When Mortal Kombat first landed in arcades people thought it was amazing. Kids left street fighter cabinets in drove to play the fighting game with blood. 10 years ago when Marvel Vs. Capcom came out kids went crazy again, their favorite comic book characters fighting street fighter characters. this game looks OK, same concept and even an intriguing story. But with all the technology for 3d animation. For the characters to still be moving with the same stiff walks, leg sweeps and repetitious button mashing punches I only played this game for a few hours before I gave up. I saw all the shiny little extras. You can knock people through walls and there are nice mini-games, but if the game itself isn't very good then what does it matter? If you are already a fan of mortal Kombat pick it up but if you aren't then leave it on the shelf.
