So this game:
Forget about the crappy 3-d games, go back and remember the Mortal Kombat - Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know that this is an RPG forum, but EVERYBODY played or knew about those games, because they were timeless.
Then Midway ran into some financial problems and the series tried to go 3D less than successfully. The terrible trip into 3D Mortal Kombat games ended in the TERRIBLE MK vs DC game.
FORGET THE HOKEY STUFF
Mortal Kombat 2011 is a return to old school gameplay with just a touch of the new. Goofy gimmicks are gone (some fun gimmicks are staying/introduced). This game is the MORTAL KOMBAT that we have been waiting for since UMK3 almost 20years ago.
This game is fluid, responsive, and fun. A return to the darker Mortal Kombat days, with added modes for casual players (TEST YOUR LUCK). If your looking for a nostalgia fix, this is the ultimate Mortal Kombat Nostalgia fix. Its accessible, fluid, and fun with just enough depth to be taken seriously along with Tekken and Street Fighter.
Please give this game a chance, the last several were not so good, but THIS is the Return of Mortal Kombat.
and dang it, if I havent persuaded you yet:

LET MORTAL KOMBAT BEGIN!
