MORTAL KOMBAT  is my favorute fighting game francise out there yes I think it's better than street fighter ( to me a fatalitty is million times better than a hydukon) and and I have always loved the violent francise it's because of this that we now have video game rateings but any way I always loved the fighting in MORTAL KOMBAT to me it is more tatical than street fighter so the end result is alot more satisfying with street fighter when you win it's like " oh I won what ever" but when you win at MORTAL KOMBAT  your reaction is " fuck yes I win finally" but any way now with the review. MORTAL KOMBAT 9 is the 7th MORTAL KOMBAT game Ive played the other 6 are 2,3, shalon monks, deception, armageddon, and vs DC universe and I have to say this game keeps true to it's roots and also makes it more modern there are 3 main modes story mode is when you go along a set path with the game picking the charicters for you and you have to watch the occasional cut scenes and I have to say the over all story is very campy and fun it is a pretty much a retelling off the story from the first 3 MORTAL KOMBAT games but now you get to see how Jax got his arms and how the two cyborgs were made. The main Game uses the Unreal 3 Engine and it looks pretty good but the boobs look like there made of legos but I love boobs and lego so I have no reason to complain but also the cut scenes also use the Unreal 3 engine so they dont look the best but because of this they translate semelessly into a the main game fights and that is a very good thing if you ask me. now lets talk about the arcade mode in this mode it is classic MORTAL KOMBAT there is no story your just fighting guys for the fuck off it and also once you defeat an opion you go a bit up this ladder until you fight the main boss at the end. Next we will talk about my favorute and the biggest mode to the game the challenge tower you go threw a tower with 300 different challenges and these are realy creative and unique and they help you improve your skills with the main game some of these challenges are defeating a hord of zombies, fighting with out arms and also test your might and dont wory you can save on this mode so you dont have to do it in one sitting. The game has both off and online multiplayer the off line is a shit mode of fun when you are with your freinds your jaws will drop when you see the Noob Sailbots fatallity and you will all giggle when you witness Johnny Cage doing the splitls while praticly fist fucking Mileena in the vag all in wonderful X-ray vision sersioly alot of these fights look like they came straight out of Ricky-OH ! oh and speaking of the fighting the game has an amazing system you can string to gether combos and now it is alot more faster but it still keeps it stratigic style you have to think abit to win a fight oh and the fatalittys are fucking awsome. a new feature to the francise is online mode you can fight one on one in this mode the game runs very smoothly and the other mode is king of the hill in this mode 2 players fight while avater versions of the other players watch in some kind of virtial cinema and also the winner stays on and you get realy nervose when it's your turn to fight and plus you can rate other playes performance this mode works pretty well but you will exsperance some slow down and frame rate drop. this game has a krypt feature where you can unlock extras such as costumes, fatalitys and art work oh and with the PS3 version you get to play as kratos and he doesnt realy control like a MORTAL KOMBAT charicter but he still controls realy well and he has some bad ass moves. so over all I love MORTAL KOMBAT 9 it is my new favorute fighting game and it is worth a definte buy so I can give this  no lower than a 10/10 this game is a deffinant BETTER THAN SEX !http://youtu.be/eH6FuBiQxu4
