I don't know why, but Mortal Kombat has just lost all its charm on me.  It was awesome in the 2D days when it was like a bad B movie and didn't take itself too seriously but now it's trying to be too realistic and it's just not as cool.


I think it's still pretty awesome. It still plays like a 2D fighter. I'm just really glad that I'll have another good fighter to play besides SSFIV. MvC3 was a fun game but, all of it's redonkulous balance issues got a little frustrating after a while.

The Tower/Challenge thing that they're adding sounds great - it's pretty rare that a good figher actually has some good replayability outside of learning the game's mechanics.

I don't think it's trying to be too realistic or serious - what other diretion would they go in? A cel-shading/cartoon'ish look like SSFIV? That'd destroy the game's style. It's been so many years since we've had a new MK and it should be expected that the graphics would improve by alot. The game is improving in all areas.

I actually have no idea how it plays, I'm just commenting on the look of the game.  I know it's weird to say it's too realistic when the original did the photo-sprite thing, but something about it just seems off and it's missing the charm that the originals had.
