This game is by far the best Mortal Kombat game to date, but it is not without its flaws. One of the best parts of the game is the new Konquest Mode. In Konquest you play as Shujinko, a young warrior who is trained by Bo Rai Cho and other kombatants along his journey. This mode plays a little bit like an RPG as you are completing quest after quest and every once and a while doing a side quest. There is a lot of backtracking in this mode, which can get very frustrating, however it is still very fun(and you have to play it to unlock items in the Krypt). There are two other additions to this game, Chess Kombat and Puzzle Kombat. Chess Kombat is extremely fun, you choose a team of kombatants to use on the chess board (Leader, Champion, Sorcerer, Shifter, and Grunt) and then you fight the other team's kombatants. It plays like chess only you have to fight to eliminate the other team! The downside to this mode is the power squares, which make whoever is on the squares nearly impossible to beat (especially on harder difficulty levels). Puzzle kombat is fun to play, just match the colored blocks together! This mode is fun for a while, but the computer can be really hard to beat as you move up the ladder. Of course there is the normal Arcade fighting mode which is fun to play for a while, but konquest will keep you coming back. I covered some of the flaws, but one that was really bothering me was that the game would lock up (not sure if it was my game or XBOX, but the XBOX works fine for every other game) during key parts in Konquest. The best way around this was to save and quit every so often. Overall this is a great game, which if the scale was out of 10, would have 9/10. Buy it!!!Read full review
I grew up with Mortal Kombat, I have been playing this series ever since I was 7, which is why I bought this game, lol. I love all the blood/gore they have added to this game, the konquest mode is awesome, although they could have cut back on all the training things. The puzzle mode is pretty good, was never a really big fan of tetris, lol. The chess kombat is AMAZING, that has to be my most played mode out of all of them. I like how you have to beat me in order to take my piece, a very nice twist, I must say. The special abilities you get in chess is awesome help as well. All in all, I'd have to give this game a 5* rating. It is perfect in my opinion. If you have not yet played this game, I highly advise checking it out, it's definitely worth the money!
The game is definitely an improvement from "Deadly Alliance". Graphics are significantly better. The seams to be less characters but the most popular ones have remained. I felt that because less characters were created, the developers had more time to make each one unique and added appealing characteristics. The players fight and strike at a much slower rate than its predecessors but it is still an improvement because the striking looks natural and real. Overall this is a great game.
I played the newer Mortal Kombat, and I soon fell into a nostalgic trance. This game was my favorite of the series (Other than the originals). It features A LOT of bonus content ranging from hidden characters to minigames. It is a must have for any Mortal Kombat fan.
best conquest mode of any mk game including mk 11
