Mortal Kombat Legacy

I'm a huge fan of Mortal Kombat.  I grew up playing these games, and I absolutely love the newest game, simply titled Mortal Kombat.  The game itself offers longtime fans of the series a great return to its roots.  All of the most memorable characters are there, all the great stages make a return, and the game is packed with tonnes of Easter eggs.  New players to the series can appreciate the fighting system that has been refined in this game, and will not feel out of place amongst older fans of the series.  Along with a revival of the game series, there is also a revival of the film franchise.  Mortal Kombat Legacy is a gritty re-imagining of the series' deep mythos, made to fit into more modern times.  The liberties that are taken with this series are all very interesting, and fit really well into this new world that is being created to house such diverse characters.  All the palette swap ninjas come to life in this series, along with other fan favorites.  Here is the trailer that spawned the web series; if you like this you should definitely check out the series here.

  2. @David.Ritz-Yeah, I completely understand. It's not nearly as technical or tourney friendly as Street Fighter is, but it's a cool game to just play with a bunch of bros.

  11. I have seen the trailer's plot since the beginning. It has gotten totally different. I was wondering what would happen if it has followed that trailer.

  14. I like the realism angle they are going with. I too was a big fan of Mortal Kombat as a kid. I remember how excited I was to get it for SNES. Don't think I've felt that much happiness in some time.
