Mortal Kombat

I am SERIOUSLY ready to get off this giant tin can. people are frequently at each other’s throats as well as on their last nerves. and the only thing we can thankfully get all our stress out (besides our daily dose of porn) is the excessive violent video games we seem to have accumulated on our travels, and sad to say. Marvel VS. Capcom just couldn’t get that far anymore for us. then another old favorite came to us. Mortal Kombat. this game kept many people awake for VERY obvious reasons.

So the gang’s all back and kicking as much ass as lightning bolts, throwing fans and bicycle kicks can do, but with a few MAJOR additions. yup, you guessed it. not a single flat chested woman in the bunch, and they jiggle as much as any perverted violent loving gamer could make them. And to top all that off, it’s gets even more perverted, cause you see, as they fight, not only do you see blood and gashes on their bodies, but OF COURSE, clothes get ripped and tattered. imagine how we all took to this new sight XP.

The storyline wasn’t all that different though. Shou Cohn holds a tournament, kills everyone at the end of it, Raiden sends a message back in time to stop it, alternate universe, blah blah blah. and you would think after a few MK games that they’d make a new use of all this technology now-a-days, you know? I mean, you have all these great graphics and stuff. but after seeing it once, why the hell would you want to see it over and over again? That’s right, you can’t skip through the scenes, or even pause for that matter. I mean seriously guys, it’s 2011, not all of us are into the storyline when violence and sex are involved. and even then the storyline and monologue sucked.

But the playing. now that was interesting. Especially the newly added special bar they added, which fills up when dealing and receiving damage. So there’s 3 different parts to the bar, the first bar (when filled up) allows you to strengthen a special (like with Nightwolf’s bow and arrow, instead of shooting 1, you shoot 3), which is a pretty nice way to stay on the offensive. The 2^nd bar (when filled) allows you to break right out of someone’s combo, so instead of being thrown into the air and getting kicked repeatedly over and over again for half of your health bar, you can break right out of it to deal some serious payback. But the 3^rd bar allows a special called an X-Ray attack, in which you attack and it shows the skeleton of the opponent, just in time to see you beating their teeth out, or digging your axes deep into someone’s back, or even breaking straight through someone’s arm or leg.

But as well as the single player mode, as you play through the storyline, you have to overcome a very annoying obstacle. the 2 on 1 battles. Where they even get to tag in and out of a situation. This part pissed me off cause when I try to beat one of them out, the other one pops right in and kills me, which was ALWAYS a huge piss off point for me. And then (of course) the fatalities. not bad guys, not bad at all. The fatalities (if you can manage them) are as gory God of War, and just as funny as Prototype’s Consuming features. I gotta hand it to this game, when they finish somebody, they really know how to do it in an extreme fashion.

I remember this game well back when I was a kid, and the company did it a little justice, but seriously guys, try to change it up a little bit would you? Not just the tits (not that it was a bad addition) or the bloody fatalities (granted, funny as shit to watch) or even the special bar (which helped and fucked me over a lot) but try to just add something else, something we’ve never seen before, like a new god taking place to turn the tide, or even (and I wouldn’t doubt a lot of people would disagree with this) try making Baraka suck a LITTLE less?
