Okay...... so I wanted to put in my opinion on it. I liked DC Universe crossover enough... it had a good story and the game was very pick up and play, at least for me. When I heard the next game wouldn't have superheroes in it and would be in a 2-D format, I was excited. I wanted Sinestro in DC Universe, but I wanted Fatalities and 2-D fighting even more. Seeing gameplay footage was awe inspiring to say the least. What really stood out to me was the new X-Ray feature: a new type of attack that allows you to brutally pummel your opponent and shows you the bone crushing devastation complete with skeletal views in intimate detail. The demo they later released was epic, even though it only had 4 characters. But I mastered them all. It sold me on the game and I eagerly awaited the release. I've had the game for about a week or so and I have mixed things to say. First of all, the MK series has been giving us great additional content on their game disc. Armageddon even had a racing mini game, appropriately titled MOTOR KOMBAT. This time they give us a Story mode, online play, tag-team battles, a challenge tower, as well as the return of the krypt. The Story retells the events of the original trilogy but throws in some new twists. I'll just say the game picks up where Armageddon left off. The mode allows you to play most of the characters, and is a good way to get accustomed to the roster and find your favorites. The challenge tower is kind of a placeholder if you don't want to have your ass whipped online, but there's 300 challenges, so there's plenty of time to want to kill yourself. You'll get a reward when you finish, but I won't spoil it. The tag team feature is a welcome addition but it takes some time to get good at it. Test your might, strike, sight, and luck is here as well. They're fun minigames that are more leaning toward luck and hand eye coordination. Ladder is here as the arcade experience that I actually play the most. I can't tell you much of the online experience because the Playstation network has been down for several days. But beware, Shao Kahn is the cheapest boss I have played against Tekken 6's Azazel. There's no fair and enjoyable way of fighting him. Overall, you will enjoy this game if you loved the original Trilogy. The Fatalities and Babalities are back with a bang. A must buy from me...:)
