I am sure they needed a break from all the fatalities and their storylines for all characters. I know MK is known for this but one game is not going to kill it for me because it already did in MK armageddon for me. I know from just looking at the trailer it is interesting already even though i don't like the idea but i am curious how the gameplay mechanic works. If it works fine then i'll have fun playing it with my kombat friends. I just hope the stages look dark and not cheerful and the stage in trailer fighting in a cemetary with the moon shining bright in the back reminds me of mk 2 and lets hope there are way more stages that look like that. If it does not work out this game well you can bet MK will be back with all its glory with an even more improved unreal engine in 2010. yeah its 2-3 years from now but you take what is given to you or just wait another two years plain and simple......... fuk it
