IMPORTANT UPDATE TO MORTAL KOMBAT BANNING

[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)

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?

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

I cant really say I have played enough of MK3 to make a judgement, heck even my MKII knowledge is fairly weak. I have played most of the games wfterwards though, for a bit anyway. What I will say as probably the best endorsement I could give, would be

"It's the best Mortal Kombat game I have played"

Of course it gets bonus points due to the fact I can pull of some fatalities (which I could NEVER do)

YAY!

A.C.T. is passing legislation for R18+ games

There may be some Federal opposition, but is believed to go ahead in a few months.

Ah ok, yeah, I reckon I know what you mean - so if it lies between II and 3 then I reckon that would be a pretty nice sweet spot, not too fast but not too slow either.

I've played a fair bit of all of them myself and there are definitely 2 control scheme eras for MK - Those that encompass MK to MK4 and those that comprise Deadly Alliance to MK vs. DC.
The 1st era made for some insane speed matches where as the 2nd became really technical IMO, so they have quite contrasting playing styles but both made Fatalities notoriously difficult to pull off.

I'd like to see how this new one feels though as the pace and control scheme seem to be a melding of eras per-say and if the post below is an indication of anything...

I/We might just get that opportunity.

Hazaa!

It's more like MK2 than MK3. That's also what the developers were aiming for.

Apparently, someone has had their copy seized. If true, this is the first reported case. Maybe customs just woke up to the fact that people are ordering copies off the internet

I'm an Xbox guy. Oh well!

I want them to release the classic costumes for everyone already. I want to play as classic Reptile because normal Reptile looks kind of dumb.
