Mortal Kombat

I played the story mode at a friend's house tonight, and I really enjoyed it a lot! First, it's an interesting story to me haha and I want to know what happens next. I stopped at the Sub-Zero fight in the Outland Arena.

Man, I did not buy the game when it was just $40 bucks! It's $50 right now, which is not bad for a new game. Better than $60 at least. Now, should I wait to get it or just buy it before the price goes up again.

It seems there is a lot of content to keep a person busy. I read the story mode is at least 7+ hours. Is that true, Martyros? You have played it 5 times and stuff. I wish more fighting games had this type of story content. It would be epic to see Street Fighter follow MK's lead.

I am using Raiden now and I don't know his moves well so I need to practice more. :)

The 300 level tower sounds like 'Marquis de Sade' as some of the ones even before 50 were utterly incomprehensible (battling upside-down? WTF!). I am around 60 now. Does doing all that just for a flesh pit costume make it worse? LOL

As for the 'bad' things about it: 1) The price is $10 higher in Canada @ $69.99 everywhere. 2) It needs an online pass to play, which is the ultimate F-U to gamers. AKA another $10 cash grab. 3) The XBOX controller is quite poor for fighting games. 4) The "instruction book" is only a cover. Cheap!

What i've seen from publishers that require online passes are that they're free for people that buy the game. It was a cash grab against those that rent games instead of buying them. Is that how MK is setup?
