Kool Kombat

I have recently finished the story mode in Mortal Kombat that was released for the XBOX 360 a week ago. I am amazed at how much they have actually improved the franchise and I am satisfied in saying that this has been the most enjoyable beat-em-ups that I have ever played. I found the characters more realistic and ultra-defined with the HD graphics. I found the sound to be superb, and the moves and combos are really a perfected format for a 2D fighter.
The fatalities are also really gruesome, but awesome at the same time. This game has got me hooked!
Also, the fact that it took me 3 hours to beat Shoa Kahn, well shows my patience but also shows that you really do not want to give up on the game once you are playing it. A victory at that stage was well worth the effort. The only downfall with the game is the inability to skip cuts scenes. not a problem when you are watching them for the first time, but if you happen to have had sleep inbetween playing sessions then you may have to sit through a 5 minute cut scene for a second time. Otherwise a fantastic game.

For the beat-em-up category 10/10, for a game overall 8/10. Good job!
