mortal kombat on next gen woow really is going to be some game looking forward to for them mk fans, graphics gunna be great game play and very brutal finish him :}

Mortal Kombat X has tons of polish, unique mechanics, and the genre's best story mode, but it doesn't do enough to keep players invested if they weren't already planning on it.

Variation system adds a ton of depth; Slick presentation and solid; speedy fighting mechanics; Story mode is a blast to play

Next to no guidance for how to properly play each variation; Sparse single-player content once you've finished the story

Goro is prominently used in game modes as an A.I. character, but he isn't included as a part of the base game. He's on the character select screen, but this serves only as a tease for the premium DLC.

Mortal Kombat X offers everything a fan could ask from except possibly their favorite character. The graphics and animations received a huge boost thanks to the power of the new consoles, and while not perfect, the net code is vastly improved over previous NetherRealm fighting games.

There's so much content here, with Mortal Kombat X doing a great job of offering an accessible and challenging fighting experience for a genre novice. It's not ground-breaking, but it services the audience while offering enough fresh and varied content and characters to entice newcomers to the fold.

+ Iconic brutality; + Dynamic modes; variety & content; + Slick; tight gameplay; + "Good vs evil" story is laughably good

- Textures lose pizazz in transition from cutscene to battle; - "Good vs evil" story is laughably bad; - Quicktime events

The best new Mortal Kombat for years, with a fighting game experience that's as generous with the content as it is with the gore.

The OTT violence is gloriously varied and just tongue-in-cheek enough not to offend; Varied characters and disciplines, with plenty of game modes; Story mode and Krypt are especially good

The combat is still simplistic by fighting game standards and there are still almost no genuinely new ideas; Some ugly character art and a lack of explanation for different disciplines

Exciting action, intense finish. Even if there is no regret buying

Mortal Kombat X is set to be 2015's fighting game of the year, with its robust story mode, immense character variation and tons of content.

Mortal Kombat has always been utterly bonkers, but if you'd told me in 1992 that I'd be performing quick-time event fights during cut-scenes of the story mode of MK, it'd have probably blown my young

Fast; smooth combat; Nicest visuals to date; Superb solo campaign

In-game purchases are in your face; Online isn't perfect; and is region locked on PS4; Fatalities may go too far for some

The future of fighting games is here.
