Looking back at.....Mortal Kombat!
How can you talk about Street Fighter without mentioning Mortal Kombat? Well here it is, another legendary fighting game from the past. I guess if you didn´t like Street Fighter but you do like fighting games then Mortal Kombat was most likely one of your favourite games. You could have many reasons for that but the main reason for a lot of people is the fatality!
Do you remember the first time you played Mortal Kombat and you just beat your first opponent and then out of nowhere you saw the text finish him appear on scream and said by a menacing voice? At first I had no idea what to do, so I´d usually just uppercut the guy (or girl if it was Sonya). Then I heard about fatalities, which looked cool but for me are usually frustrating to do that quickly and without mistakes. But if you succeed you get a brutal animation how your character rips the other character apart or does something else that is completely over the top!
Does this also count for the female character? Yes you can also brutally murder Sonya and for some this was unacceptable, complaints about violence to women would sometimes rise up and also the complaints from parents that this game is too violent for kids. Guess what parents, you let them play that so maybe you shouldn´t let them play if you think the game is bad for them! I never had those issues from my parents but then again they hardly ever bothered learning anything about games or what kind of games I´m exactly playing.
My favourite character was Raiden, he looks cool and has some easy moves that can help you win a lot of battles. But Sub-Zero is also cool, no pun intended! Once again you started in the first game with just a few character but it has now grown out to a small army of characters, even bosses in some Mortal Kombat games became playable characters in other Mortal Kombat games. But also the crossover with DC character gave you the chance to beat up some heroes or bring some justice into the realm of Mortal Kombat. I must admit that the classics are usually the best when it comes to these type of games, the controls and graphics might be less comfortable but the feeling you get to be back into that classic game is just beyond words.
