i honestly expected more brutal gameplay not flashing light things...

the lightning (green/blue sparks and all) make the game very cartoony IMO which is what i didn't like with the 3D MKs

That green thing is a move Johnny Cage has had since the super nintendo ones.

i'm talking about the lightning effects not the moves.

Flawless victory.

I hope there is more blood than that. Also, I hope as the matches progress, the damage actually appears on the characters faces like in MK: Deadly Alliance.

Warner Brothers is publishing this?... Shame

Okay

That looks sweet as Hell.

is it just me or are the movement animation really weird looking, and where's the blood??

I actually won't mind if they change the visual style and sav the blood primarily for Fatalities. Blood in the tradition of the old Mortal Kombats is immensely stupid-looking, and saving it for Fatalities would make it much more affecting.
