CGRundertow MORTAL KOMBAT for PlayStation 3 Video Game Review

[TheRealSirLamont]

Damn these games. I can own at MK9, but when I play the older ones, they act so cheap. Plus you need to be fast to do fatalities.

@pferde20 Bouble trouble for iPod touch

[Luigi84289]

Dude you have no idea what you are talking about. This game is not hard and anybody who grew up with it will agree with me. Yes it does take skill it's an oldschool fighting game but it can be beat with about 5 dollars the first time playing if you are really good. It is one of the most satisfying and enjoyable fighting games ever. Find the character that's right for you and master them. I beat it in the arcades the first time I played it and still own the genesis version.

[evildead818]

i used to hate the arcade version at the local arcade spot back in the day because the owner of the restaraunt owned the arcade and he would have it set up in very hard difficulty and you had to pay the 50 cents on top of that. finally the 1st player joystick was broken and u wernt able to back up , only go foward

[RetroToledo]

@evildead818 Sounds like a loser arcade establishment.

[Luigi84289]

@evildead818 Damn that's ridiculous. Pizza Time where I used to go always had it set to the middle difficulty and it was only 1 quarter a play. The arcades back then were so much better than what we have today. Everyone would be huddled around a seasoned player watching him demolish whatever he was playing. Arcades now are just electronic gyms with some traditional style games thrown in. Some of them have retro sections but they're always barren. Funspot is one of the last real arcades.

[tres311]

You know I must admit, deadly alliance was my favorite. The way your combos rolled thru ur diff fight styles and u could move 360 and deception was good the same if I remember correctly but no shang tsun which pissed me off or his moves were diff

[DAM3isLegend]

lol dude you really reeeeeeally suck at this game.

[Lauri3000]

Moral Kombat has sawed multi-player?

[nintendoboy17]

"Sub-Zero and Scorpion, who are the same character with their colors changed."

WRONG! Even in MKI, Sub-Zero and Scorpion are different characters. Their own set of moves (Scorpions' Spear, Sub-Zero's ice) and personalities determine that. If you're going to go by that logic Ryan, then Kitana and Mileena (from Mortal Kombat II) are the same just because of color change.

[kiaelinkx]

@nintendoboy17 he meant they're acted by the same actor...

[nintendoboy17]

@kiaelinkx Still, he said "character." Even if they are played by the same actor, they can still be entirely different characters.

[Luigi84289]

@nintendoboy17 Reptile appears in the game too as a hidden opponent. He's the same ninja sprite as scorpion and sub-zero with both of their attacks.

[carniveron]

i have tried so many times to like mortal kombat. i guess i got spoiled by having played street fighter 2 turbo first. it always felt like a huge step backwards, clunky and hellishly difficult.

[digioverlord]

@carniveron yeah they were realy just relying on the gore to sell it xD

[blahmehblah1]

@carniveron Street fighter spoiled you? What a laugh

[carniveron]

@blahmehblah1 in the sense that it's a faster moving game. mortal kombat feels too slow. if you think that's not accurate then i would venture a guess you've never played either.

[Pentagram619]

@carniveron it is slow. Mainly because it wasnt meant to be a serious fighting game. Unlike the newer one, the original MK was there just to be fun

[blahmehblah1]

@carniveron Then you'd be venturing into a shitpit

[blahmehblah1]

@carniveron Fast moving games annoy me, to each their own

[Luigi84289]

@carniveron MK? It's easy as hell man now MK2 THAT was clunky and hellishly difficult. I beat Mortal Kombat back in the arcades when it first came out.

[carniveron]

@Luigi84289 I have only offered my opinion. I did not enjoy the slow pace enough to master it, and I have given it a second, third, and fourth look over the years. Just not my style.

[MrMoneyclips]

SOPA BAD. BOOBS GOOD.

[DeVstatrOmga]

Watch out! Copy right infringement ALL OVER THIS review. Better SHUT the channel down CGRundertow. SO says the U.S. Government. DERP!

[megatomik]

I want your intro theme as my ringtone!

[00sm4]

Seriously? We're reviewing mortal kombat one again? I mean, if we do, do we really have to go over the history of the series? Don't we all know? Does anyone not know?

You know what, I'm sorry. I'm being annoyed because I'm having a bad day. Ignore me.

[supremeprime1997]

Mortal Kombat should have the guy from will it blend and his fatality should be him sticking you in a blender and pressing the on switch.

[MrBateman85]

Why so many dislikes? Thats a good review of a legendary game. You can tell that this guy truly appreciates it so everything is cool xD

[GamerNinjaX]

@MrBateman85 he didnt get into the gameplay much, he basically said the reason why he loved the game was violence and that is not professional at all.

[StoneBeezt2]

@GamerNinjaX So you're saying that one of the pinnacle selling points of this game wasn't violence and shouldn't be incorporated into the review?

[GamerNinjaX]

@StoneBeezt2 no not at all, I was saying that he focused too much on the concept of blood and gore, while yes it was its main selling point and I am glad he talked about, its just that he barely even talked about the game itself. Catch my drift?

[kiaelinkx]

@GamerNinjaX ... many ppl went to mk cuz of the gore. it's not professionalism needed here, it was just the opinion of milions of ppl.

[papatoony]

Ok, so where's the PS3 version?

[joeyseto]

still have the genesis version FTW

[MrBateman85]

@joeyseto yeah, I have that one as well, also play it more often than the Sega CD version due to the atrocius loading times (But with a couple of more sprites and a lot more speech samples). Snes vers. sucks without saying. Actually the game gear version also has a blood code and is quite enjoyable:)

[specialformula14]

sry this review is not good.. was this kid even born when this game came out? ever played the machine?

[gremistaman]

I suck at MK, but you suck with class man...

[Django333]

You would think a game reviewer wouldn't be so bad at video games.

[YourLocalVlogService]

@Django333 nah he's just not good at this game. there's other games besides fighting games, y'know.

[1sayanbakshi]

Derek should review everything in CGR Undertow

[nintendoboy17]

@1sayanbakshi Oh please god, no. He lost it after Super Mario Land. That and he is completely ignorant at anime/manga based games, even if they are bad.

[galagajunkie]

How hard would it have been to show more interesting gameplay, like some fatalities or not playing like a retard?

[blankvsblank]

This game isn't THAT hard, you just are terrible at it (SEE GAME PLAY FOOTAGE)

[blackskullthunder]

Am I the only one who thinks that Goro's name, is a play on the word gore? I'm generally curious.

[fiddlebender88]

OMG IT'S NOT A FLAT DISPLAY!

[DaveJolieIV]

Watching a 20 year old game in HD = Fuck Yeah

[junj03]

HARD

AS

FCK

[FarcasMircea]

Get Over HERE !!!!

[talktal]

finish him!

[KITT171]

When I think Mortal Kombat I think this, II, and 3 Ultimate, as far as I know, there was no more made...

[SoupaFace]

no fatality?...that would've been the best way to end the video...! :(

[FamousDave2186]

@SoupaFace well when the CPU is kicking your butt doesn't always happen.

[ajharney]

Cgr forever

[7748smile]

FIRST LIKE WOOT...anyway i love dis game

[christopherspaethe1]

Hey, what's that guy from Big Trouble in Little China doing in this game?

[Uplink199]

Holy crap
