Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate (PS4)

MK11 for me is a mixed bag. This is of course my personal feelings toward the game,so please understand that before reading my review. I am a longtime fan of the Mortal Kombat series,ever since it's original release in 1992. That being said,I have my favorite MK games and not-so favorite MK games. But,right now we are focusing on Mortal Kombat 11. To make this review as simple as possible,I'll list my positives and negatives about MK11,and then give my personal reason why.....here we goPositives:-Amazing Graphics and Animations( I love how NRS has motion scanned each character's face over a real person. This makes MK look real again [a la MK1-MK Trilogy] Unlike,it's previous predecessors from 1997-2015. The facial animations are fantastic!-Great New Fatalities and Brutalities(Mortal Kombat and the guys over at NRS have once again,outdone themselves by bringing us MK fans more gore filled,blood-soaked,gruesome Fatalities and Brutalities)-Outstanding Soundtrack(The music in this game is some of the best from the MK series by far. Just listen to Scorpion's Shirai Ryu Fire Garden stage! God bless the legend himself,Dan Fordan for bringing us another amazing MK soundtrack)-Roster(MK11 brings back a ton of fan favorites,a couple of obscure characters and a few new fighters. That was a grip of mine from MKX. There were way too many new characters in MKX,which mostly sucked. So,bringing back characters like Baraka,Skarlet,Jade,Kabal and Frost,was a real treat indeed!)Negatives:-Required Server (Online) Connection(This may be a nit pick for some,especially since it seems like mostly everyone has an online or Wi-Fi connection within their household,but there are still some people out there [including myself] who don't have the greatest of online connection or doesn't even have an internet connection at all. This is a BIG problem! Considering the fact that you HAVE to be connected to NRS' online servers constantly,to be able to even access the krypt,towers of time or even save your unlocked gear pieces,time crystals,soul fragments,hearts or koins,while playing offline. This is just completely unacceptable! Especially considering that Injustice 2's Multiverse,was available both online AND offline. You could also save your gear pieces,skins,currency and source crystals offline as well. Even though,the Towers of Time are timed events,so was the Multiverse in "Injustice 2". Even the Krypt was accessible in MKX without an online connection! This is just uncalled for! Only playable modes you have in offline for MK11 are,single fights,practice,story mode,klassic towers [traditional standard MK arcade ladders],training and Fatality practice. You'll acquire absolutely NO type of in-game currency while offline,whatsoever! This hurts MK11 in a HUGE WAY!)-GameplayI know not everyone will agree with me,but I personally preferred the fast paced and "up in your face" type of gameplay,which MKX had,compared to MK11's toned down slower fighting pace.-Limited Customization(For a game which advertised "kustomization" as one of it's main selling points,it's completely and totally lackluster and dull in comparison to [once again] "Injustice 2". Each gear piece in MK11 has little to no affect on your character,and is limited to only a few items [Scorpion's spear,Baraka's blades,Sub-Zero's mask,Kabal's hook swords,ect.] There are also cosmetics which you can unlock for each character,but they are really nothing more than a different color skin. The character intro and outro customization is fine,but once again,very limited with only a few options per character. There are also special moves customization as well. Which is fine and basically assigns your own little particular variation for your favorite character,but unfortunately,the limitation of special moves makes this feature become stale and boring pretty quickly)

We had played earlier versions of mortal kombat and have been big fans of the game over the years.We treated ourselves to this game recently and were pleasantly surprised at how playable and entertaining it is. There are a lot of characters to choose from, terrific moves, awesome graphics.

Good game, hours of entertainment but they labelled the discs wrongly. The play disc is the data disc and data disc is the play disc.It's a good price for the amount of content offered (the DLC's are all on the disc) - especially since I was stuck on what to buy for Christmas.

Good game with a good price

This game is amazing. It carries a age restriction of 18 which is warranted as the violence has been upped a notch with the realistic 4k death moves. DO NOT Let youngsters play this game. I found my jaw drop on several occasions because of the violence.That being said, the game is excellent and those of us who are old enough will enjoy the fluidity of the game play and the jaw dropping graphics.

I have been a fan of the series for years and this game does not disappoint. This version with both sets of added characters included for just over €30 delivered was a pretty good deal.Good value for money plenty of hours of enjoyment and have yet to play it online.

Great product

YOU WEAK, PATHETIC FOOL!Yes...It works on PS4 and comes wity the PS5 upgrade. You can indiscriminately, and violently, beat seven shades of smelly stuff out of your best friends with no police visit too.Toasty!!!
