I haven't been on in some time. I thought it was finally time to put my review of the game on here.
First off, the characters:
Interesting stories, interesting special moves. There are some that I won't use:
Noob-Smoke, they would have been better off as 2 characters instead of 1. Their special moves are good, but beyond that, there is no real reason to play as him. Low on the combos and no weapon. An unbalanced character in my eyes.
Ashrah, besides her weapon, she is not that great. Her fighting styles are too slow and she doesn't have many good combos.
Havik has not too bad fighting styles, but his special moves are blah.
Ermac has great special moves, but his fighting styles bring him right down. His axe is cool, but his regular fighting styles suck. Too bad.
Fatalites:
Here are my favorite ones:
Ashrah's voodoo death.
Baraka's slice and dice.
Dairou's back bender.
Darrius's arms smack around.
Mileena's fatalites are both worth it.
Both of Scorpion's.
Both of Sub-Zero's.
Havik's arm eating.
Hotrau's toss and smash.
Jade's head poke and rip.
Kenshi's neck and slice in half.
Kira's pin and tear off.
Noob's star throw.
Sindel's toss and spin.
Tanya's stabs.
Both of Shujinko's.
Kobra's heart tear.
The rest of the fatalites are sub-par. The Hari-Kari's are all ok. The only one that I like to see alot of is Ermac's. It's funny.
Gameplay:
The computer is a total rip-off. I can't see playing single player except to get the endings. The Dragon King is the same as every MK boss, annoying. I am iching to get online with this game. I am one of those without Xbox Online. It sucks.
The control of the characters is the same as MK:DA. I love the fact that this isn't a button mashing game.
Chess Kombat is more fun then I thought. I don't play Puzzle Kombat much because I suck. Konquest mode I beat in 2 days and unlocked everything. The control in that was ok. Some of the battles were crap to do, especially ones that the enemy healed while the battle went on.
Final Thoughts:
With everything unlocked and most likely nothing else to be discovered, I am happy with the game. Sure there are some spots that could have been done better, but it still lived up to the hype. I wish some of the arenas had death traps that don't.
I will say that I hope Kung Lao, Shang Tsung, Kano, and Soyna return for MK 7. I miss those characters.
