I got it yesterday it is far from it blows.(small review from about 4 hours into the game.)
I haven't figured out the create a fatality system yet but im working on it, honestly i think remembering 1 string of button combinations is easier then remembering unique button combos to each char.
The konquest mode is awesome plain and simple, the monolith challenges get so fricken hard, and through some trial and error you can see you have to run through konquest again, tho im not sure if you keep your powers or life guage, but so far im loving it.
Square is punch,triangle is uppercut,x is kick, and o is grab, combining the attacks together make powerful combos.
He also get 4 magic attacks, timestop,fireball,groundpound,and evasion.
The konquest mode i played for about 3 hours currently i am at a demon spire in the netherealm, the story is great follows the MK story line quite nicely.
The kombat mode, the mode everyone is curious about no?
The one thing i have with a beef with this mode is, unless you are a pro at deception, and this applies to konquest mode as well, then go to practice first, as it throws you directly into the fray with a parrying, combo breaking, sidestepping fatality using computer, the only training option is practice, it is quite useful tho.
Kreate a fighter, Best idea MK ever came up with, you customize their look, and remember how they said your imagination is the limit? They weren't joking, i spent over 30 minutes customizing my fighter, then had to go back and spend another hour doing so and am still not done. You customize his skin/armor/cloth colors, you can give him shoa-kan's hands, barakas blades, scorpions spears, subzeros cryohands, the sky is the limit.
You can customize their fighting style, this is where i think ign screwed up, as when you choose a fighting style preset, it auto picks for you how your attacks go, however if you pick none, you pick all 30 to 33 of your combos to each of your fighting styles.
So you pick what goes into square, if you don't want square as a punch button change it!
If you don't want punches at all don't put em in!
The customizing mode is just completly awesome.
Motor kombat...GAAAAAAYYYY, nuff said lol.
I haven't gotten to into the game yet, but so far the only beef i have with it is no training, other then that the game is what i expected it to be, totally awesome.
If you do not want to know the fatalities then do not highlight please.
