    The game itself is certainly fun. It has an ample amount of content and different game modes which you could waste a great amount of time on. The port is very smooth as well.

Unfortunately, the core gameplay itself is crucially flawed. The game feels broken and unbalanced, as combo strings seems to last forever. There are literally combos that can hurt you for 100% of your total health (which I personally think it ridiculous). You will also find yourself infinitely frustrated with certain battles in that game, as they feel extremely unfair (Shao Kahn will let you know the meaning of rage).

    Moving on PC take about 2 years (too much) but its was worth waiting. The graphic look better then on other consoles but cutscenes are really horrible.

    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.

    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.

    Best fighting game that came to pc ever and also it is the best MK so far the story of the game is just amazing and you don't need to play the previous games as this one gives you the story of all the previous parts the game play is just amazing as MK keeps to be brutal and funny and with amazing Xray moves and bloody fatalities you'll never get bored of the game

    Awesome game! Obviously a living fighting classics, the gameplay is blazing fast and exciting, a great story is behind all the action, and all the characters loved by the players are back. I had a couple of crashes and glitches, but I had such a blast playing this game that I can't bring myself to put any mark less than 10.

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.    … 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

    I don't need to emphasize why Mortal Kombat is great other to die hard Street Fighter fans.

(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!

    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.

    A solid port of an excellent game. Was able to run it smoothly on both a midlevel PC and a laptop. Decent amount of graphics options and game runs silky smooth at 60 fps most of the time at max settings. Controls are pretty good though as expected a controller is better than M+KB.

There's several hours worth of single player content but the game really shines in multiplayer. I enjoyed the look and feel of all the characters as well as the story. This is probably the best MK in terms of pure quality and content since the original trilogy. Certainly the best 3D one.

    If you're a fan of Mortal Kombat or just a fan of fighting games in general, this is the one game on the PC you have to buy. The genre provides few options on the PC so this port is a godsend. It looks good, plays good and is a ton of fun. If you don't mind excessive gore this game is amazing. Only $30 on Steam makes it very, very worth it.    … Expand

    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

    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.
