Though the game doesn't have the "flow" of other franchises, it allows for multiple openings and breaks in the combat, which is great if you don't like wailing on enemies with reckless abandon. These mechanics are simple in nature, but can be layered and tweaked to create a unique strategy. However, though the story certainly is cool (and is definitely one of the most comprehensive I've seen in a fighting game) the real meat of the game is in its battle system, which I'm happy to say has returned to simpler combo-based mechanics. Enough modifications to the original are made that the story will still be interesting, but Mortal Kombat is still Mortal Kombat, and you'll still get the experience you paid for (don't expect anyone to go flying off in a spaceship or anything). If you are a big fan, though, you'll be able to spot where the alternate reality deviates from the canon, and some of the changes made are actually quite intelligent. If you are new to the series, everything will flow fairly cohesively, and you'll get a pretty cool tournament-based story. The story is fairly expansive, and covers the events of the first three numerical entries. And then it's off to alternate universe land. However, Raiden, being the magical guy that he is, is able to send his past self a premonition about all the bad stuff that is about to transpire. The storyline actually starts you off at the end of the Mortal Kombat story, and it looks like perennial bad guy Shao Khan has actually come out on top and Earthrealm is toast. Mortal Kombat is one of the few games that plays well no matter whether you are a newbie or an experienced franchise player. However, with the release of Mortal Kombat (which is actually the ninth entry in the series, for those of you keeping score) it looks like the franchise is back on track. DC Universe, but that's a story for another day), but so much had changed since the franchise's inception that fans were starting to become disenchanted with Mortal Kombat, and for good reason. Sure, games bearing the Mortal Kombat name still had over-the-top gore (except the horribly tame Mortal Kombat vs. In the midst of all this change, the core experience of Mortal Kombat seemed to have eroded. A traditionally 2D fighter suddenly went to 3D, storylines got muddled up with extraneous characters and universes, and crossovers became the new numerical entry. While I'm all for evolution in a series, Mortal Kombat took this to an extreme, and some strange things started happening. Over the years, as the fighting game genre became more crowded, something weird happened to the Mortal Kombat series.
