Preordered in May and today I received it without the steelbook! It said on my preorder that steelbook was included! Which I didn’t receive I called customer service they said it was not included in the preorder “supposedly “ won’t be ordering any preorders no more with Best Buy! Total waste of time for any preorders lately

Title: A Classic Fighting Game That Paved the Way for the Franchise
Review:
Mortal Kombat 1, released in 1992, is a game that holds a special place in the hearts of both nostalgic gamers and fans of the fighting game genre. It is a true pioneer that introduced unique gameplay mechanics, memorable characters, and a level of violence that pushed the boundaries of gaming at the time.
One of the standout features of Mortal Kombat 1 is the diverse roster of fighters. Each character brought their own distinct fighting style and special moves to the table, making for exciting and varied matches. From the iconic Scorpion and Sub-Zero to the thunderous Raiden and the ruthless Kano, the characters were instantly recognizable and left a lasting impression.
The gameplay mechanics of Mortal Kombat 1 were what set it apart from other fighting games of its time. The introduction of "Fatalities" – brutal finishing moves that allowed players to execute their opponents in gruesome ways – became the game's signature feature. This added an element of shock and awe, captivating players and generating controversy in equal measure.
The graphics, while dated by today's standards, were groundbreaking at the time. The digitized characters, combined with the realistic blood and gore effects, created a visually striking experience. The stages were atmospheric and complemented the intense battles taking place, adding to the overall immersion of the game.
The single-player mode offered a challenging arcade experience, where players would face a series of opponents before reaching the final boss, Shang Tsung. The difficulty level was balanced, providing a satisfying sense of accomplishment when progressing through the game.
However, Mortal Kombat 1 did have its drawbacks. The controls could feel a bit stiff and unresponsive, leading to occasional frustration during intense matches. Additionally, the limited number of moves for each character meant that some fights could become repetitive over time.
Despite these minor flaws, Mortal Kombat 1 remains a classic and an important milestone in the history of fighting games. Its impact on the gaming industry cannot be overstated, as it spawned a long-running and highly successful franchise that continues to captivate gamers to this day.
In conclusion, Mortal Kombat 1 is a game that should be celebrated for its innovation and its role in shaping the fighting game genre. Whether you're a fan of the franchise or simply interested in gaming history, Mortal Kombat 1 is a must-play title that offers a glimpse into the origins of one of the most iconic series in video game history.

I have played MK ever since Super Nintendo. So I have been a huge MK fan. In the last few years I feel like the series was going downhill. They completely revamped this game. I love the story and the side quests. Visually the best MK game hands down. I will say that the gameplay will feel a little slow in the beginning. I was not used to that. Once you get the hang of it and start getting combos in, it will feel a lot faster. Still gets 5 stars in my book.
