In the field of brutal fighting games, none have been so successful, or worn as thin, as the Mortal Kombat franchise. With the first three iterations placing the 2D fighter firmly in gaming history, one might argue that the constant remaking of the games core systems, weak new characters and the rather poor transition into 3d lowered the public perception of MK to nothing more than an annualised blood and gore fest. However, they have really found their way back to their roots in this game. With a complete retelling of the story, Nether Realms has created a new Mortal Kombat Universe that introduces new players to the fiction while still catering to old fans with a full roster of classic characters from the series. The combat has been finely tuned and well balanced between the fighters to such a degree that skill will always be the final decider in any match. Each hit is delivered with conviction, and you can see impact with gushes of blood as you bludgeon or carve up your opponent. The game is still as gruesome as ever, which is considered a return to form from the disappointing T-rated MK vs DCU. The four new characters included in this edition are great additions to the rosters, and gives room for an even grater variety of play styles. If you want some gory fighting action, you can't go wrong with Mortal Kombat. Highly recommended.

Mortal Kombat is back, the most amazing and bloody game ever. In this "Komplete Edition", you get extra characters like Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain and Freddy Krueger; 15 Klassic skins, and 3 Klassic fatalities. You have to buy it, especially if you love the saga.
