    Best game design and aesthetics out of 9, 10, and 11 mortal kombats. Story was also amazing, however the 2vs1 in story mode will irritate you. Also, I think other 2d fighters have better control schemes.

    One of the finest fighting game ever made for PC, this one had all the DLC and full roster of the console versions. The only thing you won't get is Kratos and the God of War stage which doesn't belong in an MK game anyways. My only disappointment with this game is that online could be laggy sometimes.

    This was peak of modern mortal kombat. I really wish they would go back to this, so i could forget that mk 11 even exists. mk x was fine game, but mk 9 was another level. Sadly i have no hope, that they would ever go back to this.

    Gameplay logic is out of window when you fight game bosses. Suddenly your kombatant reach is halved and you try to uppercut or jump attack superhuge bosses 3 times and you miss.

    - Strange concept of Raiden vs. 3 fighters fight. The characters do not fight normally, but have stupid flaws in their mechanics. So, you either figure it out and easily kick their asses or struggle.

    In my opinion, this is the best Mortal Kombat game ever made. As an old school fan of the original trilogy, I hold them in high regard, especially Mortal Kombat II.

As an old school fan of the original trilogy, I hold them in high regard, especially Mortal Kombat II. For all these years and up until recently, I have long considered MK2 to be the best, but after playing MK11 recently and spiraling into depression due to the online requirements and demotivational grinding, I had to come back and re-evaluate my love for the franchise. And I have come to the conclusion that this game is indeed the best Mortal Kombat ever made. As MK is my favorite franchise of all time, this is, for me, the greatest game ever made and my all-time favorite. If I had to choose one game to play forever, this would be my immediate answer. I own the Komplete Edition on every possible platform: Steam, PS3, Xbox 360, and PS Vita, and I love them all. I will leave a review for each version, because they are basically the same game, but will add a distinct paragraph at the end for each.

    Where to start? I'll divide my praises into sub-sections:

    Graphics: Gorgeous, mind-blowing. This was my first high definition experience, the first time I bought a modern console and hooked it up to a flat-panel via HDMI. I was blown away. And the visuals still hold up, because 720p cannot be retroactively demoted from being high def, because it is and it shows. The stages are so detailed, the character models are so cool, the damage is so deliciously bloody, the fatalities look so awesome, it's just top-notch stuff all-around.

    Story: Excellent. I mean, it goes from the whole Shang Tsung Island original tournament to the golden-age of MK2, then all the way to MK3's invasion of Earthrealm... it's just so darn good. The atmosphere is there to match as the story goes along. And nearly everyone is here and part of it too. I cannot fault it and I think they rebooted it very nicely. The only thing I don't like and continue not to like is the whole "revenant" schtick. I'm sick of hearing, I'm sick of seeing it, it's dumb and it must stop. Unfortunately, it started here - but because it was new, it was okay. Should have stopped with MKX though, but nope, all the way to MK11's main storyline to the point of being the default of many characters. Kill it, please. But back to MK9, this is the most enjoyable story mode ever of them all, bar none.

    Roster: Man, isn't this the best part. Unlike every other post-MK2 entry without exception, this is the ONLY Mortal Kombat that I can move the cursor through the whole roster and not find a character I hate. No Jacqui. No Bo Rai Cho. No Hsu Hao. No Kung Jin. Kombat kids are nowhere to be found. The game is so awesome that they even managed to do the impossible, and make Stryker a cool, relatable, and likable character. And the classic outfits, wow! The ninjas look fantastic, it's amazing. Everything is just done right here. God, I really love this game, so much!

    Gameplay: This is gold. Fast-paced. Combo opportunities everywhere. There's depth, you can actually get a character, study its moves and combos and just get very good at it. Watching the pros playing this game is like watching an artist painting a masterpiece, it's beautiful and exciting.

    Sound: I prefer the older Asian atmosphere that Dan Forden so beautifully crafted, it just built this awesomely dark atmosphere that reminds you of older kung-fu movies that were lacking past the two first entries. But even MK3 had memorable tunes. While it's not bad, it's somewhat forgettable and just overall meh. But then recently I was choosing stages and pressed start on one of them. Then I heard Shao Kahn laughing. I was like, huh, something is going on here. Turns out to be a little hidden feature: if the stage is a classic MK stage, it will then play the original retro music in battle. I was so excited, this game delivers!!!

    Single-player: No grinding here and no stupid online requirements! The tower challenges are so awesome! How about test your luck, huh? I can play that for hours, so much fun! Not to mention test your sight, test your might, I mean, it's just Mortal Kombat Perfection here. Arcade ladder is a classic, just great. My only minor gripe here is with the bosses having the invincibility shield sometimes, it felt like an artificial difficulty increase to me, an afterthought. Challenge 300, Endgame, is legendary.

    In conclusion, if there is a game that would get a 10 out of 10 from me, this is it. This game single-handedly brought me back into gaming altogether.

    PC specific: Although it is missing PS3's exclusive 3D mode and Kratos, the PC version looks and plays great, and is naturally the easiest one to implement mods, which can be fun. The value was great and it is DRM-free. You can actually launch and play the game outside Steam by just using the .exe file. Oh, and unlike ALL other versions, I was able to play it online in 2020, I kid you not! Had to jump through a few hoops, but wow, what a surprise that was!

    Reboot done right! This game mixes everything we love about the previous entries and makes it a perfect fighting game. Story is good for a fighting game. Gameplay of every character feels fair and there is nothing you can abuse in fighting mechanics (Unlike some fighting games...). This is Mortal Kombat at its finest.

    What a great revitalization of the series. Expected it to be much more prominent and long-lived than it was, as it was much better than the more mediocre sequels.
    Alone the fact that Mortal Kombat managed to make the story engaging warrants its inclusion in the history books.

    Mortal Kombat 9 o Komplete Edition en PC, es el MK que revivió a la franquicia que estaba herida de ausencia. Un juego de peleas en 2.5 dimensiones, para volver a los orígenes de los MK antiguos y dejar atrás lo amargo que le dieron los MK en 3D.
    Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition es así como se llama, completo: Trae un modo historia bastante atractivo (aunque modificado del original), la torre de los retos (de lo mejor en modo solitario), entrenamiento propio de dedicado con varias opciones, multijugador en línea, modo 2 contra 2 y una cantidad enorme de personajes.
    Su jugabilidad es EXCELENTE donde podemos combinar varios combos y ataques con varios personajes, incluyendo varios atuendos que podemos elegir.
    En mi opinión, es un MK, que en cuanto a contenido, es muy superior a MKX, y mucho más duradero si lo jugamos a un jugador, debido a que su historia es mejor y sus modos solitario son mucho más divertidos que los monótonos del MKX.
    En cuanto a jugabilidad eso ya depende, pero a mi criterio me gustó más la de MKKE, además incluye personajes mucho más interesantes que los que trae MKKE (algunos son de chiste).
    Como contras le pondré: Multijugador en línea deficiente y muy mal trabajado, ya que se suele desconectar fácilmente y aunque estés cerca del rival puede haber mucho lag (en PC además sacaron el chat de voz y también está muerto), cinemáticas pixeladas y clavadas a 30fps, para algunos puede resultar un juego exageradamente sexista y con mucho servicio al fan.
    MK9 / MKKE es la reivindicación de Mortal Kombat en el mundo de juegos de pelea, y el mejor MK actual (hasta ahora, 2018).

But SHlTTY as it may be it got realist game of the year... Moving on.. So, I give this game a terrible rating because Kintaro seems to have attack after attack go right through him or be completely ineffective. Same as Goro and it happens pretty much whenever the game decides it must win. You jump kicks will go right through there face and then you'll get an uppercut or something stupid. You'll be sitting there scratching your head when you realize everything you knew about physics goes out the windows with this piece of garbage in Story Mode. Regular mode it doesnt pull any cheap BS till up in the eschelon... I gotta give a crap review because I am so tired of buying games that cheat and if you think games dont cheat then you probably have a stupid understanding of physics too.. Like the creators. Expand

    1 v 2 fights that is the way it sounds:You fight against 2 characters at time and are like 4 rounds instead of 2 but restores your health after 2 rounds
    Story mode is a bit of a kolected films and putted together
    No voice acting in challenge mode(ok i understand no voice acting on kustom script but challenge mode fills like and 1970 game)
    I'm a bit(just a little but like 1/1000) confused why females are so sexy.I mean i wanna fight no to strafe at the character's breasts.(and WTF was wrong with ed boon when he was making mileena's fatality:its focused at her not at the crying enemy[btw i like it]

    Años después tuve la oportunidad de jugar este MK 9 y debo decir que quedé impresionado, La historia está muy bien hecha, tiene una gran cantidad de personajes y la jugabilidad más accesible a todos.

    Un juego que no aburre sobre todo cuando juegas contra otras personas, diversión asegurada.

    Además tienes muchos retos para cumplir, mucho material desbloqueable por lo que la adicción será prolongada.

    Recomendado para viejos jugadores de MK y los que se inician en este mundo.

    An amazing retelling of the original Mortal Kombat, excellent graphics and most importantly Freddy Krueger, Noob Saibot and Kenshi. This time Mortal Kombat did live up to the hype.

    I'm a realy big Mortal Kombat fan, so I also love this game. Bug it isnt perfekt: The grafics are good but not realy good, I want a single player versus mode and more characters (but about 32 with dlc's are okay). But the kripta and the rest are perfect for fans!

    The best fighting game of its time. Excellent and flawless story mode (as it should be in every other fighting game), online PvP, Challenge towers with bonuses, and the best part of the game that it allows 4 players to fight simultaneously in pairs in local-play. I just wish they had added counterparts of Kratos (PS3) for other consoles and PC.

As well as this, it includes most characters from the three installments, all updated to HD with grizzly graphics to make the fatalities shine. And as if the main characters aren't enough - there's more!

    Along with this dandy package are four DLC Characters - the blind Kenshi, the blood-filled Skarlet, the murderous Freddy Krueger and the prince Rain. As well as this, there are Klassic Kostumes of some of the characters; these costumes allows you to relive the times back in the arcade, though this time it is far more pretty.

    Overall, this game is a must have for all Mortal Kombat fans, both newcomer and veteran alike.

    I'm a huge fan of fighting games street fighter style: technical and unforgiving, focused on balance and mind play. This game have none of the above.

    That said it is true that from the very first title, Mortal Kombat has been a fighting game series focused on dismembering, copious blood spills rather than technical gameplay or heavy mind games and this new visually stunning Mortal Kombat follows step by step its predecessors. Fans ofc will be extremely happy about this (and I too think it was not a bad idea) but sadly I can't say I like it.

    I'm not a huge fan of extreme violence in games but usually if I like the gameplay I'm still able to enjoy games. In this case the violence (often even physically impossible) is almost the game main goal since I found the gameplay quite not-rewarding.

    That said the game has stunning graphic, from characters to backgrounds and effects, the accuracy of the various disjoints, dismembers and such is almost maniacal and music is totally fine.

    So, to recap, if you're a fan of extreme splatter violence or you ever liked a Mortal Kombat, get this game and you won't regret a single penny.

    Horrible online, lame gameplay, uninspired characters and a retarded block system. Mortal Kombat 9 is the perfect example of a "meh" fighting game. Is it competetively viable? Well it was at EVO, like once, and everyone played Kabal. Poorly designed and unbalanced.

    Im pretty sure that MK:KE is one of the best fighting games on PC. For sure- its not perfect. Im talking about quite high hardware requirements now. But, oh well, game looks beautiful. Soundtrack is very good too. Game-play is fantastic (new fatalities are amazing). I recommend MK to every PC owner.

    I can easily say this is the best Mortal Kombat game ever made and one of the best fighters of all time. Mortal Kombat Trilogy comes close but this is better. Mortal Kombat 9 has an amazing combat engine, everything feels very fluid, it has all the fan favourite characters and even new ones with the great DLC, the addition of online is great but it doesn't work very well.

Mortal Kombat 9 has an amazing combat engine, everything feels very fluid, it has all the fan favourite characters and even new ones with the great DLC, the addition of online is great but it doesn't work very well. Mortal Kombat 9 takes everything that was great in the older games, puts them into this and removes everything that was bad in the older games.

    Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition follows the events of Mortal Kombat 1 - 3. Raiden, a thunder god, is having visions of the future and he is trying to make sure that Earthrealm is safe from Outworld. If the future is safe, his broken amulet will recover and be fully repaired. You get to play as all the characters (Excluding some villians such as Quan-Chi, Ermac, Sheeva) and it is fun to play as all of them.

    This game's combat is so amazing due to the fact that it has very good looking graphics, great sound, X-Ray moves, everything is very fluid, combos, special moves and of course the fatalities. There aren't only fatalities as well, there are babalities and stage fatalities. The babalities are hilarious and all of them are unique and different in their own way.

    Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition has an amazing amount of content such as the challenge tower, concept art, alternate costumes, new characters with DLC, the story mode, online mode and the "Test your ___!" games. Anyone who enjoys fighting games, especially the Mortal Kombat series, should play this game. I guarantee that you will have a great time while playing. Even people who don't like fighting games could play this, it's an amazing game.

This game is the first Mortal Kombat game I have ever played. Before playing this, I watched several videos of the series just to see what it was really like. Mostly, I just watched the videos that the series is famous for: the fatalities. This game is very well known for its finishing moves that allow you to murder your opponent in the most brutal way possible. However, after playing this game, I realized there was so much more to this series than just that. So, is this game the super-gory extravaganza the fans were hoping for, or is this more deserving of a teen rating than the previous entry in the series Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe? Let's find out. Let me just start by saying that the gameplay of this game is just brutal (in a good way). This game is an uber-violent fighting game that allows you to pick a character and brawl. It plays like a classic 2D fighter, just like Street Fighter, or heck, even the earliest entries into this series. This game is actually supposed to be a reboot of the franchise, going back to its 2D roots. All I can say about this reboot based on what I have played is this: it is an undeniable success! This game has some of the best 2D fighting I have ever played, right up there with Super Smash Bros.! The fighting is fast, furious, and fun for anyone to pick up and play. There are also several different modes. There's story mode, where you play as several different fighters in a massive story line, which I will talk about in a moment. There's also arcade mode, which plays like just about any other arcade fighting game. You pick your favorite character, and take him through ten in a row, ending with three boss battles! There's also a training mode, which allows you to just brawl endlessly with your favorite characters, as well as train and learn new techniques. Finally there's a challenge tower, in which you have to fight your opponent, while completing specific objectives. There are also several different mini-games to play. Of course, since this is a fighting game, it has to have multiplayer, and it does not disappoint. There are several different modes to play online with friends, including King of the Hill and online versus. Another cool feature of this game is that it has added tag team fighting, which allows you to pick two characters to fight together. There are also several collectibles to collect in this game, which you unlock either through normal means, or through the krypt, which allows you to purchase them with in-game currency you get for fighting. Overall, the gameplay is fantastic. Every character feels different, and plays differently. My only real complaint with the gameplay is that its difficulty might turn off some casual gamers. Even on beginner difficulty this game is extremely difficult. It is tough, but fair. As for the graphics, this game has to have the best graphics I have ever seen in a fighting game. Everything in this game is rich with detail, from the characters to the backgrounds. It literally looks better than any other fighting game I have ever played. It uses the Unreal Engine to its maximum potential, which I am very grateful for. It may not look as good as Mass Effect 2, but it still looks fantastic nonetheless. As for the story, it is hands down the best story I have ever seen in a fighting game. The game's story is told through the game's story mode. It starts out during the events of the preceding Mortal Kombat game, MK: Armageddon. The god Raiden is about to be killed by Shao Khan, the story's main villain. Just before his death, he looked into his shattered amulet and uttered the words "He must win!" into it. This vision of the future was passed down to his younger self, who must find out the meaning of the words. What follows is a retelling of the first three Mortal Kombat games (it is a reboot after all), and it is told extremely well. It is a little confusing at times, and stories of video game have been told better. Overall though, the story is fantastic, and should not be overlooked in favor of this game's other modes. Overall, if you are a fighting game fan, there is no excuse not to own this game. It is absolutely fantastic. There are a few minor flaws with this game, but they are easily forgotten about once you realize how awesome this game really is.

    The console cheats when fighting against computer. It's clear that the fighter get's disabled for couple of seconds and they don't do anything. When I tried to kick shao khan's ass with cyrax he couldn't reach him even if he was right in front of him and Shao Khan was able to do all of his combos faster than usual. This is a cheating game. And it doesn't function properly!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is fun to play in general, but it has a number of serious problems. First, it's easy to make your way through the entire game simply using the basic "throw" maneuver over and over again on every opponent. Works like a charm. Second, the game dynamics are completely broken when you meet Shao Khan. In order to make him "tough", the game cheats, violating every rule in the book. He is unthrowable, has unblockable attacks, can "stun" you, freezing your movement and controller, even without hitting you, just after you launch a successful attack on him. Basically, you have to use glitch cheating to kill him or slowly pound away by leaping in and out with uppercuts. Tedious, not fun and ridiculous - making an overpowered, invincible super-AI boss is not making a good challenge - it's an easy, lazy way out, and the game designers ought to be ashamed. If you get easily frustrated, I would avoid this game for this reason alone. Finally, the story just complete crap: none of the fights matter to the "plot"|, because none of the bad guys you defeat ever stay dead, and even the final defeat is revealed to be completely meaningless and a pointless "victory". Great story telling, guys. Really worth it. In short, this game has some fun to be had and decent mechanics, but could be much better balanced and designed - put some actual thought and development into the story and balance next time, please. It's not that hard to do. Expand

    Like seriously some people say they tags are bad but they a great with the tag combos that can afflict good damage and are fast and easy to use............. This existing awesome game also has other great secrets but I will let u find them out for yourself another great thing for the guys is all the girls are super hot except for Sheva............ One of the other great things is the different fighting styles for every character even with basic moves like uppercuts............ Like reptiles uppercut is an open hand instead of a punch like other people like Johnny cage......... there is even super cool stories at the end of the ladder not just the campaign.......... Another great thing is for the people who played the first game on the saga or in an arcade there is costumes from MK1, MK2, and MK3 also for almost every character there is a secondary or third costume for them......... Tip of advice the costume 2 and 3 are always cooler then the original

    Honestly if you like mortal kombat and you don't have it then

    GET IT ITS INSANELY COOL AND ONE OF THE BEST MK GAMES I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

    MK is back with the vengeance! Or is it? Although this one is universally hailed as the game that revived the franchise, it's still light years behind its bitter rival Street Fighter. As it was the case with Midway before, NRS follows the same principle of slacking off. Let's break it down...
    First of all, the graphics: Seem outdated. I noticed everyone praising the smoothness of the gameplay... Well no wonder! With gfx like these, the game should run flawlessly even on older machines! Furthermore, the models are extremely poorly executed, often anatomically incorrect, and I'm not talking about some minor flaws (for reference examine Liu Kang). It's also worth noting that all of the female model templates are exactly the same, a trait shared with at least 10+ male model templates. On the bright side, the backgrounds are really nice.
    Second online play: to summarize in one word garbage! Moving on...
    Third gameplay mechanics: What becomes obvious to anyone who played previous entries in the series is that, despite everything what developers say, the game engine is nothing new. It is polished, reworked so that the fights take place in 2D plane, but, in fact, it dates way back... Perhaps even all the way to Deadly Alliance.
    Fourth: there seems to be a serious balance issue, but this is not Street Fighter and it never was, so who cares?
    Fifth the story: IMO horrible! Back to the future knock off with plenty of plot holes and a truckload of inconsistencies regarding the original timeline. Frankly, I think that the dream match would be a far better solution.
    All in all, strip fatalities from the experience and you're left with a mediocre fighting game that has already paved its way to the oblivion. Fun to play with a friend for a couple of days, perform finishing moves but that's about it.

It also did not automatically assume that I was using an xbox controller nor was it confused by 2 non-xbox controllers (unlike street fighter 4).
    The gameplay is tight and it was easy to be sucked into the game without distracting flaws. There is a lot of polish on this game.
    The training mode is fantastic for learning curves. Not just move lists, but limb highlights and visual cues to aid in memorizing, button history, and hit info.
    There are unlockables but they dont go crazy by having you unlock each character bio and character gallery (Lazy unlockables).
    There is nothing missing in this game. The franchise is saved.

    Oh, and there is a tremendous amount of blood and gore.

    I gave it a nine because I have some personal gripes with character design. DD cups on fighter girls just doesn't do it for me. Super size breasts? meh. Muscular women? Perfectly fine. Put them together.....it's disturbing.

    Note: I can say nothing about online multiplayer, since I am outside the country right now and I can't even get a stable skype connection with friends. But I will say that it doesn't have GFWL; which an auto-win.

Thankfully, Mortal Kombat Komplete serves up some top-notch fighting with none of the Games For Windows drawbacks of the SSF games. This game features amazing graphics, lightning-fast animation speeds, superior controls, and a tremendous amount of content. There must be 30 or more characters, each with his own combos and special attacks. The game also features a full "story mode", where the player is led through a series of fighting stages tied together with rich cutscenes. Included, too, are a handful of mini-games and challenge modes. There's certainly plenty to do here, although it all ultimately revolves around fighting in the same general style. Any accomplishment in the game is rewarded through Steam Achievements and in-game currency which can be used to unlock even more content.

    The game is quite difficult. I was expert at Mortal Kombat on console twenty years ago, but in this version I find it difficult just to complete the ladder (the standard single-player gameplay mode) in the easiest skill level. The story mode is equally difficult. I've tried playing online a few times, but I was brutalized so badly that I doubt I'll ever try again. Those with faster internet connections or MUCH greater skill may fare better. Even with the difficulty, however, I'm having a lot of fun with the game. I would gladly give the game a perfect 10 if it included a hard-copy or printable manual including nice reference cards for player combos and special moves and a good online matchmaking system that takes skill and connection speed into account to kind of shield players from getting into very one-sided matches unintentionally.

Sound is fine but sometimes (not very often) in cutscenes dialogues become little unsophisticated. Definitely the best Mortal Kombat game ever and its worth buying it, i just think X-ray attacks should be like some fatality or finish move when enemy have low health, because watching enemy to get up like nothing happens after breaking his bones is not realistic.

    Best fighting game for PC ever, tons of characters, unlockables, games modes, a great and long history that reinitialize the complete saga and tells the history of every character of the game.

    Excellent port with the exception of the online component which is terrible. Matches are laggy, and the game is region locked on steam so you can only see players in your region without changing it through settings region. Moreover, there is a bug where if you have AA on, you can't see players in Online rooms.

    Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition with K...
    An excellent fighting option (Konsidering that there are not as many options for pc as there are for konsoles) with incredible graphics, effekts and gameplay, the story mode is good and it will have you playing for hours, besides there are many single player challenges, komprehensive tutorials and the character roster is large.
    You kan play it

    You kan play it with a xbox kontroller without lag just as if you were playing on a konsole. Graphic konfiguration is awesome and the game will run smoothly and looking great!! (assuming you meet the requirements). A little warning: the game is full of blood and gore as usual, but if you are ok with that it is a very komplete game (it includes all the dlcs that kame out for xbox and ps3) and it's worth playing if you like fighting games.The game launched with a very nice price tag konsidering everything it includes... now its time to play! Fatality! yeah! ^.^

    Last time i've played MK, it was MK3 in the arcades waaaaay back in 1995. MK3 was really, really bad. it looked rushed-to-arcade work, floating limps and uninspired and boring fatalities, thus ending my passion towards Mortal Kombat:(. oh, sure there was MK games after that, but the damage was done. fast-forward to today MK 2011 was released to PC and on special on steam, so i got it andLast time i've played MK, it was MK3 in the arcades waaaaay back in 1995.

    Best fighting game i've played in a long long while. Great port. Great flow. Great Story. Amazingly yes, great story for a fighting game. The fights come in the middle of the story and they don't feel forced, they just happen during the story. Graphics are very nice.

    The online experience could be better, especially with such a small community, but the game is solid enough in other areas that it is easily one of the better fighting games for the platform and worth checking out.

    The PC’s Komplete Edition is the best way to experience this game, technically. A modest gaming machine can run it with a nice smooth framerate and settings set high. The game has never looked more detailed and crisp, and timing your movements feels a little easier with the improved performance.

    A solid fighting game mired in its own questionable presentation. Superseded since its console launch.
