    One of the best fighting games I've ever played. From story to production value to voice overs to character development. This game is just mind blowing.

    This is a MUST buy for any fighting fan, but also a great game to own if you have PS4/Xbox One. The graphics will blow your mind and you will be speechless.

    10/10. Next level game. Simply TOO TOO GOOD!    … Expand

The level of quality of the product is absolutely top notch, and the package is fully featured with almost everything you could want. Criticism of the game seem to feature nitpicks that the reviewers blow out of proportion and then assign heavy review-score weight to that nitpick. For instance, I frequently see people saying that the story doesn't make sense. That'd dumb. of course it does. It's not even complicated. It just features a lot of characters that the game doesn't introduce. It assumes you to already be familiar with all the characters. Is that a reasonable assumption for the 10th game in a series to do? You be the judge, but that's a nitpick.

    Fantastic graphics, fantastic gameplay, fantastic package. I will be playing MKX for weeks and I don't even play online. Great game, well worth the purchase.    … Expand

    This is my 2015 GOTY. I've been a fan of this series since MK1 was still in the arcades and have owned every iteration - including the terrible PS2 saga - and couldn't be happier with this game. I can play for hours or just a few minutes depending on how busy I am - which is important as I get older.

    I love the story mode. MK still has the best story and characters in the genre.    This is my 2015 GOTY.

    I love the story mode. MK still has the best story and characters in the genre. It's interesting to see the characters age and evolve.

    The controls are tight and this is one of the few fighting games where I am having a hard time finding a main because I like too many characters. I love playing as Mileena, Kitana, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and even Kano who is a character I never enjoyed in any MK game. The variations keep things fresh and add more decision making.

    I can't wait for Kombat Pack 2 - hoping for Sindel and Rain to be added. Especially Rain - missed opportunity with such a great character costume design.    … Expand

I delved into the beautiful enviorments and skills that you master with great precision. The roster of playable characters has improved and some new additions have been added. The brutal tone is still there, and every moment is a do or die situation. The moves are ripped straight out of a Bruce Lee 80's goth kung fu action flick. The story is there, and it is worth it, with many camoes from people such as Jason Voorhees from Friday The 13th. Overall, this is a game worth the wait, and is a definate hit.… Expand

Having a variety of modes such as towers, story mode, test your might and the content filled Krypt to name a few, MKX is jam packed full of things to do and unlock. The gameplay is casual player friendly, but complex enough for hardcore players to dig into and master. Mortal Kombat is one of the few series that is fueled by dev and fan passion alike, and MKX is worth every penny. Absolutely spectacular game, definitely my Goty, and will be enjoyed for years to come. If you are looking for fun, this is without question worthy of your consideration.… Expand

There's no pit fatalities or stage fatalities on this one which is a little disappointing until you realise each character has two fatalities, 5 brutalities and 5 faction kills when you've levelled up enough. There's never been so many ways to finish someone in a mortal kombat. Some people have moaned that there are a lack of stages and I would agree to some extent. I always found myself choosing the same stages on the last game anyway I had my faves and I stuck to them. Dead woods and lin kuei temple are my faves this time around. Some won't be happy that their favourite characters didn't make the cut from the last game and I sympathise with those people. Cyrax. .. sektor. .. smoke.... sindel. ..kabal to name a few worthy fighters. The new fighters are a good mix..... maybe one too many sibling where the cages and briggs family are concerned but they're all likeable enough once you've played the story mode and understand why they're involved. I've been waiting for this game for months and I've actually made my hands hurt from playing solid for the last two days. The krypt is also good fun unlocking lots of goodies and extra alternate costumes. There's been a bit of bad publicity online regarding the purchase of easy fatalities etc..... I just think it's a bit silly but not knocking the game for that as they're something I would never even dream of buying. Honestly. ...I bought this and the kombat pack and goro and it's the most expensive game I've ever bought at £70 and I think it's going to be money well spent. If you like fighting games and don't mind watching a lot of gore then you should give this a try. I love it.… Expand

This game is deep.

    The average player probably will not grasp every mechanic, so if you read a review that calls this game a "button masher" or a "brawler", just stop reading it because the author has no understanding of what makes a fighting game good.

    Each character is highly detailed and thematic with a core set of 3-5 special moves, and 8-20 preset combo strings. They also have 3 variations each, which changes the special moves, adds new ones, changes the preset strings, and even changes some normal attacks. The amount of versatility for each character is stunning. . . and I was a skeptic. Believe the hype.

    With a new Endurance meter to manage your dashing and the new run mechanic, building combos is better than ever. It is obvious in the design that running is meant to not only pressure your opponent, but link together combo strings that otherwise would not be possible. So manage that meter!

And i loved it. It didn’t take me long to find out that Netherrealm (the developers of Injustice) was making a new fighting game called Mortal Kombat X. Now at this point i had only heard of the Mortal Kombat series and all it’s blood and gore. So i just assumed that it was gonna be another “okay” fighting game. I didn’t really think much about it from there on until the reviews came out. And they were damn good and it had a metascore of over 80. So yes i bought it on sale and when it loaded up i found out that it wasn’t just another “okay fighting game”. It was a masterpiece of a fighting game where every character has three different fighting style’s. Raiden for example can switch between Teleportation, Enhanced lightning attacks or setting up lightning traps, which is just what i was looking for in a fighting game.

    It is a bit sad to see that the game offers things like “30 Easy Fatality’s” for five dollars when doing fatality’s isn’t even that hard. Only Ermac’s first fatality (which is of course on of the best one’s) requires you to know how to do it or you have to buy “Easy Fatality’s”, which is definitely not fair for newcomers to fighting games. If you didn’t preorder it you also have to PAY to play as Goro, one of Mortal Kombat’s most beloved characters which is pathetic.

    The season pass character DLC though is pretty solid though. They offer four characters whereas two of them are old favorites and the other two are famous movie characters, Jason Vorhees and Predator which is absolutely genius.

    Overall i give this a 9,5/10 (when not counting in the whole “Pay to win” thing).    … Expand

    Oh wow, Mortal Kombat X is a treat, perhaps one of the best games of the fighting genre of this year so far.

    Mortal Kombat X’s story takes place 25 years after the events of Mortal Kombat 9 and introduces a new type of story not seen in the game before. It is a non-linear game, the main story taking place in the present, but with events given context through flashbacks to fill the gaps    Oh wow, Mortal Kombat X is a treat, perhaps one of the best games of the fighting genre of this year so far.

    Mortal Kombat X’s story takes place 25 years after the events of Mortal Kombat 9 and introduces a new type of story not seen in the game before. It is a non-linear game, the main story taking place in the present, but with events given context through flashbacks to fill the gaps of what happened to each of the characters during those 25 years.

    The new roster features eight brand spanking new characters, with a ‘main four’ who are all related to major players in the MK universe. You have Cassie Cage, daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade, Jacqui Briggs, Jax’s daughter, Takeda’s the son of Kenshi but was raised and trained by Scorpion and finally, Kung Jin, who is the cousin of Kung Lao. Easily the most diverse group of protagonists in any game of the moment! There are other new faces too, such as the badass insect queen D’Vorah and old western style sharpshooter Erron Black.

    The new Variation fighting styles that come with each character is definitely an interesting little feature. I can see these styles being better utilised by more competitive players rather than more casual players such as myself, but I can already see the benefit in the styles and how it can really tailor your experience as a player. Do you like fighting at close range? Then you’ll want to look at Cassie Cage’s Brawler or Jacqui’s High Tech variation. More of a ranged player? Try out Takeda’s Lasher or Raiden’s Thunder God variation. What’s neat about each of these is that a small part of the costume changes to signify the variation you’re fighting with or against. For example, Quan Chi’s Summoner has glowing red eyes and shoulder pauldrons and Kotal Khan’s eyes and tattoos glow orange in his Sun God variation. It’s a fun thing to try out, and each variation still keeps the base move set of the character, just with new special moves to buff them up. There are also more defensive variations out there, not all just about punching, shooting or stabbing such as Ermac’s Master of Souls variation which allows him to temporarily avoid damage.

    Story wise, the plot is pretty solid. It’s not mind blowing, but it’s not unsatisfying either. It clearly stands on its own two feet and with the flashbacks involved there is certainly more depth added in terms of character fluff to establish changing relationships between characters. There are some wonderful moments in the story, including old rivals coming together under a common cause and also darker moments that see old friends turn on one another. What’s great about the plot of this game, and I think this applies across NetherRealm’s last game as well, that you have a rich, lore heavy story that at the same time doesn’t actually leave you feeling lost at all. They lay it out for you in a way that makes it easy, but not just spouting out facts about the Earthrealm, Netherrealm and Outworld and their intertwining politics. For the tenth game in the series, that’s quite the challenge, but they’ve nailed it down pretty well. You won’t get any sharp plot twists or unexpected events, it’s all pretty linear but that’s absolutely fine in my opinion. It’s a game about beating the **** out of people at the end of the day, not everyone is going to be picking this game up for the plot, but it’s there if you want it.

    The voice acting really varies in this game, really varies. You have some superb voice talent amongst the newcomers, D’Vorah particularly stands out for me with her unique accent and resonance to her voice. Whereas characters like Raiden and Kung Lao fall a little short. I’m not sure if it’s the voice actors fault, or the writer’s fault on that one however. You can only do so much with what you’re given to make it sound good, but some of the dialogue just feels to me like it’s come straight out of a bad martial arts movie dub at times and when you have some excellent voice acting alongside, it makes the experience a tiny bit jarring. Of course, you do have that element of cheese there as well in the classic archetypes that the old timers have, like what I like to refer to as Johnny Cage’s ‘Duff Man oooooh yeah’ (10 points if you read it in the voice) type attitude and for a game like Mortal Kombat it absolutely works, has worked in the past and will no doubt continue to keep working in the future as well.

    The Living, Traditional and Online Towers are a brilliant way to burn a few hours and hone your skills. The innovative new Living Towers provide brand new and constantly cycling challenges that will constantly keep you on your toes. Not to mention the opportunity to find Secret Fights for secret achievements. You’ve also still got the Test Your Luck mode, which puts random modifiers on fights which always makes things interesting and of course the online fights as well. Online fights are something I personally steer clear of, simply because my skill level is so low compared to what I know will be waiting for me out in the big wide internet world that I’ll be torn to shreds in only a matter of seconds. I’d rather avoid that, really.

    Old features return to the game that you would expect to be there, including the Krypt where you explore the dark, haunted graveyard in search of secrets and bonus features such as skins and concept artwork in exchange for Koins that you collect through playing the game and winning fights in all modes of the story. Obviously the more expensive the secret, the better it will generally be.

    Over all however, the Mortal Kombat X experience is exactly what you would expect of a Mortal Kombat game. It’s face paced, fun and there’s no end to replayability as there will always be the chance to replay story mode and hit up the Towers. You’ve got plenty to play with and countless variations of characters to master. It’s a wholesome experience and definitely worth every penny    … Expand

The story mode lacked a little bit with how short it was but the multiplayer is the best ive seen in any fighting game.

    It wont take long to explain why Mortal Kombat X is the best executed title in the franchise. Aside from a story that somewhat lacks in the true "chaos without reason" tone set in the MK universe (it felt more like 7th Heaven meets MK complete with "life lessons" and a strong focus on friends and family), it still manages to attach a 4-6 hour campaign on top of an already stellar fightingIt wont take long to explain why Mortal Kombat X is the best executed title in the franchise.

    What stands out the most here is attention to detail. From each character having specific dialogue catered to their opponent (mirror match introductions are often hilarious), to the insane level of gore that gamer's have come to expect from the franchise, its all represented in style and a certain fluidity that is lost on many developers. PACKED with extras and unlockables (the most I have seen in ANY game of recent memory) as well as several variations on traditional Kombat game styles. KOTH and 5v5's are a couple of examples, with little touches like stage effects (low gravity, minimized arena, random ice missiles, etc...) if you wanted to play 100 matches between two characters you could with no two matches having the same win conditions/arena conditions. Add in an extra level of customization via character sub-sets (all 24 standard characters have 3 different styles a piece) and what you get is probably the most polished and balanced fighting game in years.

    9/10, pick it up if you are or have ever been a fan of the series. I lost interest a loooooong time ago, and NetherRealms has rekindled that flame with a solid "Injustice"-esque entry for current gen.    … Expand

    My last gripe is unlocking everything in the Krypt can take you forever. I remember how quickly I unlocked everything in MK9 and got more coins but NetherRealm wants you to pay them the $19.99 to unlock everyhing but anyways I dont really care about unlocking everything.

    I did got the Kombat Pack DLC so I am a bit pissed that every 4 characters I have to wait for a while for each of them to be release but they should of told the fans that not all 4 characters isn't ready yet.

    Overall the Story mode has been approved even in one sitting, I beat it. That got me very shocked that I beat the story mode in less then 4 hours in Medium mode. I do like a lot of the backstory for each of the new characters. I wish their was more about Erron Black which hes my favorite so far.

    In the fall of 1992 I was in high school . On the south side of Chicago there was a bowling alley where my friends and I would go after school . We'd go play pool bowl and talk to girls .

    One day while bowling we noticed    In the fall of 1992 I was in high school . On the south side of Chicago there was a bowling alley where my friends and I would go after school . We'd go play pool bowl and talk to girls . The bowling alley also had a tiny arcade . It was nothing special . Let's put it this way they had pole position . Older gamers will surely appreciate that last bit ,

    One day while bowling we noticed a line emanating from that tiny "arcade " . We wandered over for a look upon getting getting closer we were greeted with the sounds of martial arts combat . It called to us like sirens to sailors . The yells the sounds of punches landing and scorpions iconic Get Over Here ! We were amazed . The special moves, combat ways for people to juggle . The fighters looked real !! ( at least to us ) . The blood and then we saw the fatalities .

    We were hooked older people and teenagers like us lined up to compete against each other . Winner stayed loser walked . It was an amazing arcade game and it became a hit . A few years later the Chicago company Midway released MK2 . This time the arcade cabinet was in a video store . Some of you are saying what the hell is a video store ?. It was closer to our school than the alley so everyday after school we'd go .

    Pumping in quarters and spending hours trying to master the game . We wanted to find all the secrets , learn all the moves and perform all the fatalities . In those days the net was in its infancy so there were tons of rumors surrounding this game . A little later a home port was released . Ironically the same video store that took our quarters declined to carry the console version . I wasn't supposed to play these games but I did anyway and got caught . Shortly after my love affair with MK ended and I was on my way to becoming that old guy who yells at you to get off his lawn .

    Flash forward 20 something years and once again I'm answering MK's beckoning call . Let's start with the story . The story is of course ridiculous and the dialogue is campy . In a good way ( think Big Trouble In Little China ) . The story shifts between time periods and locations is enjoyable . Many of the Kombatants are here , though some fan favorites are absent . There is lots of fan service here and it shows . Let's face it most fighters have no story so being a MK fan I was happy .

    Other modes are present here as well . Like the challenge towers . These can either be played online or off and either way offer a lot of fun . Some towers are updated daily or evenly with rewards for completing them . Within Mortal Kombat x is a mini game based on factions . You are asked to chose one and everything you do in game contributes to your faction . Earning you rewards like faction fatalities and so on . Players across all platforms including mobile contribute to factions . Speaking of mobile app which is only available on iOS devices at the moment . Nets you rewards like costumes etc . Plus it's free .

    Online modes also feature towers . As well as 1 on 1 vs and team matches . As well as king of the hill which has that classic arcade community feel I spoke of earlier . There's simply tons of content here . From costumes to finishers to combos . The in game kurrency is used in the crypt . Unlocking things like fatalities concept art brutalities and so on .

    Some may be disappointed their favorite fighters are missing . Keep faith Its MK . This game brings back that classic nostalgia and feel for me in droves . Mortal Kombat pretty much solidified me to being a gamer and though I have strayed away I returned . Should you return to the arena of Mortal Kombat ?. I do not know but if you do you'll see me online with a big smile on my face and I'm sure one will be on yours as well . The hometown boys at Netherrealm have an absolute gem of a fighter on their hands . They have come full circle and for resurrecting this classic series in such a quality and entertaining way they deserve some kudos . Not only is MK x a great fighter it's a great game . In other words a flawless victory .    … Expand

    Then..... Time passed by and I grew older and wiser, grew up. Had a family and stopped playing MK games. I played every other type of genre on PC through to N64, to Ps1 right up to modern consoles.

    Then, MK X appeared. At first I paid little attention, but the hype started building. I watched interviews, and story videos and fatality videos. I was been drawn in. Finally on the day of release I went and bought the game. Went home and loaded it up.

    Hearing the broken bones, skulls and watching the most over the top fatalities done by some of the most iconic characters in gaming history again is an awesome feeling. Mortal Kombat X is finally here and it looks and plays better than ever.

    The game starts of by introducing you to the new faction wars mode in which you will be given 5 factions to choose from. Lin Kuei, Black Dragon,    Hearing the broken bones, skulls and watching the most over the top fatalities done by some of the most iconic characters in gaming history again is an awesome feeling. Mortal Kombat X is finally here and it looks and plays better than ever.

    The game starts of by introducing you to the new faction wars mode in which you will be given 5 factions to choose from. Lin Kuei, Black Dragon, Brother Hood of Shadows, Special Forces and White Lotus. I chose the White Lotus, A secret organization with powerful martial artists formed by Raiden and Shaolin. Faction wars is an online experience in which everything you, do whether it is in the single player or multiplayer will earn you faction points, rewards and will improve your leader board position.

    The first thing you will notice is how beautiful the graphics are. The fighters themselves look impressive while small touches such as the sweat, blood and the way they move makes the fighting feel real.

    The varied of levels are done with a lot of care. Everything around you is moving. Each of the 13 levels is like a theme of its own such as the Kuatan Jungle and the refugee camp in which you fight as caged refuges helplessly watch.

    You can use your environments to your advantage such as throwing an innocent person at your opponent or using objects to jump to the other side. Getting to know each level will give you the advantage. Mortal Kombat X is filled with content. The single player includes the story mode, towers, single fight and test your luck mode.

    Test your luck is one of the most entertaining challenge modes where 1 to 7 of the countless modifiers can be chosen such as dashing disabled, infinite timer, and lighting strike that will force you to use different strategies to beat your opponent. This mode is so exciting that I just came back for more because each fight felt different

    The traditional towers are back; however, what I spent most of my time on was the living towers that are divided into 3 sub modes. Quick towers, is like the classic towers from previous Mortal Kombat games but with extra conditions that improve on the experience. These conditions are always updated, so each fight might have different conditions than the previous fight. Daily tower changes every 24 hours and offers new challenges and then there is the premier tower that offers the most challenging fights. I enjoyed playing the living tower mode because it added tons of reply value.

    The Krypt mode makes a return. The more you fight the more koins you earn which allows you to unlock rewards and secrets.

    When it comes down to the gameplay, Mortal Kombat X does a great job. I was impressed by how solid and deep the game mechanics are. You get to choose from 3 variations for each fighter. Each variation has different abilities and attacks. This helps in choosing the strategy you prefer depending on your opponent. For example, choosing Ninjutsu for Scorpion gives him deadly swords that he can use during battle.

    You will fill up a super meter that is located on the bottom left every time you execute a normal attack or special moves on your opponent. The better you perform your combination the faster the bar will get filled. The first bar is the EX bar that allows you to do powerful moves when activated. Once the super meter is filled the X-ray becomes available. The X-ray is the strongest and most devastating move in the game.

    Learning the different techniques during a fight is key because each move counts. Delaying your character to get up after a knockdown is a useful technique as it confuses your opponents timing.

    There are also training rooms to do fatality practices and improve your skills. The controls are easy to pick up to perform all sorts of combinations and fatalities.

    The story caught me by surprise it was like watching a big block buster that kept me entertained and wanting more the whole time.

    The story spans 25 years following the last game and it is split into chapters that are filled with fights. Each chapter focuses on a single character. For example, chapter 1 focused on Johnny Cage, chapter 2 on Kotal Kahn and so on.

    It was interesting to see how the story unfolded; you really get to learn more about the characters as you feel each one has a unique personality. The elders have lost power to Kotal Kahn and it is up to our heroes to take back control. During the journey, you will come across many characters from previous games and you will also be introduced to new ones as well.

    The cut scenes are very good with many quick time events that allow you to interact with the game. The cut scenes were a bit long but I never felt it dragged on as they were entertaining. I was hoping that the main campaign would be longer as I completed it in only around 5 hours.

    The roster features 25 old and new characters so far, each of them feels different with their own personalities. The new characters such as D’Vorah and Erron Black are great but my personal favorite was Ferra/Tor; 2 different characters but fight together during battle. Ferra is the small warrior who sits on the back of Torr, a beast who shows no mercy.

    The fatalities are back and more blood and gory than ever. There is something special about performing a fatality, it just feels satisfying. There is a new easy fatality feature that allows players to do a fatality much easier.

    With good soundtracks, and excellent gameplay Mortal Kombat X reminds us of what made the series so captivating in the first place. Whether you are a veteran or a new comer, Mortal Kombat X will give you a great time.    … Expand

It offers different ways to play each character and keeps opponents unsure of how to approach you.
    this game packs everything from different match modes to chat rooms/ lobbies to adding different elements to the actual fight itself. Such as adding random lighting strikes, slowing / speeding up the fight/ Random lazer beams scrolling across the screen etc. It adds a lot more depth than I was expecting. Then there are the new characters.....Some, such as Erron Black and Ferra/Torr are just nasty...... I mean, NASTY. And some feel like they are just rekindled skins of our favorite vets. But on the whole, this is a great experience. The Krypt is always a welcome way to find unlockables and I really like how they changed the dynamic of it.

    Mortal Kombat X is the first game, aside from the original MK and few other titles, that I enjoy playing. There have been disappointmenting titles in the series, but this game is one of them. Sure, I wish it had a bigger roster, but Kenshi, Kung Lao, and Ferra/Toss are more than enough fun to play. And, sure, there are more Cage's than I would like, but I believe there are some hidden gems in the game. The roster doesn't take away from the games fighting mechanics.

    I also have the four guest Kombatants, which I'm overly excited about.

    I really enjoy how each character has three variations, which affect combat. That makes a significant impact on the characters and opens the opportunity for a new level of mastery. I enjoyed the story mode and multi-player mode. I have not played online, so I can't comment on that. However, no game can be as bad as most CoD titles when it comes to online lag. The fighting is smoother than the average MK title. The fatalities and brutalities are violent, which makes them awesome. The graphics aren't stunning, but they're at their best when you're performing fatalities or x-ray attack.

    The Good:
    -Unbelievable visuals/animations. Fatalities, Brutalities, and Faction Kills look better than ever.
    -New Krypt layout is a surprisingly fun way to spend koins and gain access to the unlockables
    -Fun story mode with an average storyline (remember people, this is a fighting game. A story mode is a bonus)
    -A large variety in content that will keep people coming back.

    The Bad:
    -Netcode can be shaky at times, which will cause severe input lag and virtually makes a match unplayable. This has been improved with the latest update and doesn't happen nearly as often (for me at least)
    -The uppercut is way to powerful of an attack for something that is one input (even by MK standards). It currently is a 14% hit that is hardly punishable due to the quick recovery and push back on block. Not a huge gripe but it is a very, very damaging move that is easily done.

    The Ugly:
    -Currently this game doesn't have anything that is game breaking or bad enough to harm anybody's experience with the game.

    Currently this is the best fighting game on the market for ps4 and even though it isn't 100% perfect, it is an awesome game to play.

    **Edit**
    I find it absolutely comical how people can rate this game under a 3 only because of the DLC that is offered. If it's something that bothers you, THEN DON'T BUY IT. None of the DLC that is offered is game breaking or puts players in any sort of advantage. It's additional content. ADDITIONAL. The new 'cool' thing to do is slam games for offering DLC at launch or at specific intervals throughout the games lifecycle. It does not detract from the gameplay in any way what so ever. The game is still an excellent fighting game.

    Long story short: the reason why the majority of new games offer so much DLC is because people will dish out the cash to buy it. If you don't want it, or disagree with the principal, don't buy the content. Stop with the BS and actually review the game for what it is.    … Expand

My favorite was kustom kombat not only for chaos such as quadruple fire missile matches but the modifiers can help even the playing field if you have a friend that is either way worse or better than you.

    If you played the last one,this one should be easy to learn. Now there is just stuff such as variations which are a bit hit and miss. Some are blatantly better than others which really makes the three for each character redundant. Your goal if you want to succeed is utilize all your abilities to juggle opponents into brutal combos and prevent them from doing the same. Easy to learn,impossible to master.

    I also wasn't a fan of the factions. The game introduces you to all five of the factions as soon as you start the game and you get to choose which one you'd like to be a part of. The problem is that the war between them just doesn't seem like a fair fight. You just can't pit all the Sub-Zero fans against all the Kano fans and expect the latter to stand a chance. If your faction is severely outnumbered(like mine,Special Forces represent) there really is no point to even trying against the larger ones. I'd prefer something such as comparing the factions' collective online W/L ratio,that way a couple high level players can win against a thousand button mashers. Other than some cosmetic unlockables,that is all the factions have.

    Fatalities are back and better than ever. All the imagination that went into these is way too much and that's why it's glorious. Next gen adds some more realism with twitching eyes and eyes rolling back into heads. Gross.

    With several small downgrades littered throughout the place,shorter story,smaller roster,etc. No honest person can say this is a completely upgraded sequel. However, it is a better game in general and it has gallons of blood on offer to those fortunate enough to play.    … Expand

    -Surprisingly engaging story.

    The bad:

    -Some micro-transactions.

    Review:
    I should preface this by saying that I have not played a Mortal Kombat game since the SNES-days, and probably haven't touched a fighter in about as long either. So I was somewhat surprised that I enjoyed Mortal Kombat X as much as I did.

    The graphics are very good and the frame rate is stable with the exception of a few times during cut-scenes in the story mode. The fighting is crisp and fluid with a lot of depth concerning positioning, reach of the characters and their moves and what not. I did have some trouble nailing combos at first until I found a setting under options called "negative edge" and turned it off, after that it went much smoother.

    The story, script and even voice acting is surprisingly engaging, especially if you are familiar with the characters. While not achieving greatness on any level it is decidedly more than I expected considering the amount of people who can be expected to buy a Mortal Kombat game for the story (probably somewhere between none at all and 0%). The banter between the fighters at the start of a match is also often times witty.

    There are a large heap of different game modes (both offline and online as well as vs humans or AI). Aside from the story mode and the standard versus modes there are standard towers (fight different enemies on the way to the top), living towers (towers that change hourly, daily or weekly), test your luck (where you play with different kinds of randomized modifiers), test your might (where you buttonmash to break objects), Faction Wars (where you declare for a faction and then collect points and fight on behalf of that faction), the exploratory Krypt (where you unlock skins and finishing moves and more) and an extensive training mode. And I cant swear that I didn't forget one or two in that list. There are also close to thirty characters with each of them having three different variations.

    In short; there is A LOT of content in this game. But it is of course all of it dependent on you liking the basic premise: fighting games with gratuitous violence. Speaking of the violence is as over the top as ever, often times approaching almost comical heights of depravity.

    On the negative side I did have some connectivity issues early on after release, but they seem to have subsided with the few patches since released. There is also A LOT of content to unlock, maybe too much, and some micro transactions or DLC if you cant be bothered to work for it. None of it matters from a balance perspective however; it is all cosmetic with the exception of the release of new characters in coming DLC:s.

    Fighting-wise it seems to be like the old Tekken games. One button for each hand one button for each leg. X-ray attacks look awesome. Some of the fatalities are incredible. Brutalities are back and are a lot of fun.

    Online play seems to be hit or miss. I'm wireless and haven't have any connectivity issues, but opponent quality is all over the place. The 5 factions for online play are a good idea in practice but don't seem to be great in reality because so many people just pick the same one or two. The "Faction Kill" fatalities that are introduced are mostly mediocre.

    Story-wise, you can beat the story in a couple hours, but it is really well-done. Good cinematics, and a good way to learn how to use some of the new characters as well as to play some of the older characters.

    The re-done Krypt is awesome and worth exploring for unlockables and there are a few surprises in it to keep you paying attention.

    Overall the game is awesome, plays great, good level interaction in every stage. My only real issue with it is several characters who are in 9, living or dead don't make an appearance outside of NPC status in the story or as opponents in the story and will likely be pay-to-play at some point. Some of my favorite characters are unplayable because of this. There's really no real reason to do that besides a money-grab. AI seems to be VERY noticeably different on each difficulty (stick to medium if you're average), and the final boss in the storymode's ending and at the end of the Klassic Tower is a little overpowered but not to the point where it's unbeatable, you just have to be smart.    … Expand

    Online issues, lag and disconnects.

    This game is an awesome fighting game!
    A slap in the face of CRAPCOM money suck titles.

    Overall this a an amazing game the combat is smooth and deep. It has a large roster and 3 variations per character. There are a lot of DLCs released already, but I don't see the big deal with that. A lot of people are mad about this for some reason. Them selling easy fatality's, Krypt unlocks, and pointless character skins isn't hurting you any, and there has always been character DLC forOverall this a an amazing game the combat is smooth and deep.

If i had to score I'd give it a 9. The only down side is the story is short and the AI tends to spam attacks on medium and below difficulty so newer players may struggle at first.… Expand

    Great game. My only problem with Mortal Kombat X is the over priced Kombat Pack. They also try to sell full crypt unlock for $20. Now come on guys don't rape us just cause you know you have hardcore fans. Think about it.

    We all have different opinions, so I'm going to say mine. This game is truly amazing! The graphics makes the gore look great! With all the time that I spent playing this game I can say that it deserves a good review! Even tho the gore and violence is just watermelons being crushed, it still makes it sound real and believable.

    But I do have one issue... Before I say my problem I'm just going to speak for myself. About a decade ago who remembers playing these types of games, who remembers trying to get to the final stage in the towers to unlock characters? What happen to does days? Why does everything need to be about money now.. If this game was created a decade ago, they would've done secret levels to unlock Jason, or Tanya, even predator. You'd have to work for them, not just simply buy them. But instead we have to buy them, companies just make more and more bundles, dlc, etc, for money. If they really thought about the players they would do things like before, where we would have to unlock the character and fight for them.

    But anyway other than that, Great game!!    … Expand

    Mortal Kombat X at first glance seemed very casual, easy and noobfriendly to me. The more time I spend in it though, the more I love it. This is definetly a game for the e-sports, and this is my favorite fighting game of all time.

    So is Mortal Kombat X a Sub-Zero or a Flawless Victory? It does what it set out to do: Be a kick-ass fighting game.

    Its throw back to old characters and destructive beauty really set it apart from previous games, whilst its poor story execution stops it from being a Kompletely Flawless Victory.

    Its throw back to old characters and destructive beauty really set it apart from previous games, whilst its poor story execution stops it from being a Kompletely Flawless Victory. Although there are some elements that could have been done better, the game is the strongest release to date and there are endless hours of gameplay available through the various online and offline modes. So sit back, hit “Down, Back, Forward, Up” and watch as Scorpion blows a hole through the enemy and then slice their face off. Enjoy!!    … Expand

    First off, the gameplay its self is amazing and fun! The graphics are spot on for next- gen consoles. It's a fun game to play with your friends and battle out.

    Second, the campaign in the game is very interesting but, the problem only is that to much talking scenes between characters than actually more fighting scenes.

    The violence is way over the top, so it can't be and shouldn't be taken seriously. Otherwise it's a very solid game with demanding fights.

    No longer eclipsed by mere technical competitors, this is brash, brilliant, and brimming with extras. [July 2015, p.68]
