    Great game but NOT a 10 and also NOT a 0, doesn't deserve the terrible ratings it's been getting! If you don't like what they've done with the series, please move onto something else instead of imposing your personal affections on what is otherwise a solid production.

    Best fighting game since Mortal Kombat 9.
    Excellent gameplay.
    Nice story mode.
    Fantastic set of characters.
    TONS of content.
    Beautifull graphics.
    Now updated with more content!!!
    If You like fluid, fun, brutal fighting games - go for MKX.

    The only thing lacking is the gameplay mechanics, way too much 50/50 and vortex setups. Other than that, a great roster, great graphics, plenty of offline content, and a really satisfying story mode.

    so much fun a great game to challenge your friends and it feels like if you're playing the arcade version of mortal kombat but with great graphics and lots of cool features.

    Excellent graphics, loads of well-balanced characters, good single-player modes, and most importantly a great netcode and fluid, smooth gameplay make Mortal Kombat XL a must-have for any MK or fighting game fan. Much better than a recently released fighting game which was literally unfinished at launch.

    NetheRealm studion know how to do it and they did it! I am MK fan since the NES version,and this game has it all.There are some unnecessary characters (Cassie Cage) ,but overall,game is a masterpiece,especially to beat the sh*t out of your friends!

    Con elementos superiores que incluso al MK11, como es la calidad y realismo de los fatalities, el número de personajes jugables y las opciones de doblaje.

    AMAZING, this version is better, bug fixed etc etc, characters, Arenas, Fatalities and Brutalities, 10/10, graphics and gore. Towers, Story, Challenge and the game modes test your might and test your luck, is incredible! i Love MK.
    Waiting for MK 11.

    Loved the story mode on this game, I also loved how the characters had their own personalities. I'm not going to lie, I love Sonya's tough-girl personality. I also loved the voice acting - sub zero's voice actor's got a great set of pipes!! Great writing, great voice acting, the only bad thing is the story's too short!!

I wish I could have just upgraded my pc version to play in 4K, the Warner Brothers poor pc treatment is in full effect. Gamestop had a great trade in deal with $30 credit toward XL if you turned in the original MKX, so I paid the $35 (after tax) because I love box copies of games. The netcode seems a lot better as well. Finally I feel that Kombat Pack 2 should have been part of the original season pass that so many of us paid for. But again, even the original MKX and MK9 had far more content that Street Fighter V had on launch day for $60 bucks. The economy of video games and dlc is in a sad state.… Expand

    MK XL is an absolute blast, so much fun and so easy to play.
    The story is really good because it adds background to many of the fighters so when you use them they're not just un-developed murder machines.

    Mortal Kombat XL is a well produced but somewhat unnecessary re-release of an already solid fighting game. The combat in XL is just as fluent and fun as in MKX. Netherealm also bundled up all the DLC and stuffed it in this game, which is very well apreciated.

    I am a fan of MK since i was a kid. This is a game that perfectly presents the old characters. Half of the new charatcers are cool,and half aren't. But this is maybe the best MK game up to date.

    Not much to say other than a better, more brutal and bloody mortal kombat game with more characters. good stuff! Has great graphics and combat runs smoothly. The game can again feel like previous Mortal Kombat games. However, a Mortal Kombat fan loves the gruesome combat and the improved graphics through the franchise so i recommend a purchase if you enjoy Mortal Kombat

Mal hecho Ed Boon lee mas a tus fans o te van a traicionar, deja esa política excesiva de DLC.

    The graphics in this game and the level of detail is impressive, the gameplay well is the same as previous M.K. games. Although not my favorite M.K. game is pretty good added it has all the D.L.C and added content this game is the preferred version to get.

    i think most of the low scores on here are because people are angry about the full release after they bought the original and maybe paid for dlc (this is why i have started doing reviews for the games i bought, because i am sick of the nonsense and misleading reviews on here) for anyone who didnt buy mortal kombat x, now is the time to buy because its all included in this version and a great fighting game. in fact if u like fighting games then this is probably a nine    … Expand

    This is still that good fighting game from last year, without any significant additions nor massive changes besides new characters and cosmetics. With improved netcode and all balance fixes NetherRealm has released so far, Mortal Kombat XL is nearly a flawless victory.

    Mortal Kombat XL is the total package for newcomers, with a lot of content and fighters included. The first day fans however pay a hefty price to get all the new content.
