Mortal Kombat

Anybody play it yet?

Yeah, I've had it for awhile. The game is decent. I played through the story mode and it was a fun experience. Nothing artistic but not as mind numbing as most other game story modes these days. You get to enjoy the characters as you remembered them with a few new twists thrown in.

There's also Challenge Tower mode where you do various tasks. A few examples are complete a fatality, complete a brutality move, avoid being hit for 30 seconds, complete all special moves in 30 seconds, etc. This mode is fun and adds replay value while teaching you basic aspects of the game. Wish more fighting games had modes like this. There is also a fatality mode where you get to practice and learn the fatalities in the game. Really fun for when your with friends who only wanna see fatalities.

Solid presentation all around. They also have a mode where you can read character bios so there's plenty to do.

The actual gameplay is fun to me, but I don't consider my self a professional gamer. I haven't played online any and mainly like learning various moves and performing fatalities.

This game is sick nasty.

I play competitively in most fighting games, but never a Mortal Kombat before. It's pretty balanced so far, but as people start breaking the game I wouldn't be surprised if some characters end up being hot garbage.

Kung Lao has been good in all the MKs, so yaye. I've got a 71% corner combo (w/ X-Ray), which is hilarious. I saw 81% against Sheeva O_O

Graphics are great, the fatalities are bruuuutal. Some are bad, but man... some are pretty awesome :D

Still haven't picked it up yet. I'll eventually pick it up, but I've got so many other games I'm playing right now that I can wait.

Just picked it up. Game is pretty awesome. I'm awful at fighting games, but this is really fun.

Also turn your volume up, the sounds in this game are unbelievably epic.

Challenge Tower seems endless. I'm at 52 and it's still fun.

On this section the entire s is upside down so you have to figure out how to control your character with all the controls messed up and a really weird display.

On Chapter 4 of the Story mode. Getting pretty annoyed with it. It's awesome don't get me wrong, but there are WAAAAY too many 2-1 fights where you are the 1.

On the main menu go to options and set it to Beginner mode.

Then spam grab (R1 on PS3, probably the right trigger on 360) repeatedly. That worked for me. I died on a few matches though.

And whenever you fight Shao Kahn, run away from him until he taunts and then attack. Rinse and repeat.

I've played through the tutorial, the first 70 on the challenge tower, and beat the fight tower once with Sub Zero. I haven't played the story mode or online yet, though. It's a fun game.

So basically it is impossible to beat Goro in this game. All he does are ground pounds, so there is no way to even get the fug up.

And yes I lowered the difficulty for this fight and I'm still getting pummeled, the fact that I have to fight with Liu Kang doesn't help either.

Plus his fugin X-Ray does 50% damage, awesome just fugin awesome.

EDIT: Just beat him.......lol

lol babality is awesome

I just did 101 on Challenge tower and it took about 20 tries. Then I finally realized the guys dressed in black jumped and the others didn't.

I hate how grabs don't work against some characters.

I just spammed fireball with liu kang in the fight iirc.
