    This is a huge advancement in the Mortal Kombat series. The graphics in the game has become much better compared to the previous part and the gameplay has become whiter faster. The plot is very good, even better than in Mortal Kombat X, but Shao Kahn was hard to beat, especially on the keyboard.

    - 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.    … Expand

    I already knew this masterpiece for a long time, but only with MK9 did I fall in love with this fighting game.
    Perfect, brutal, competitive, perfect gameplay!

    Stiff character models and lacklustre combos make this a decent but overall mediocre experience.

    Excellent story, gameplay and singleplayer content are held back by **** character design and although not as bad as mkx, quite a poor input system.

    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.

    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.

    The best story ever when it comes the fighting games and they also managed to make every character in this HUGE roster unique, balanced and interesting.

    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.
    Challenge tower was desgined by some sick minds that have this tatoo on their arms:
    We have our players.

    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.

    This port of Mortal Kombat (2011) would be a lot higher if the story mode didn't look so grainy and just all around bad.

    Я конечно не играл в предыдущие части Mortal Kombat. Но я считаю что это достойный перезапуск этой знаменитой серии.

    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. 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 backIn 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. 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!    … Expand

    Лучший файтинг на ПК, лучшая часть со времен 3 ультимейта.
    Мягкий перезапуск вселенной тоже не просрали, что не может не радовать.

    Story : 8/10
    The story part of the game did not last long. Some of the dialogues were very sly.
    Graphics : 6/10
    The game graphics are very up to date, but the cinematic graphics are very old

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    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.
