MK 1 vs MK Armageddon

Great graphics for a modern version of a classic game.
However, I wish the would have continued on the creativity of MK: Armageddon. Create a Character with customizable features and moves made that game great. It felt like a step away from perfection. Just Do MK Armageddon with all customs unlocked and have it with the better graphics and you would have the perfect MK game.
Also, should be cheaper.

If you’re a mortal kombat fan, buy this game. The one star reviews are because of the pre order steelbook issues and I myself didn’t get a steelbook either as best buy claimed it was damaged, but I am having a brand new one shipped to me supposedly. Be aware of possibly not getting a steelbook/getting a damaged one if you buy this game. If you don’t care about that, then you’ll have a blast with the game.

The game is fun first and foremost. The combat mechanics are a marked improvement from MK11. The Krypt has been replaced with Invasions mode which is welcomed by me as I found the Krypt to be annoying gacha. Ty ere a are a fee bugs though like player 1 advantage with some combos but im sure that will be patched soon enough. Story mode is fantastic and though and the future content planned looks amazing.

This game is enjoyable. I thought I wasn't getting it delivered until Monday, the 18th because the email notification stated it had been delayed...I got on Friday, the 15th. I always Pre-order through Best Buy. And my game came with a steel case. This is a new beginning for Mortal Kombat side note, play MK11 with the dlc before playing this to fully understand the story. Overall, the game is worth it.

MK 1 Is A Disaster

I am one of the few that is very disappointed in this release. Bottom line it is unfinished and it has glitches all over the place. Whether it be Fatalities/Brutalities/Projectiles there are many time things don't connect or as for Projectiles they go right through opponents! For the $109.00 I paid for it, the steelbook was nice and getting the Kombat Pack 1 ( pre-pay ) I felt like I should of just waited for it as it was released unfinished. Invasion mode is a snore fest but the Story is pretty decent. If you're on the fence on this one then you should wait till at least they start pumping out the dlc and the Second Season... you won't miss much. Sorry NRS...Not Sorry.

The combat mechanics are great. Kameos make for a great time and allow different ways to play characters. The downside is that the game is missing features from the previous game. Compared to some recently released fighting games this one does seem to be missing some key features. Overall fun game but needs some work that they will hopefully implement.

I have practically every Mortal Kombat game for PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. This one is quite possibly the best one yet in terms of graphic display and gameplay. However, the button executions are not always as you input them and quite frankly, I finished the story mode way too fast. Great game though with a great storyline.

This game has amazing combat, a much improved step from MK11. Only issue is NRS are getting too greedy. Too many characters, skins, and fatalities hidden behind a paywall. I already paid for the premium edition, which is over 100 dollars. Miss the days when a game would come out with all of its content

Definitely a fun ride through story mode, and I like the new mechanics, but I feel like aside from the final few chapters I was more invested in the story of MK11 more. The recent transaction stuff isn't great either but that was already happening so it's just a continuing crappy element to me.
