@dmajorhiphopproducer ign put the music into the video this isnt in the game i already played the demo on my friends ps3 and the music is a more sinister update of the old games
@cheesealtar yeah i was referring to the demo actually. i played it on my ps3. i have to say that's the only part i think still needs some improvement but the rest is very good. but that's just my opinion. If it had a better score or something a bit more interesting i think it would be freaking awesome. :/ maybe it won't seem that bad in the final version when u got a good fight going on with the other characters too though.
@TheGoku1990 normal to me and you my friend but unfortunately we have no R18+ classification in Australia =( and they say the fatalities are too gruesome and violent and blah blah blah to give it an MA15+ so it is banned. Makes one want to cry T.T
@Zappafan1980 I couldn't agree with you more mate. Treating adults like children is just pathetic on so many levels.. =( I would actually like to know if the people banning the game in various countries or whatnot believe that millions will not just be downloading or importing it anyway.... and so that said countries money that could go back into their own country now is going elsewhere lol silly people!
@Zappafan1980 ROFLMAO!! in that case i guess if they knew me they would think i was well overdue to go on a bloodlust fueled knife waving gun wielding massacre while casting fire lvl 3 it seems =P
that's nothing! ever since Super Mario Bros i can't help myself from going outside to jump on turtles, go into drain pipes. and fight giant lizards to safe princesses!! :P
that debate is going on in every country...usually by non-gamers. its true that a sick (really sick, like disturbed sick) mind may get idea's (they likely already have BTW and the reason they bought the game in the first place)
@ostepobss yeah apparently the fatalities are too much for our Aussie minds to handle.. =( they rated it R18+ and Aus doesn't have an R18+ rating system in place currently so yeah it's banned T.T
as i understand it Australia doesn't have a adult rating. 15 year is as high as they go. which means they are behind the times, its not like the 70s-80s were games were seen as something only kids would play, ever sins the 90s more games have aimed at adults, including MK. the average gamer is said to be 25 at least far above 15...
thumbs up if you like mortal kombat cuz its just a simple but bloody game, not like other complicated control games cough cough street fighter cough cough
@marcjon000 cough cough street fighter is more populer cough cough , simple controls get boring in fighting games, combos make games last longer as you want to learn more.
This Mortal Kombat is so fucking sick, I am happy to say that, Mortal Kombat is back. They did such a good job that new people are going to start playing... This is good because I will utterly Bend them over and have my way with them. April 19th could not come fast enough...
i cant wait to get this game and kick everyones ass who stands in my way Ermac is back to watch it. if you see me online you wont live to tell the tale
@Elektriber sorry bossman its just that i had a ps3 then went to 360 and it went red rings on me soo i dont like it ever it was money wasted soo im back with me ps3 :D better processors and graphics and stuff
that's your prob not mine , all im saying is that Netherealm or whatever it is now should have consideration for all the gamers not just the ones that have a PS3 or is it just about money?
thanks man , i wanna make it clear im not here for stupid fights about the xbox is better than ps3 blabalbala i'm an old skool gamer so i know that at the end we're all gamers and i think that at the end the game is the same.
