At 1 time I was a huge Mortal Combat fan, then I dunno, seemed like some of the later games wound up worse than the games before it, and other fighters progressed and got better, and next thing you know, Mortal Combat is known as the crap of fighting games.
I still liked the characters and stuff like that better than all the fighter series, but the game just could not hang with the Tekkens and Soul Blades. Today for the hell of it, I read reviews on MKDA, and I was shocked. From what I have read this latest installment of the MK series is not just a good fighter, it's a great fighter. I was stunned to here people saying they like it better than Tekken 4, or it's their favorite fighter of all, and I just had to go buy this game.
I have not got to play it yet, because my Xbox is being used for a DVD player right now, but I should be giving it a go here soon. This game sounds like it will be perfect for me. I loved the MK characters, and now with a revamped engine, a unlockable koffin mode thingy, and the power of the box to make the characters look even cooler, it seems impossible for this game to be either my favorite fighter of all time, or right up there.
By the way anyone know if the Xbox version looks better than PS 2's? I only bought Xbox's because I hoped it had better graphics, if it don't I was kinda dumb because i can probably unlock everything with a code on ps2. But I guess even if it does look the same, I will get more replay 1 player value out of it this way. Should be sweet playing this bad boy on my 52 in HDTV here soon, can't wait!
