alot of people will probably disagree with this but...
i liked the 2-d mortal kombat style alot more than i like this three-d style. i think that they should just go back to that style and supre refine it up the graphics to a more 3-d style character, kind of more like back with MK4. with those games the fighting seemed a lot more quick and more responsive.
--maybe this could be remidied with adding the RUN button back in. i just think that i like the old 2-d side scroller a bit better. also honestly, everyone would still play it just the same cause it's mortal kombat.
