The Official Mortal Kombat Preview Thread

[Chicago1989]

I'm back with a new thread and back with a thread about a subject I'm very excited about, as I'm sure most of you are as well. Mortal Kombat is only a short 10 days away from release and man, I'm pumped!. I already pre-ordered my copy for the PS3 and I also plan to be at the midnight release event at my local GameStop to hopefully participate in a tournament as well. This game is one of the most anticipated games of 2011 and I am sure that it will probably sell out.

Portal 2 is also out on the same day, which causes some competition for both highly anticipated games. I'm gonna deliver ALL the info from Mortal Kombat for you and you can tell me anything, from how excited you are, your pre-order details, immediate plans with the game, etc. Here you go:

Just a small clarification; I forgot to add a new feature that is going to be included in the game and that's the "Challenge Ladder Mode". It's where you try to pass special challenges that require you to do certain things, like fighting up-side down in one fight. Details about this feature were very small, so it's easy to forget. My fault...

Man i was so pumped for this game. I was like finally Mortal Kombat rebooted, they're finally listening to the fans. This is a modern trilogy so to speak what we want faster, gorier gameplay a return to Mortal Kombat roots. I had an amazing amount of anticipation for this game until it was banned in Australia thanks to our ******ed classification laws. Really sucks. But it looks so amazing i can't resist not buying it from ebay. hehe.

Not trying to knock on you or anything, but it must suck being from Australia right now because of the banning of Mortal Kombat. It's really unfortunate that you guys wouldn't really be able to enjoy this game legally. But if you plan on going with eBay, then be careful. I heard there's a fine if you're caught playing Mortal Kombat if you're from Australia..

I'm immensely excited for this game. I've played the demo on PSN and have watched numerous of gameplay and feature videos on IGN. This really does look like a worthy reboot of the series. If it ends up excelling from the demo in any way (gameplay or new features/re introduced features wise) it will very well be a legendary fighting game.

Nah dude no offence taken, i feel sorry for my self. Our classification laws on video games are really messed up and do not really cater to the more adult gamers so to speak. But i was really looking forward to this as i am a huge mortal kombat fan.

I ACTUALLY CANNOT WAIT. Been a big fan of MK for quite some time and wow I played this game on the PS3, although I prefer the xbox for fighting games, and I must say it is quite impressive. I am disappointed there is no xbox exclusive unless they haven't announced it, but oh well. Still can't wait too kick butt as Sub Zero once again
