Not much for fighter games.

Not my favorite and, years ago, I didn't let my kids play it.

I must have played the original arcade standup for hours and hours with friends. Secret button combos and the fatality finishing moves were groundbreaking. With the introduction of 2 and 3 there got to be, I feel, too many options to really enjoy.

The first couple Mortal Kombat games were great. But the more recent editions have tried to complicate the games too much. Mortal Kombat was great when it was basically a two person button masher. But I don't think it has translated that well to story lines and complicated combos.

It's one of my favorite series, and I still like playing the original, every once in awhile, and unlike the Street Fighter series, the series is abit more easier to follow.

One of my very favorite. It is just so much fun. The characters have this very fascinating background story and the graphics are just amazing. It is not made for kids under 16 or 18.

Very bad series. None of the MKs have even come close to being tourney worthy. Take a series that still encourages turtling, still has dial ins, still has glitches like crazy, still has easy infinites, still lacks real move properties besides damage and speed, still has no priority system (everything trades blows), still has one of the weakest throw systems ever invented, and still is one of the most shallow fighting games...and you have Mortal Kombat.

This series lost it's appeal after awhile but the saga regained my interest after the release of deadly alliance.
