Mortal Kombat isn't bad. Anyone who considers themselves a fighting game fanatic would simply fall in love with the huge amounts of blood. Someone said that MK had a cliched storyline...What fighting game doesn't? It's always a tournament, a bid to save the world or something like that.

The gameplay reminds me of Super Smash Bros though, in that everyone has the same basic moves + a couple of unique ones. It's simplistic in the way it's presented and the way it plays but that's not necessarily a bad thing, after all, the same thing can be said about Little Fighter 2. I will personally deposit some sort of ticking device in the mailbox of anyone who dares to say LF2 is a bad game...

Bottom line, Mortal Kombat
