 - An Exercise in NostalgiaThis is one of the best Mortal Kombat games made. The Konquest mode is vastly improved over Deadly Alliance and the cast of characters certainly brings back memories. The Kreate-a-Fighter would be much cooler if you could create more than one, but other than that, this game is great for fans of the original Mortal Kombat. Rating: - All the Kombat characters finally available to fight with!The biggest plus for this final MK for the X-Box is that you get to choose from all the characters from the previous games. You get to also create your own character after earning some points from the mini RPG game. BUT...It's not perfect. The fatality system is totally revamped into something that lacks the zap of the early games and now each character only has one fighting style to use instead of the two style system from Deception. Still, for a final outing it is a decent conclusion to the series. Rating:  - Well its official, Ed Boon and the game desigenrs suffer from down syndrome.Were these morons tripping on acid when they made this game? This game is piss pore! And I'll give you a hole list of reasons not to buy this game.These are true FACTS! First off. Anyone with a brain stem knows that the game was rushed so Midway can plop out another game for Xbox before switching consoles, so that way they can screw you over just little bit further. Second, the story itself didn't make any sense at all!It has nothing to do with its previous games, although you see "every character" in it. And that brings me to my Third FACT. "Every character", well at least thats what they tell you. NOT like KIA, JAKAATA, TREMMOR, TALSA, and all the Elemental Gods. For those of you who don't know, those were characters in other MK games that turned out to be another flop. And you see fighters doing all these cool moves in the opening trailer, like Shang Tsung's morphing moves that we all loved, is not in it. So its save to say that this game was sold to you under FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! In other words you've been had. Forth, Half of the arenas are strait from MK Deception. Which goes to show you, just how lazy these Bastards really are. [And did you notice that half of MKD arenas was off of MKDA?] Fifth, The krypt is a joke, 80% of it filled with those crappy sketches that looks like a forth grader drew and photos of the retards that made this idiotic game. Thats like showing you the leftover crap that they didn't put in your a hot dog, "while your eating it". And if thats not bad enough, in the krypt you get to unlock all the costumes that you've already seen before in their previous games! Well Whoopdeedo. Sixth, Konquest is nothing like Deception, you can't freelance your way around a map like you used to or time meditate or anything cool like that.Instead they give you 4 lame powers and they are [time freeze] "that only last 5 sec" [fire ball] "yeah real original" [power punch] and [earth quake punch] thats it. You can finish this side game in about 3 hours maybe less. Not only that but you'd think that Konquest will explain it all on how everyone survived in the previous games but it doesn't. Seven, Oh and you can forget about those BIO'S to their not in in the game anymore. No if you want those you have to go online and download it. WTF!? And when you do, they still don't make any sense. You can easily tell that the writers were making this s*** up as they go. Eight, Kreate a Fatality was a good idea, but they should have given you the option to choose between that or new signature fatalities. Nine, If there going to have weapons in the arenas, they should do away with character weapons. What good would it do if Shao Khan has a war hammer and then theres another one in the same arena? And last is that ripoff Mario cart called Motor Kombat. Who drunk the bong water when they came up with this? I can't think of anything more dumber then to merge one of the most greatest, goriest games of all time to a preschool game thats just as entertaining as watching the attention spanned of George Bush. You know that little thing on the conner of the game cartridge? It says rated M for mature. Thats like merging MTV to Sesame Street, hey lets watch Snoop Dog teach Big Bird on how to do crack. It just doesn't work. The only thing I liked about the game was "and this was the ONLY thing" the idea of Kreate a Karacter, they should hold on to that one and improve it like making all kinds of players and have them installed into the profile memory and get to fight your own creations up the latter. But no, they managed to screw that up too. Like only giving you swords or axes. "Wow a lot to choose from there". And MK is just not the same without "test your might/sight". Bottom line, at least rent the game before you do something that your going to regret. Rating:  - PoorPaid for video game but never received it. Very disappointed that there is no way to report items that get paid for but never received. Rating:  - Best Mortal Kombat Ever.They retooled the entire game, added every character ever in the history of MK (even from the forgettable MK4), and made the fatalities usable by those of us who don't want to memorize hundreds of codes. Excellent!
