I have to unlock Reptile in ko-op. Good thing my cousins live next door.

Wait. Wait. Wait. In the versus mode at least you have to have the female ninjas. Seriously. I really base MK games on the presence of all of the MK ninjas. (But in this case I know that Noob wouldn't work.) Just please at least have Kitana and Mileena. Those are the important ones. It's all right if Jade's out. I never really thought that she was that great of a character. I like the direction this game is going though. I'm assuming that Scopion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Johnny Cage are unlockable. That's good. But, like I said above, PLEASE include Kitana and Mileena. I had always assumes that this would be the case before, but with the mention of only eight versus characters, I'm getting less hope. I understand that if, by adding these characters, you don't get enough memory to add really cool special moves, and in that case I would reluctantly accept, but please, this is important. they are almost imortant as Scorpion and Sub.
BTW, I think I saw Ermac in a video and he looks really cool. I hope you could be him as well.

Also, BTW, I love playing co-op. And I love that Idea for MK. That is the entire reason I got excited about the game in the first place. I like the fact that you are trying to encourage people to play together, but unfortunately, it comes off as you guys forcing us to play with someone, anyone, just to unlock something. But, it doesn't bother me. My cousin, who lives in Santa Monica, (300 miles away) comes up here during winter (just in time) and spring breaks and we play co-op video games. This has became thebasis for my game purchases. So far, the only game that has really lived up to our standards was LOTR:RoTK for PS2. But this looks 10X better!!!!!

Here's a hint, people:

You want an AI versus mode? GO PLAY ANY OTHER MK!!!

And for people who HATE the idea of being social and playing with someone else, or who can't possibly find a friend to help them.... what can I say? Sucks to be you. It's not Midway/Paradox's fault.

I for one, cannot wait. All my game playing friends are fearsome of facing me in MK, but really want to get the chance to team up with me.

I really think it's disrespectfull of their part toward the clients (us).
As a buisness man it's important to please everyone or at leasyt le larger side.

Ok many people do play in team, or as social reason. But a one player game should always be available by default.

Just my two cents.
And more and more, I found Boon and his team Cocky... not to mention, is there any MK that are flawless...???

I rest my case.

My friends and I love co-op games. Unfortunately, they hate Mortal Kombat. That's why I think it's stupid for some secrets to be unlocked only through playing co-op. How am I going to get things unlocked if I can't get anyone to play? I seriously doubt anybody I know would play this game even if it turns out to be good because I'm the only one that likes MK. If it turns out to be another travesty like Deception then forget it. It won't happen. So what do I do? Just play half of a game?

The more I hear the less enthusiastic I become which is a shame.

OK. Calm down everyone. Ko-op specific areas do have many unlockables like Reptile for versus mode. If you do not have a friend to play ko-op with then why do you care? You need a friend to play versus with. There is no AI in ko-op or Versus. You need a friend to play both. So do you really care to unlock things that are useless to you anyway?

Versus characters or versus maps are the main things unlocked in ko-op secret rooms. You need a friend for both.

The single player experience was built without hindering it for ko-op. The single player gets all the story elements, The single player can finish the game. Ko-op gets extra stuff to do that are like ko-op puzzles that wouldn’t work for a single player. SO again, why do you care? You unlock things that you NEED a friend to enjoy (versus), so why do you care?

I would also like to again re-iterate, we are DONE adding things to the game. I cannot change things anymore if I wanted to.

Oh, and the person who suggested we add ko-op AI and ship a month or 2 later, yeah, you have no idea what goes into something like that and how much work that is. There isn'’t time. Alright enjoy the board, enjoy the game, I probably won'’t come up for air again until we are gold in a few weeks.

Alright, fair enough. I was under the assumption that there was unlockable content relevant to the single player portion of the game that was unlocked via co-op mode. My mistake.

Well, at least it's cleared up what main secrets are "Ko-Op" based... ironically, the secrets you need a friend for help, you also would need a friend to really enjoy! Thankfully one of my friends who was never big into fighting games has suddenly taken an interest, and I can probably lure him into helping me out and then we'll end up playing versus mode... see, it's a strategic patern And to SH, good luck over the next month getting the game "gold"! Loved the Playstation Magazine demo (despite Sony's forced censorship), and can't wait for the full game!

I would just like to say a big THANKS to you Shaun Himmerick and the rest of the MK team for all the hard work you have put in this game. Don't listen to any of these whiners'.

I too work in the computer design field and trust me, I know how frustrating it is.

I got the demo and can't stop playing it. The single player experience is good enough for me. The game engine is fantastic, the way the fatalities are implemented are so awesome, my only wish is that you guys have already included my all time favorite fatality of Liu Kang's, the dragon bite.

I'm truly amazed, this title will be my all time favorites for years to come, and I hope it will bring you lots of success. Even with Shaolin Monks not released yet, I can not wait to see what we have in store for the next MK adventure game.

Thank you and Good Luck MK team!

A though occurs:

Do the people that want AI for Versus mode here hate Halo multi? There's no bots there. The difference is that there is no "other Halo" to get that vs AI in Deathmatch, whereas every other MK game offers versus mode against AI. Really we're lucky Shaun, Ed and the rest of the team even bothered to put a vs mode in - they could have focused on an extremely kickass solo/ko-op game with no alternate modes. As it stands we get both.

My hat goes off to Midway/Paradox for their grand efforts.

Shaun, you are gunna play my MK RPG when its finished right. Maybe I will send midway a demo of it... maybe you will hire me to produce a sweet MK RPG... Maaaaybe not. but oh well I wanna be a producer so I am trying. Dude, this Shaolin Monks is going to be sweet, I admit when i first saw the news of its development I thought oh no... here we go again. But in reality, its shaping up to be a ten star outta ten.

I had to list the order quanity of this game for my video store I work at, and dude I maxed it out. Hopefully there are more fan boys out there then just me who will play this game with extreme force.

Oh I have one more request, Shaunny... could you tell Eddy or whoever I need some MK Sound Effects for my game... oh and maybe some RPG Sprites....infact send me everything you want...

LITTLEOPPELT@HOTMAIL.Com is my email address...

just dont send me a lawsuit

Thanks,
EKULE/Luke
