Oh, the locations are fantastic and yes, the X-ray moves are also all really great. But anything in a cut scene? Yeeeesh....really pretty damn awful. Certainly not enough to make you not want to go through the story mode, but definitely noticeable.
To be fair; you can't say the models look terrible when you can't properly identify the human liver (in Sub-Zero X-ray). ;P
Susan, I normally enjoy your reviews, but I felt that you covered vary little of the Mortal Kombat shine and more of the little goodies included. At no point did you mention that juggling was back to being important, that X-Rays were a great equalizer and that Tag-team comps actually have a layer of strategy involved.
But really; you kinda poked fun at animalities, frienships and babalities. The latter of which returns, and the former weren't done by the original mortal kombat team or even done recently. It was the 90's, give'em a great. But at the same time; it's that kinda crazy stuff that spawned into the Test Your Luck roulette we have now.
Mortal Kombat lost it's touch with Deadly Alliance (to a lesser degree; 4/Gold) and that era of Mortal Kombat games.
You showed a lot of Trilogy, which while completely unbalanced and awkward in some areas; was a lot of fun and certainly not where MK ketered off.
