    Until Tekken, Street Fighter, and the rest of the fighting-game crowd makes a current-gen splash, fighting freaks should waste no time buying this.

    My real score is 8. I just wanted to balance out the idiot who gave a zero because it is on Xbox one. This is supposed to be a game review,My real score is 8. I just wanted to balance out the idiot who gave a zero because it is on Xbox one. This is supposed to be a game review, not an Xbox vs ps4 review.

    Anyway been playing through the story and it's been very enjoyable so far. A decent campaign with some cool sequences and fights.

    The game mechanics feel very tight and accurate and things seem balanced so far. Everything feels smooth apart from some slowdown at the end of a fight but I'm sure they will patch this.

    The graphics are not amazing but they are decent and it looks vibrant and detailed.

    My only issue is that the premium seems overpriced for jus 4 characters and some skins.

    overall if you like fighting games and mortal kombat this is a solid game with lots of characters to try out.

    Yet another disappointing game. Does not have classic characters like Liu Kang or Noob Saibot. DLC throughout, and a day 1 patch with a seasonYet another disappointing game. Does not have classic characters like Liu Kang or Noob Saibot. DLC throughout, and a day 1 patch with a season pass. No reason to purchase this one. Also, this one is on Xbox One, which cannot handle HD graphics or 60 fps. Framerate drops throughout, low res textures, poor xbox live performance, etc. Full Review »

    Story mode is pretty cool, that gives it 2 points for me for 4 hours of gameplay. Which I think is great, but the multiplayer is horrible,Story mode is pretty cool, that gives it 2 points for me for 4 hours of gameplay. Which I think is great, but the multiplayer is horrible, the lag is so bad you cant play this game. Even with a great connection this game is unplayable online, for a story mode this short on playtime its not worth it. If multiplayer wasn't so bad it'd be a better score for me. But it's the worst experience I've had in an online game EVER. My connection is good at 20mbps down and 10mbps up. This is enough for 32 mans on any other game yet It's unplayable on a 1v1 match on this game. Don't buy this unless you intend to play offline only. Full Review »
