Mortal Kombat XL - Xbox One

My number one choice for fight action.

This is a great fighting game. However, it takes several weeks to master the moves. If your a constant Mortal Kombat player it will probably come a lot easier to you, but I have not played this game since it's earlier iterations. Probably MK 3 or 4 was the last version I played, and so much has changed. The graphics in this game are incredible. Nothing like the motion capture stuff that made the original a sensation at the time, but these graphics are beautiful. After a couple of weeks of training mode and single player, I have picked up the moves, kombos, fatalities, etc. I originally got Motral Kombat X, but when I saw Jason, Alien, Leatherface, and Predetor in the update XL, I had to have it. Can't wait to play as those characters. There is a high learning curve, but once you start to get a handle on that the game is a blast. The new Faction mode is fun, and I am now venturing out online to seek opponents, which is kind of new to me, as all I have ever played before is single player modes. Initially, I was getting my butt handed to me (probably by 12 year old kids LOL.). However, now that I am picking up the play mechanics, I have become quite competitive and pretty confident. It's a blast, and addicting as well. Find myself lost for hours picking up the moves. Best fighting game I have played in some time. Give it a shot and don't get frustrated.

I sold my regular version of Mortal Kombat a couple weeks ago because I had preordered this one. I knew right when I heard about this coming out that I would want it. As far as I know, it has all the characters included. I especially wanted Jason Voorhees, Alien, and Predator because I grew up watching all of those movies. I've been playing it for just a few days, but I had been playing the regular version of Mortal Kombat for several months. And I recently played Mortal Kombat like crazy on my 360. The reason why I bring that up is because the Xbox One's Mortal Kombat looks awesome. Some characters look more realistic while others not so much. Overall, the graphics are way better than the 360 - as it should be. But I didn't expect that much of a difference. Game play wise, it's just as fun as it always has been. I'm not the greatest at the games nor do I understand all that much about it, so I guess I should read up about it as it is not as straight forward for me. Anyway, great game. Good graphics. Loading times aren't bad. Oh, when I popped this into my Xbox One, it did have to "update" my Mortal Kombat X to the XL which was about 6gb. Don't plan on playing this game right when you get it - it may take a while.

This doesn't include ALL of the DLC, but a good majority. Some costumes (like the Cosplay pack for Cassie and Jacqui) still have to be purchased separately. While I'm a fan of the original games and story, the story in 2011's Mortal Kombat and now Mortal Kombat X is really entertaining. There's a lot of match options, both online and off, to keep you busy around the story. I just wish there were more classic characters available (a roster like MKU3 would be nice on a modern console).I'm not a fan of the easy-Fatality option. You have to find credits to perform them in the krypt (or you can purchase 5 for $0.99) but if you have credits saved up it's really easy to accidently use them :(

As it is now, I think I'm late to the fighting party with online being a mess. I say get it if you haven't got the chance to play and experience the story or just watch a video to save money and time.

Very well written game one of the best in the franchise would highly recommend

To some degree it goes back to the original 2d formula for Combos, and special moves, fatalities. Brutalities are much simpler. I highly suggest.

Husband loves these games.
