- justaddwater, on 11/20/2008, -4/+25that actually makes a bit more sense than I thought it would
- foolishwolf, on 11/21/2008, -2/+23raise your hand if you give a *****
it's a fighting game for ***** sake. since when was a story ever a major component? - ccb621, on 11/21/2008, -1/+22Khan!!
(Watch the 4th video.) - withoutamartyr, on 11/20/2008, -2/+21In this story: Gamesradar reveals the story of a game that's been out for a few days
- cyrix, on 11/21/2008, -2/+19Superman is vulnerable to magic which is what the MK universe is based on....so it's not all that improbable I guess.
- cyrix, on 11/21/2008, -1/+13Holy *****.....
- cyrix, on 11/21/2008, -0/+11I just finished that one. Gotta admit I let out a chuckle at hearing the joker utter such a nerdy line. He seemed to have a lot of humorous lines in that whole part too.
- iamsmooth, on 11/21/2008, -0/+10True enough. Take Marvel vs Capcom 2 for instance; considered by many as the BEST fighting game of all time, and it's sans storyline.
- crice, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9That was more than 40 minutes of cutscenes. Strangely, I kinda liked the story.
- cerealjynx, on 11/21/2008, -0/+8It's maaaaaagic ice!
- cyrix, on 11/21/2008, -0/+8Go to hell. You go to hell and you die.
- diggdowner, on 11/21/2008, -1/+8It's LuTHOR not "LuTHER"... aw, nevermind.
- h37s3m, on 11/21/2008, -1/+8why did they make batman such a pussy?
- FreddieD, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6why not?
- punkcat, on 11/21/2008, -1/+7sub zero defeated superman by freezing him? no ***** way.
cherry on top is that wonderwoman then defeats sub zero. honestly, get the ***** out of here. - 1807, on 11/21/2008, -0/+6I enjoyed the storyline.
- Lokomis, on 11/21/2008, -2/+7Is this the story explaining why Superman can freeze Sub-Zero, people still move after "fatalities," and blue explosions lead to bare skeletons laying on the floor? 'Cause I'd love to know what the ***** happened to Mortal Kombat.
Don't get me wrong: The engine has great potential but without the violence it just isn't Mortal Kombat. Nintendo lost sales to Sega by neglecting to have a blood code on their SNES version of Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat games are made with great gameplay and hilarious violence, not one or the other. Midway lost a sale to me by catering to DC and removing virtually all violence save for a bit of blood spatter and squeaky clean skeletons. *****, you can't even watch someone's head ***** to the side during Joker's or Deathstroke's finishers like they'd shown in initial previews. The camera pans to the side as though a bloodless snapping motion of the head cause by a bullet would be any more violent than the various neck/spine snapping fatalities. They're dead either way aren't they? - chad78, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5Mortal Kombat - not Combat.... Where are you from? Do video games exist in your galaxy?
- palehorse864, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5Why so serious?
- MeatMountain, on 11/21/2008, -1/+5This game looks terrible. The fatalities look like they took the leftover ideas from the bloodless Super NES version of MK1. The animation is stiff. The graphics actually look WORSE than the MK4 arcade game.
- amitait, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4lex luther looks exactly like 47 (hitman)
- 2point71, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4The only things i don't like are the girls... Their breasts are ridiculously out of proportion. More disturbing than sexy..
- kriegs, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4So Luthor has become Ironman?
- opticwind, on 11/21/2008, -0/+4Kaaaaan!
- hypnotoad32, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3I didn't digg it up, so I don't think you're a genius. I dugg it down without qualification.
- XxGenjaminxX, on 11/21/2008, -1/+4He's right, but these cinematics basically repel me from buying the game. The voice acting for almost every character is so...wooden. And the lines are ridiculously contrived.
"Another energy anomaly similar to that of Scorpion's frequency? In the heart of Gotham?"
Marvel vs Capcom 2 didn't have a story and it didn't have embarrassing bits either. - acegi, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3phhsh people and their fictional world stories.
- adokimus, on 11/21/2008, -2/+4story's decent... voice acting... err
- cyrix, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Seriously. Why the hell are all the intro lines right before the fight so god damn contrived? I mean it would be better if instead of cinematics it were rendered real time while you circled around each other and they just kinda attacked at random or you were given the chance to attack whenever you wanted.
- TStanNY, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Kind of annoying and or stupid that they keep saying "Fight!" right before they actually fight...
- painting, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2the flash has super speed but not superfast reaction time.
- VinnieDaMac, on 11/21/2008, -1/+3When did Kano become a pirate?
- hibbie, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2You mean there is more to it than just beating the crap out of one another?
- petebot, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2I can’t believe how many people are complaining about the story. Like Mortal Kombat wasn’t campy before? It’s supposed to be a cheesy B-movie type plot.
- MattZed, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Best. Saying. Ever.
- justaddwater, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1joker's scenes were my favorite :)
- painting, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1uhh so how the hell does he move from point A to point B without running into a wall. He just have superfast reaction time to maneuver around when he is going really fast.
- TStanNY, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1The only reason I would have thought of buying this is for the bizarre storyline. After playing it or watching it, it would honestly probably wind up on my shelf to collect dust...
- opticwind, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2Wow, anyone else impressed that the plot wasn't too bad?
- tault, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1The problem with the game isnt the violence but the controls. The controls are so lacking in response its painful. Instead of how the old school games used to be or street fighters game, you are forced to slowly put in the moves in order to execute them. It sucks. I was trying to play as sub zero but its just so painful. I already returned the game, and it gets a fail from me.
- justaddwater, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1absolutely
- eSJayBee, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Good catch. That "red alert" looked familiar but I couldn't place from where. I think it was an intentional homage as in video #4, when Captain Marvel tells everyone that their enemy is "Dark Khan", Joker yells "KHAAAAAANN!!" which would be another reference to Star Trek II.
- mpb337, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1@justaddwater
I concur, at least they TRIED to make it coherent and "mature." - Elranzer, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1No.
- painting, on 11/22/2008, -1/+2lets not forgot that this is a video game and not a documentary.
- Acqua206, on 11/24/2008, -1/+2Wow, all the MK characters got their asses handed to them almost each and every time. Even the Joker kicked some ass.
- Aynatix, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1It was worth it, 52 min.. :P
- TStanNY, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Dugg.
