First Impressions:
Cons--- No Jonny Cage nut punch! What's up with this.
The tradional Hit or miss with the faltalitys. Some of the people that came up with these should have Scoprpion Spear them. Shang Sun can't morph..or at least i cannot figure out how. No tradional uppercut. everyone has juggler moves, but none with that impact the old good uppercut has.
Pros-it feels like a mortal kombat game. And what I meen by this is that a lot of times when a 2D game is moved into a 3D world the came is very different (ie street fighter ex series) or just plain sucks (and 3D figners from SNK, I'm talking to you Samuri Showdown 3D!). Scorpion-need I say more. The combat stlyes. Each cahracter has 3 fighting styles that they can switch between in combat and in combos. the 3rd is a weapon style. First off all the martial arts are real, and motion caprured from real experts in the style (several were flown in from china, such as the shaolin stlye). This add the relaism to MK series it needs in this new 3D world. And no finaly all the characters have different regular moves! And finaly how well the super moves work in the 3d world. The fireballs and the such work rely well and in the game it is easier than most other 3D fighters to dodge and walk around the screen.
This is defnatly a good game. I;m glad I picked it up.
