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.

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.

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...

Not yet, I was going to swoop it up after work but I have some web work on the side I need to get done. Will get it tomorrow for sure.

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.

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.

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.

uppercut
"Get over here!"

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.

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.
