Looks great, like a return to form. I have not touched an mk game since 3 but this one might bring me back.

This looks good. It seems like Mortal Kombat II 2010. I really haven't played many video games since the mid 90's, my last game consold was the N64 and the last MK video game I played was MK4, but this one looks good. A lot of the familiar stages from the first 3 Mortal Kombat games, plus all the familiar characters. The design of these stages look great.

Looks awesome! Love the new takes on the old backgrounds. One of my favs was always the living forest and it looks awesome on this new game!

Believe me, you didn't miss anything. The 3D MKs weren't good. Instead of being focused on doing what MK does best, they tried to add depth to the series (three fighting styles and dial-a-combo gameplay), but in the end they just felt flat and uninspired. The Fatalities weren't all that good either.

It's great to see MK going back to its roots. Like you said, MKII 2010. And that's a very good thing.

Umm MK Deadly Aliance was very good actually. MK3 started the dial A Kombo. Deadly Aliance had the opposite.

Deadly Alliance removed the familiar controls in favor of a greater reliance on dial-a-combo gameplay. DA and Deception were trying to be what the other big-name fighters were rather than just being Mortal Kombat.

And no, it wasn't as good as the classic MK games. Which is what I meant when I said they "weren't good."

I actually really liked Deception, although they neutered Kabal from what he was in MK3. Deception felt a little more polished than Deadly Alliance (to me anyway). Armageddon was just ridiculous.

yeah, I liked Deadly Alliance. Deception was okay. Armageddon was just overkill. By that point, I was bored with the fighting system. It was in dire need of a complete overhaul.
