Alright, some of these story mode missions are just annoying. Seriously, I have to fight both Goro AND Kintaro at the same time? Really? And now I'm at a set of endurance matches where I have to beat 3 people in a row on a single health bar (with a character I don't particularly like to boot). Overall I like the idea of the story mode, but it could use a little work on some of the execution.

 

Also, just a pet peeve on it is how you play pretty much only as the good guys, which makes the bad guys look completely incompetent. Ermac seemed like a total bad ass when I fought him with Lui Kang in the tournament. He seems like a total loser after beating him ten times. Baraka and Shiva come off as total losers because they do nothing but get their ass beat for the entirety of the story. I mean Noob seems so freakin cool, but he never does anything in the story except get owned. They really need to give some props to the villians in the next story.

Oh buddy, just you wait when you have to face Shao Kahn. That motherfucker is cheap as hell.

I finished the story mode, and I liked it alot. My main is Raiden, although I'm thinking of learning Smoke too cause he is badass. I played some of the challenge tower missions, not bad..time killer for sure. It is too bad that PSN is down, I really wanted to try it online. Overall, truly a great game. I even think it is better than Marvel vs Capcom 3...

Slight story spoilers.

 

The first Shao Kahn fight I didn't think was TOO bad. He kicked my ass the first several times, but after I learned his moves I beat him in 2 matches barely taking a scratch. But I really like Lui Kang, I'm not sure how well this is going to go with Raiden. Is he harder the second time? That's just going to make it worse using Raiden (not my favorite character, Right now I like Kabal, Lui Kang, and Kung Lao), and him being harder.

Over all I like the story mode, it's a thousand times better than the story modes of any other fighting game, I just wish it was balanced a bit better. I really hate the 2 on 1 fights, or the fights against characters that can do over 50% damage and don't get hit stunned.
