If you're talking about the Netherrealms Mortal Kombat, it's by far my favorite part of the game. Hearing reviewers bitch about it being cheesy is idiocy; the reason cheesy is frowned upon is because normally it decreases the value of a story. If the story is made even more entertaining for it, there is no reason is complain about B-rating attributes to it.
Its like this for any normally "bad" writing mechanic. Even cliches can be used to great effect under the right circumstances.
That said, the story is by no means perfect, or even all that great. But it craps on every other fighting game's story out there.
GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.
