The demo has been out for a few weeks now, if you are a Playstation Plus member. I have had plenty of time to sit down with it and work on my own dissection of it. At it's core, Mortal Kombat has never been a strong fighter. The balance issues I mentioned before coupled with weak gameplay has made it only popular due to the gore factor. But the new MK has fixed a lot of those issues. They have devised a much better combo system, the game is faster, and it appears to be very balanced.
They must be doing something right with the newest edition. Evo, THE fighting game tournament, has opened it's doors to Mortal Kombat this year. The newest MK is the first MK to ever be a part of Evo. This means great things for the franchise.
After weeks of play, I decided to go to a friends house the other day and he was playing it there. We jacked the difficulty up to expert, and that's when the flaws started to really come out. Now, I went back and checked with normal and easy difficulties just to make sure I wasn't crazy. On expert, it feels like the game becomes less responsive, and combos are harder to do. This isn't due to the computer being tougher, it just seems when they do open up and the combo is started, it is near impossible to finish. Even using Sub-Zero and trying to freeze the enemy becomes tedious due to the lack of response.
Then the characters, or lack there of, is starting to annoy me. There are plenty, just not much info on them at this time. Although, there was an image leaked out today showing the character select screen. Enjoy!
In the end, I feel the issues I have with it will be addressed, after all, it is just a demo. Looking forward to killing all my friends and having a blast with this game! Sorry the image doesn't fit within the page formatting, working on fixing that.
