"Mortal Kombat" in 2D, who knew it'd be such a relief? Fighting games just work better in 2D, (playing field, not graphics), and thanks to the changes not only in perspective, but gameplay, well... it feels like the old "Mortal Kombat" of yore, and that's a very good thing.

Fast and fun; making "Mortal Kombat" 2D saved this franchise; I loved Darth Vader in "Soul Calibur 4," but playing Kratos in MK is sublime; The story mode is as fun as the old movies; "Mortal Kombat's" special moves and combos are easier to pull off than most games; If you can afford it; the...

No skipping nor pausing cutscenes is a drag; "Mortal Kombat" simply isn't as refined as some of the Capcom fighters; "Mortal Kombat's" controls seem to work better with a fighting stick than the DualShock 3; No skipping nor pausing cutscenes is a drag; "Mortal Kombat" simply isn't as refined as some...

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition was originally banned in Australian due to the excessive graphic violence of this fighter. Back then, Australia didn't have an R18+ rating but now, the game has finally been released and even though it is slightly dated, it's still one impressive fighter.

The Komplete Edition is a compelling release, especially for those who held off on purchasing Mortal Kombat to this point.

As a gamer, nothing makes me happier than to see old franchises getting revived either in the form of remakes, updates, or all new games that are infused with their old-school heritage. This generation has, so far, been about that.

I purchased this for my teenagers and they enjoy it. There are a multitude of characters to choose from and many different moves a character can do.
