Good change of pace

For years Mortal Kombat has always been about two people standing on a level surface and fighting it out until one dies. With different graphics, characters and moves, it has been the same game over and over...until now!
Pros:
A great variation on the platform type game, SM has a fun story and great playable controls. Enemies are fun and somewhat intelligent, which doesn't matter much anyway since lives are unlimited.
The graphics are decent and the moves are easy to master (except for the team moves which my brother and I never could perform). Also since enemies like to surround the player and take turns attacking, having a two player story mode is fun.
Cons:
For being a platform game, there are too many platforms that cannot be jumped off. While this can prevent death in some cases, it also restrains the player to somewhat linear paths; this has an unrealistic appearance and prevents certain shortcuts. Since the story requires the player to traverse some worlds multiple times, shortcuts would be a big plus.
I also wished some of the unlockable characters were available in the story mode.
MKSM is a fun game and I recommend playing it.
