Challenge Tower Video + A Hands-On Preview

Post by Gambid »

IGN just published a very interesting exclusive Mortal Kombat 2011 video, that focuses on the Challenge Tower game mode. There are a lot of things in this video that you will really want to see:

On a different news, a short and very positive Mortal Kombat 2011 Hands On appeared on GamrReview:
The feeling of playing the new Mortal Kombat is very similar to the feeling I had when first playing Street Fighter IV. It was like I'd travel back in time with a slightly different controller in my hands, and yet there were high-definition graphics before me. Mortal Kombat looks like a very new, very polished fighting game but still plays just like the older Mortal Kombats. The uppercuts, the strange and unnaturally posed flying punches, and the tight-balled flipping jumps harken back to a different time.

I was able to step into the new Mortal Kombat and immediately freeze my enemies with Sub-Zero. I was able to make opponents "get over here" just like I used to with Scorpion. The new Mortal Kombat welcomed me into its bloody, violent bosom like a long lost loved one.

This isn't just a re-hashing of old games, though. While most moves are straight from the older games, the combo system is more robust and the x-ray system that's been shown in screenshots is the reward for great combos. One thing that really jumped out at me is the persistent damage. Throughout the match, the characters will show damage that never goes away. Costumes and masks rip, gashes open up, and blood flows all throughout the match even into victory poses.
Thanks to our visitor Darkness Rain for the heads-up on this story.

Loved the challenge tower. It gets a little too wacky on some parts, but still... looks like a blast. Besides we get to see klassic Scorpion and Sub, robot Smoke and Baraka confirmations, and Stryker in motion.

Goro looks too short tho...

Not to forget the Test Your .... Mini games.

I only hope that once the challenge is passed they will be unlocked for a direct access. That would really be great. Test Your Might looks amazing. Not entirely sure of Test Your Sight's look, but still, these are great additions.

The slot type of thing is great too, kind of reminds me of the old MK3/UMK3/MKT days :) with the versus codes :)

And we got confirmation for Baraka and Robot Smoke, this was one nice wednesday.

I cannot think of one reason to not buy this game! I would pay an extra $20 for the challenge tower but they are giving it to us for free. I haven't said it yet but this looks like it could be the best MK game so far.

Yep, it sure looks promising. Even if it does not become the best Mortal Kombat ever, it will definitely be the best since Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was a bad game, not at all. I too loved the impale move and felt bad that they removed it.

they probably removed it for those people that just impale then just move around to not get hit.
hated when my cousin did that.
then he choose quan chi and i beat him in 9 seconds. he got so mad he chucked my ps3 out the window wich in turn, smashed his car winshield( :twisted: )

but i still can't wait for this to come out.

This is a strategy too.

It sounds like your cousin has some anger management problems.
