Oh doctor, this one better be dope.

I liked the last one, Deception. Was way better than that turd Deadly Alliance (which I bought for $20 bucks after I was done with Deception and played it once.)

Anyway, there are 60 fighters on this one. The Konquest mode is back. There is also a lame looking kart game. But what's really dope is the create a player and create a fatality mode. Now that's what I am talking about.

Here is who's available:

Ashrah, Baraka, Blaze, Bo' Rai Cho, Chameleon, Cyrax, Daegon, Dairou, Darrius, Drahmin, Ermac, Frost, Fujin, Goro, Havik, Hotaru, Hsu Hao, Jade, Jarek, Jax, Johnny Cage, Kabal, Kai, Kano, Kenshi, Kintaro, Kira, Kitana, Kobra, Kung Lao, Li Mei, Liu Kang, Mavado, Meat, Mileena, Mokap, Moloch, Motaro, Nightwolf, Nitara, Noob Saibot, Onaga, Quan Chi, Raiden, Rain, Reiko, Reptile, Sareena, Scorpion, Sektor, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Sheeva, Shinnok, Shujinko, Sindel, Smoke, Sonya, Stryker, Sub-Zero, Tanya, and Taven.

-HECK!

I am totally going to buy this game when it comes out, no doubt.

Right off the bat though I know there are some players I will not use. They are totally useless. For starts, there's Mokap and Meat. Frost is just a chick version of Sub Zero. Smoke, Sektor and Cyrax are all to similar.

I read a so-so review that says all the characters are kind of alike. There are two fighting styles per person, the last game four I believe. Still, it looks dope.

-HECK!

Onaga is really huge and a tard. The former bosses usually don't work well as players.

I bet the same ol' go-to players will be dope, but that's still about a dozen kick ass characters.

Shujinko, Darrius, Kira and Kobra were cool from the last game, played them a lot too.

-HECK!

I might get this one too, Heck! At least it looks good.

Hells yeah. I kind of want to get that online deal so I can lay the smackdown to people across the world, but the PS3 is coming out next year sometime. It will still be a while before I get it of course, but I might as well wait.

I've had my PS2 for a while now, I love that thing.

-HECK!

Yeah, I don't know if I will upgrade. If I do... it will probably be awhile. It would be fun to have a party and play a bunch of games together. Get a group for this, and have a blast.

Totally. I'll ride out my PS2 as long as she'll keep on keepin' on.

This Armageddon deal looks dope. I wonder if it's at Circuit City yet... if so, I know where I am going after work.

Can't play it tonight though, softball, dangit.

-HECK!

Yeppers... Circuit City has it up on their site, for $39.99
Guess that you will have to play it after softball. But, it's there.

$39? Hells yeah, I am there like swimwear.

-HECK!

I'm looking at Gamestop.com, because I like purchasing from them. They have more than just Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. They also have:

That's sweet. The cell would be *****in'. I can't wait though, I'm an impulsive buyer. If I wait I won't buy it ever.

-HECK!

Weird, Circuit City says it's available tomorrow. Best Buy says they have it today...

Either way, I am gonna rock this deal. Not going to get the cheat codes this time. Going to do it the hard way

-HECK!

Looks not bad, I may get it, but I've got a butt load of games to play already... so I can hold off. Mortal Kombat is always sweet though.

I hear you. I have like three games I've never played. I even buy more and play them first. A few I've played once and shelved. Not that I didn't like them, just spaced. Like the newer GTA. Liked that game. I am weird.

-HECK!

I got Just Cause and Scarface - both are GTA like and highly addictive.

Just Cause especially kicks ass because it's not really that difficult, and you can like ride cars off cliffs and release a parachute, then use a grapling hook to hook onto cars and let them drag you along. Sweet juice.

Oh, not to forget Lego Star Wars II which kicks a similar amount of ass as the original did.

I heard the Lego SW deal was tight.

I will swoop up MK:A today for sure. It's not insanely priced, I can deal with it.

Just hope the create a character feature worth it.

-HECK!

It'll probably just be the same as the feature they had on the Smackdown games before (not sure if they still have it in the newer games). You've got a bunch of options to choose your appearance (probably including species, colour and all that kind of crap), and perhaps you can choose some powers from those of the games characters.

I'll check it out, but I'm not into buying PS2 games anymore, so I'll have to see if there's an Xbox version.

Well, did you go and get it, Heck? Whatcha think?

Woo hoo! It is available on Xbox. Just not available on Xbox in Taiwan.... ermm... yet


Well, most people are giving it around a 7... you know, I usually don't expect anything more from this kind of one-on-one beat-em-up kind of game, though. Konquest mode is always kind of dull and repetitive too. Hopefully it's better this time around.

Here's the character select screen:

Seems like there're plenty of people to choose. I just know I'll stick to Liu Kang though...

This game is dope, yo.

I heard the Konquest mode was better in this one than Deception. Also there is a cart race game, too. Gimmicky but could be alright.

I have a feeling I will only use a few characters myself. Some of them are just too hard to master and suck anyway.

-HECK!

Every back in the day when there was only like 6 charcters I'd pick Liu Kang

Forward-forward-punch
Forward-forward-kick

freakin' easy to remember. I forget what his fatality was though.

His normal moves are still the same.

It's the new characters that are all nuts.

But this game you can play just the original guys which is cool.

Some of the newer guys are alright but there are so many lame ones.

Meat and Mokap are freakin' lame sauce.

-HECK!

I always hate the bigger, chunkier characters. They rarely do anything. They're like impossible to kill when you're fighting them, and impossible to use when you're using them. I'm like 'what the hell?'

Scorpian is always cool though.

"Get over here!"
uppercut
"Get over here!"
uppercut
"Get over here!"
uppercut

Cheeser moves. I remember back in the day playing MK1 kids would do that. Fights would almost break out.

I prefer the Sub-Zero freeze and uppercut, thanks. Oh, in MK2 they gave Sub-Zero this floor ice freeze that would make you slip around. I nearly perfected the freeze, uppercut, floor freeze, uppercut, freeze, repeat move. It was glorious.

-HECK!

I normally was Raiden because he did that thing where he threw himeslf at his opponant and surrounded himself with lightning, I never remember the name of the move. You could do that again and again and beat you opponant easily.

Then again I always was fond of that guy with the metal hat, Kung Lau or something like that. Oh and Kabul

I could never do any of the Fatalities, freindships, animalities or Babalities though. Never worked out how to do that.

I think I will pass on getting the game. I'll just get annoyed with it and annoy the people down stairs by swaring at the TV and the game and the characters and bang on the floor and get wound up generally speaking.

Part of the fun however is to come back after a while, beat the bit you couldn't do and enjoy the feeling of sucess.
