Should have been better, bring back Tobias and there might be hope for the future.

With almost a year and a half for development and this being Midway's third MK on current gen systems, you would think this would be the pinnacle of their work...think again. It started as a great concept, but turned out to be the same recycled B.S. we've come to expect from Boon and his combined group of unoriginal lackeys. Yet, I still purchase what ever they produce like a crack fiend looking for a fix. Thinking each time that it's gonna be better, only to be dissapointed more than the last. All in all, this game could have been worse, yet it still should have been far better. With every character but one, fatalities now performed on boss characters, create-a-fighter, the list goes on and on for what should be outstanding features for this game. If we were told that they had to remove one fighting style from each character due to memory limits I would accept that, but they've not mentioned squat and what combos are left now suck donkey balls. The control seems to be off as well. And lets not forget that the "Kontent" is missing. That was one of the main reasons I liked Deception and DA, you could go back and watch character endings anytime...not to mention they also include pictures of the outcome as well. For $39.95, it's worth it though. It's something to amuse me until Genji 2, Mobile Ops, and Crossfire are released.
