Perfect MK. Way better in any way than MK1

Sufficiently fun to kill some time and play with another person. Great visuals, sounds, smooth gameplay. However, not very suitable for casual players as the controls are pretty complicated and that kills some of the enthusiasm. Story is weird and boring, probably because I know nothing about MK's lore.

One of the most enjoyable MK's out there, and even has ultra widescreen support unlike the previous games which is already a nice step up for me. Overall the game feels a lot less grindy than similar fighting games or even MK X, it's predecessor. This was just a cherry on top of the whole game feeling just right.

The story as per usual is cutscences with fight sequences in between. It's okay but nothing special, unlucky the previous games Raiden story wasn't the top priority or at least it didn't feel that way up until near the end where the game had an alright ending.

The combat itself just feel more flawless than the previous iteration of the game with everything from Krushing Blows to mastering combos feeling good, apart from maybe the Fatal Blow that really favours the losing player, but at least it's only a once per match use so can only win 1 round for the player with a bit of a skill-less ability,
