    This is the best fighter available on the pc. Only thing i can complain about is the low res cut scences but modders have come to the rescue. A must play if you haven't already. Also multiplayer is not going to give you the best experience though it was even broken on console.

    Bad: Just a port of the console version if you havent played it on the console version theres no other additional content for the PC version at all. Older video cards like the ATI 6670 runs the game around 30fps to 40fps in 720p not acceptable for fighting games. The Bink Video gives off bad quality render videos in story mode even the sound is horrible when its playing back through your headphones. Almost everything is unlocked for you, so no sign of progression except for story mode and the endings for the ladder matches for each character. Only mostly concept art and the music files are unlocked in the krypt which makes the krypt useless so no additional music videos, trailers or the making videos.

    This game is fun playing it locally and the Challenge Tower. I personally dont really play fighting games online even when I use to have the original for PS3 in 2011. The only thing I miss from the PS3 version is Kratos stage fatalities but the new DLC characters that are all unlocked makes it up and also saves me a lot of cash of not purchasing them last year. I would say wait for a steam sale of $19.99 then its worth getting since your not getting any additional Kontent for the PC version or any major graphic enhancement except seeing it more sharper with AA at true 1080p or higher resolution. Fun game overall.

    This would of been a 9 for an extra exclusive character or more content then just all the DLC. Like more video content like in MK Armageddon. Behind the scenes would of been nice unlocked. The Shadow Trailer with Disturbed

    I would of given a 10 if they made the graphics a bit more enhanced with the unreal engine like they did with Gears of War compare to the console version. Some more color or light rays would be nice    … Expand

    Ok, so this game is probably not so bad and it is nice to have some modern fighting game on PC.

My biggest complaint is the story mode where you are forced to play a particular character for several rounds. Everything would be Ok, but making me play as a LIU KANG in order to complete the story is unforgivable. This character is the most lame and stupid one in history of video games. I've hated him back in 95 when I was 10 and my hatred didn't diminish a bit. The noises he makes are beyond retarded and his moves are useless and they all look stupid, not to mention the fact that he is an absurdly outrageous as a storyline character who can boast literally zero interesting traits. There is a reason why MK Conquest creators chose to have a story with Kung Lao as a main character and not to have LK at all. If there was a way to skip those levels or better yet to completely remove LK from existence the game would have been a lot better.… Expand

    Drawbacks of the game itself are minor, but there are some thing that could be done better, especially about handling performance issues. For example, the game could use hardware check-up for online play or existing visual options available via codes should've been brought into options (foreground objects, blood etc.).

    Another issue is that we can probably expect no support via patches at this point and thus no balance tweaks (which wouldn't be crucial though).

    Everything else is very solid, and I'd say welcome back, MK!    … Expand

    Truly the best Mortal Kombat ever. It warms my heart to see this series shining again. Everything you could possibly want in a Mortal Kombat game is here, and the attention to detail is insane. Great animations, victory poses and finishing moves, combos flow and link seamlessly, great level design, and surprisingly, an engaging story in campaign mode. A PC port that is worth every penny.

    This is a great port there aren't enough fighting games on the PC. I hope it sells well so we can get Injustice on the PC as well. I highly recommend the Razer Sabretooth control pad to play this as the D-pad is far more responsive than the xbox 360 control pad.

    This is a lot of fun, and takes the gore to another level. Controls are smooth, graphics are pretty, and lots of options. The story mode is rather dumb, though. For the first time in a while, the amount of game for the price is well worth it. Not many beat-em-up games are on the PC, and this filled the bill for my fill of mindless violence.

    The fighting system is great, the gameplay is fantastic, it runs very fluidly. You can configure the controls as you wish. I was playing the game on an old HD2600 XT video card and it is perfectly playable at lower resolution (1280x720, medium shadow quality, no antialiasing) without any problem and it still looks really great! It has all the DLC characters (Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain and Freddy Krueger) and klassic customes.

    Story mode is simple but fun, it is just sequence of fight with cut-scene rendered with the game engine, which would look great but... yeah, let's see the bad thing about the game.

    The game is almost perfect. One bad thing about it is the ingame videos. They just look bad, I mean, the quality is bad compared to the real in-game graphics. The are not high resolution enough. They should render them in real-time with the game engine, also that would mean around -4 gigabytes for the size of the game. One more bad thing, the Usual D3D error, which is possible on older videocards like in case of my HD2600. It can be fixed and it is possible it will run perfectly! I think the system requirements are pretty low, the official one is a joke, it will run on a much weaker PC.

    In overall, we got an almost perfect Mortal Kombat game for PC. It is fantastic, it has the good old Mortal Kombat feel, it plays well, it runs well, really great port. In-game cut scenes should be much better quality. The extras are fun, I'm very happy with it as other MK fans too. It deserves at least a 9 of 10. Great job!    … Expand

    Stay away from story mode and you will do just fine. Or learn how to play with each of characters before entering it. Without that you will found yourself frustrated by rapid character switching and complete inability to fight in some cases.

    Wasn't expecting this to be a great port, but in fact it actually is. Plays much better than the console version (and looks better). People with issues about hardware are people with old laptops, so obviously it won't run. There's enough graphic options, can change controls easily, and you can play with 1-4 people on the same PC. It's great!

This is probably the best MK in terms of pure quality and content since the original trilogy. Certainly the best 3D one.

    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.
