   Mortal kombat can finally stand proud beside Street fighter, while its not as technically sound as that game, it's just as compulsive and fun to play.

   Sablcious 6 MK2011 is a good game... but not a good FIGHTING GAME. The game promised to cater for hardcore fans but instead introduced a slew of causal orientated features that in fact dumbed the game down even further than its casual roots would have led you to believe would be warranted. Easy, timing devoid dial-a-combos, 'simple mode' super (X-ray) attacks at the mash of a couple of shoulder buttons (super moves you only gain access to after being pummelled!), 'secret' finishing moves listed in the game's menu... all make for one of the more casual friendly MKs ever. But the game's less than hardcore game mechanic isn't it's only or even biggest downfall; it's LIES are. Promised were robust offline content but only filler (Krypt) and blatant lies (Tower Challenge reward) were proffered; the AI being some of the worst (spammy / cheap / cheaty) in fight gaming. Intimated was a far more diverse roster; delivered, only cookie cutter teleport and dash attack spammers that even share certain normal attacks and have same-same-y X-rays, and the game's only unique characters, the bosses, inexplicably locked out from player use. Bragged about was the game's new fangled net-code that would make online play a sheer joy; instead you get arguably the worst online lag for a fighting game this console generation! What makes this latter aspect of the game even more of a fail, is the fact that there is an 'online pass' attached to the game's online functionailty. Meaning that if you do not have a valid code, you cannot play online unless you pay and extra $10 for, what in this game's case, is a very dusbious privilege. Thus, if you buy the game pre-ownded, you'll almost certainly be getting an incomplete product... and that's not even touching on the DLC ransoming to come. But that's not to say the game is all bad, as was suggested in this review's preface. The game's story mode is as fleshed out as you will see in a non SNK fighting game, taking around 6 hours to play through. The visuals of the game are quite nice. The backgrounds in particular are very detailed. however, the character animations are still somewhat stiff for a 2011 game. The audio is also top notch also, with every blow resonating powerfully and voice acting that, although corny, is on the mark for game set in MK universe. The 3D (Ps3 only) is a nice 'thought', but due to only the backgrounds being render thusly, and given in a fighting game your attention is solely on the the combat, the 3D effect is virtually completely lost while playing and only serves to strain your eyes. Overall, when you take into account MK2011 is a FIGHTING GAME whose play mechanic, online componentry, character diversity are paramount to its respectability in this genre, MK2011 sadly fails. They should have stuck with the MKvDCU model and refined it (removed the 3D movement) not tried to reinvent the MK wheel. Summation: For causals and completionists, a good buy. For hardcore fight gamers. especially those reared on 90s fighters, I'd steer clear at least until it's half price, if not until the inevitable MK2012 hits… Expand

   Terrible and lowbrow garbage. Once I heard the line, "If you land a punch, than you owe me lunch", I sighed and repeatedly slammed a frying pan against my head in order to block the memories of the worst, and most hillbilly game ever made.… Expand
