IMPORTANT UPDATE TO MORTAL KOMBAT BANNING

[SkyWarp91]

Argh! - The distorted 16bit wailing!

Man I just hope the Federal Government pulls rank on this one if they have to, i.e. the R18 rating, enough is enough - I want to play this bloody game!

What exactly is stopping the Government from releasing an R-18 rating for video games?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I think the current stage of the R- Ratings debate is deciding on how to classify what constitues and R-rating and how far it should go.

We have an R-Rating thread with a lot of details and discussion Here

Update - Despite the banning, a lot of fans are getting their games through. I have heard that customs are only targeting large shipments (more than 20 copies) rather than individual copies. Don't take that as gospel though.

In other MK banning news, it looks like Germany has taken steps to make the game illegal as well.

Just in case anyone is interested - yes, the game is bloody awesome

Germany ban or censor everything. Our edited version of L4D 2 was the german edit, that's why it was less violent than the first L4D.

Yah, looks like the Germans are more seious about the old game censorshipage than we are.

i've played this and cant see the appeal. the combos tend to not string very well and the fatalities are boring *goes back to MVC3*

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Its a lot better combo wise than previous MKs! Thats not saying much though. I think one needs to keep in mind that it has a different fighting system and style to Street fighter, much like King of Fighters had a (slightly) different feel too.

I have seen some good combos come out of it, mainly started from a bit of floating (reminds me of Virtua Fighter 2) and watching rounds on youtube of people is usually interesting. Its also a good fun game to play with someone who isnt that experienced with 1 on 1 fighting games. Good with beer too!

I love the Hell out of this game but I'm not great at it. I still haven't actually used all of the characters yet so maybe I haven't found the character that I'll kick everyone's arse with. (haha that'll never happen)

[Hursticon]

I hate you all!
All I'd like to know, as I've watched enough videos on the game to fill a Telstra Download quota, is whether or not the game feels and handles like the first 3 games and if so - Where abouts does it sit?, closer to MKII or MK3?

[Gutsman Heavy]

It's like a slower Mk3 if a comparison must be made, but it's really it's own game.
