Feels like the old MK days again!!

Ok..so MK has proved me wrong. After having my doubts about the returning MK franchise and all the semi-ok last MK games released, I have to say this one is EXCELLENT. First thing I want to point out is the Story mode. I love how the game starts off with chapters dealing with each character separately. It really told the story of MK (if anyone forgot) all the way from MK1-MK3 with slight few additions and twist. The c(k)ombat is awesome, brutal, fun, and just plain addictive. X-ray specials, tag specials, enhanced moves, oh its just so much to talk about for this MK!!! They really made it feel like the oldschool days even with the test your might, sight, strike, they even have the fun codes to put in at the vs screen. The graphics are surperb, giving MK fans updated environments from the classics MK's, and they all look great. There also lots of things to unlock, which I havent touched the surface of doing. This game has great replay value and well worth the $50-$60. On another note, I feel like Boon and Tobias are going for the controvesial spotlight with the gruesome fatalitys that they were known for back in the day. Even though most games are very violent nowadays, I got the feeling while playing this MK, that this game will most likely end up on the news for youngins playing such a "violent" game. However I suggest that if you are a MK fan and have been playing since day one, dont hesistate on this one. GO GET IT!!!
P.S. : I found my self repeated "You gotta get this game" in all my xbox live parties while playing the game, so sorry to all my xbox live friends if I annoyed you. :P (thats how good this one is).
