This review is from: Mortal Kombat X – Xbox One (Video Game)
I was a big fan of the Mortal Kombat reboot. So much so, that I actually felt the need to unlock everything in the Krypt. I thought the graphics were awesome and the ways by which I could dismember my foes was entertainment beyond belief. The game play of Mortal Kombat X isnt its major issue. Its the lack of content, less than optimal graphics and poor in-game economy.
The graphics are servicable, but definitely not up to par with next-gen standards. Theres a decent amount of fighters but its a joke to think Netherrealm is charging 5 bucks per character(30 dollars for a kombat pack with all the upcoming dlc). Im not going to go into major detail, but I WILL say the whole game feel stripped down based on what was offered with last generations Mortal Kombat reboot. There arent as many levels, there isnt a challenge tower to complete(although there ARE still many arcade-like towers to choose from with many different modiferes which is cool), babalities are gone and the online faction mode seems lacking in depth. And now onto my biggest problem with the game: The in-game economy. The way you earn coins is fairly typical. You gain a small amount by either performing combos or completing matches. The most common way to earn coins is to play story mode or complete faction war towers(regular towers with random modifiers against competing factions). The problem is, the coins you earn are basically pennies compared to the amount you will actually need to purchase a decent amount of stuff from the krypt. The krypt is actually very deep and well crafted. Exploring is an absolute blast, if only it didnt take hours of grinding just to get enough coins to unlock a few measly items. Nether realm gives you the option to spend 20 bucks and unlock everything in the krypt which just further proves my point as to how they are going about content in this game. If you love mortal kombat, this game is alot of fun. Its got a fairly lengthy story and excellent fatalities and krypt, but if your planning on it having the lasting value that the reboot did last generation, you most likely will be just as dissapointed as I was

 Very Good, Does Not Disappoint,
This review is from: Mortal Kombat X – Xbox One (Video Game)
This game exceeded my expectations. Negative feedback from hardcore MK fans made me hesitate to jump in line for MK X. However, I’m glad I went ahead and bought it.
GRAPHICS 10/10: The graphics are awesome. For some reason, I expected it to be just a repackaged version of MK9. But I was wrong: MK X is a next-gen game, at least graphically. Even little things, like enhancements to the animations of Raiden’s lightning and Subzero’s ice, is noticeably better. The arenas are really great. I also like the interactive environments in certain maps. FIGHTING 10/10: What more can I say? This is a Mortal Kombat game. The fighting has been impeccable since the beginning. I have no complaints about it. The characters are responsive, no glitches. As usual, the combo attacks and special moves are cool as hell. There’s really nothing to add. STORY/ACTING 9/10: This game takes place in the future (Johnny Cage has grey hair). It’s interesting to pick up at this point in the characters lives. I like playing new characters and others not available in MK9. The storyline is as good as can be expected. In typical Mortal Kombat fashion, you sort of need some prior experience with Mortal Kombat to understand everything. But most players will get the gist. My general assessment of this game is this: if you want a fighting game, you won’t find one better. A couple characters are missing (Goro and Baraka, mainly), but this didn’t upset me much. I’m satisfied with the selection as it stands. If you’re a casual MK player, I think you’ll be very happy with your purchase.

Incredible! MK9 was amazing, but MKX not only improved the graphics and fighting system but blew the last one out of the water. Great fighting game. If you are a Mortal Kombat fan, you cannot miss this one.
