Mortal Kombat

[SuperBeatBoy]

Netherrealm Studios are really showing Capcom just how bad they are when it comes to content for their fighting games. They should take a hard long look! Obviously they won't because its a western title.

[Shozuki]

yeah really impressed with the game, I must say (from playing the demo and listening to the reviewers). Shame about some dodgy scores out there...

[SuperBeatBoy]

Which version you playing Shozuki? I'll be picking up the ps3 version, makes a change anyway.

[Skull Commander]

Man, I totally want this game but I'm the most skint ever. Knowing modern releases it won't hold it's value and will most likely be 20 squids by the time I get some dosh.

[JU!]

Looking good. Demo was great, scores seem good. It also has a good list of new and old characters which is good for nostalgia reasons. Lookin forward to all the modes and content, hope they are all unlocked from the start?

Same mate, PS3 - Kratos is too big an addition to miss, on top of that I dont use my 360 much anyway!

Yeah, its all available from the get go.

I've never played GoW and I can take or leave Kratos, so I just ordered it on 360 from Shopto, but they've scrapped their 1st class recorded option

Hope it arrives tomorrow for the long weekend!

Got a bit worried reading a review that mentioned you can't skip the cutscenes. Not looking forward to that but hopefully it won't be too big a deal. I remember seeing the SF4 ultras for the first time and imagining the anguish at being forced to sit through what is essentially a cutscene mid-match but when I actually played it I fell in love with them.

Besides, I could always just play as Johnny Cage in single player as the cutscenes I've seen so far for him are hilarious

[Shozuki]

Shame you didnt go PS3 Bil, would have been fun to play you man. My Tournament Edition and Kollector's Edition arrived from GameStop (which you can see in post your import gaming purchases ) really looking forward to getting some in tonight.

I got mine from shopto this morning. It seems like fun, but I am really dissapointed by the graphics so far. The cut-scene graphics are laughable with textures from a last gen title.
Off to play some more!

Recorded delivery is still available, there is a drop down box for delivery options and recorded is there and its still free. I think some people prefer not having to sign for it so shopto added the choice.

I thought a lot of the standard animation was awful from the videos. Looks damn fun to play though.

Yep, it's been like that since I first used Shopto and it's the option I've always chosen(I think it was the default), but when I ordered today the only options from the drop-down were 1st class regular and then two courier options at around ?6(TNT I think). Last thing I bought from them was GT5 last year and that was recorded.

I've been playing MK non-stop since tuesday, finished the Story, played 25 stages of the Tower and finished Ladder about 2 times. What I can say is that the Story mode does take as long as a Call of Duty game would. Its really great, but sadly there is some lameness involved, namely 2 on 1 fights. But there is some real fan service involved. What we've previously read in the MK1-3 manuals is now actually being showed in the cut scenes.

Graphics are great, some backgrounds look like paintings. The animations do look kind of wooden when compared to SF and the inputs are kind of slower too but this all is typical MK.

Fatalities are quite sick, but thing is that the overall look is a bit on the cartoony side so its really not as gruesome as some might expect.

I just got mine and opened the box to find...

a Kombat Pass card!

Even better, the 'instruction manual', which is basically a leaflet, says the following:

"If the Kombat Pass code has already been redeemed by a previous owner, you can purchase a Kombat Pass code or try a 48 hour free trial from the in-game menu"

The end is nigh!
