The final one??
Well, if that's the case, I'm glad they chose the main characters so well to promote the game.
EDIT: Fatalities!
Liu Kang: 7.5/10 Oh my God.....I can't believe I am going to say this........but
I LOVED IT!!!!!! And that is coming from someone who loathed the Arcade Drop machine in MK3.
Seriously, there is something AWESOME about this fatality, and I'm thinking that has to do more with nostalgia then anything else. I do wish Liu Kang would had done something cooler then just stand there with fiery fists. Wasn't it in MK3 that he sort of vanished in a weird effect or flames?
Its kind of dull to see him standing there doing nothing, but there is something
SO COOL about the MK1 Arcade Machine that I can't help to love it.
It feels like some sort of easter egg, some form of nostalgia. And the MK1 machine looks so real and I think that the
electricity or coins effect that come out of it looks awesome!
It would had gotten a higher score from me:
1.- IF Liu Kang had done something more
2.- IF they would had shown more angles of the Arcade Machine.
3.- IF there would had been A BIT MORE blood!
4.- And most importantly,
IF JOHNNY CAGE WOULDNT HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE ART!!!!!!! Sure, I guess I get *why* he isn't there (they fired the actor who played Cage for doing stupid stuff blablabla), but then, it would had probably been cooler to make the MK3 or Mk4 machine drop. Or make up a new one that has to do with MKvsDC that shows the MK characters that were chosen for the Kollectors Edition cover.
And even so, I'm happy they went with the MK1 machine. I just love the nostalgia this gives me.
Batman: 7/10 When I heard about this Brutality, I thought it sounded cool. Now that I've seen it, I still like it. Sure it could had been so much better (like all the ones we have seen so far), but that doesn't mean it's bad.
The sound effects are very cool, and I love seeing all those bats coming after the batarang that makes those wave sounds. Awesome! I like the screams and the way Kano moves (though it did take him a while to react imo).
I just wish there was A BIT MORE BLOOD to make all of this MUCH BETTER. Seriously, he doesn't have to die, but the floor should be covered in blood. SAME THING with
Liu Kang's fatality. There should be a BIT more blood. I mean, we are not seeing any organs and body parts being torn, so, give us AT LEAST that (yeah, I just have to use CAPITAL letters to emphasize my points).
Overall, it could had been better. Kano should had been more dramatic, more pain sounds, and more blood.
Baraka: 3/10 .........................seriously. This is when
LESS means MORE IMO!!!! This is the same sad and lame thing that happened to
Shang Tsung's fatality. This Fatality is just NOT a Fatality. Doesn't Baraka slice you with his blades in an equal way during gameplay? This one was just as disappointing as Shang Tsung's.
WHERE in the world is the blood???? I mean, they show SOME of it during gameplay, so why is it so difficult or risky to show more in Fatalities??? What?! Fatalities SHOULD have blood, and while I am willing to can accept little of it in Fatalaties that in the past would had had a lot of it, I can't accept nothing at all, because the Fatality looks lame and stupid.
Sonya's and Catwoman's are two excellent fatalities that don't require the use of blood, but Fatalities like this one, DO need it! The death sounds from Rayden were boring and simple. I DO hope it's just him (even though that sucks as well for his character) and that the other fighters have more dramatic believable screams or death gasps such as the ones we have seen in Tsung's, Rayden's, and Sonya's Fatalities.
Superman's
heroic Brutality SHOWS blood??? SO WHY can't Baraka show any??? There are just soooooooooooo many things that are messed up with this fatality. Fine, there won't be any decapitations or body dismemberment, fine....but at least make the impales that we see and the deaths more painful in sound and effect.
For example: If we would had seen blood in Baraka's slices that would had made it better, but, just an MK2 impale would had made this fatality rock. They could had shown the blade's piercing the victim with a cool camera angle, but if that's not possible, just a cool view similar to the one of MK2. Sure it would had been plain simple...but much better then this one that is elaborated and has no blood.
OR!!!!!!! Just imagine how AWESOME it would had been if Baraka would had just stayed with his blade's inside the victim's body AFTER he bends his back! It would had rocked if, while bending to throw him, he wouldn't had actually thrown Rayden and just made an arch with his back and stayed there, in a bended/arc position, impaling a helpless Rayden. That would had looked elegant and awesome!!!.......sigh.
Overall?:
1.- Catwoman: 9.8/10
2.- Sonya: 9.3/10
3.- Rayden: 9/10
4.- Green Lantern: 8.3/10
5.- Liu Kang: 7.6/10
6.- Batman: 7.4/10
7.- Wonderwoman: 7.2/10
8.- Sub-Zero: 7/10
9.- Superman: 6.5/10
10.- Shang Tsung: 4/10
11.- Baraka: 3.1/10
12.- Flash: 3/10
