Mortal Kombat Preview

Test your might once again...

Almost every gamer knows about Mortal Kombat, because it has been everywhere.  Arcades, PS1, PS2, and PS3 have already experienced Mortal Kombat titles.  They are well recognized as some of the best fighting games ever.

This is the first stand alone Mortal Kombat game to come to the PS3.  There was Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, but that was a collaboration for the most part.  Other than MK vs DC this upcoming title (without a sub-title) will have the most updated graphics and moves.

The Roster
Some of the already revealed characters were probably obvious.  Here is a list of revealed characters:

• Raiden
• Reptile
• Sub-Zero
• Johnny Cage
• Nightwolf

There will be 26 characters.

For anyone wondering if Mortal Kombat will feature new material, let me say this: Yes, and no.

For the most part the game is just going to be re-vamped.  However, NetherRealm Studios is trying to make the game have new/unique combos that you actually create, rather than looking at a moves list.  It will be very similar to previous titles because this title will be in 2D.

If you are a fan of past MK games then this is would be a pretty safe buy.  Mortal Kombat is guaranteed to be bloodier and more kick-ass then ever.
