So I’ve been playing Mortal Kombat XL pretty much all weekend. We don’t have it at home but our friends we have been staying with do and it is such a great party game to play with friends.

To quote Stefan, this game has everything. Hardcore violence, hilarity, collectables and

I’ve been playing Mortal Kombat for years, but played 9 the most. There was just something about it. XL picks up from where 9 left off and elevates the gore, combat and graphics to the next level. As NetherRealm games also built Injustice: Gods Among Us, you can see some of the learnings from that experience in MK XL. Mainly more interactive fighting environments and a decent story mode. Yup I said it, the story mode was actually decent. It was really fun to play with all 4 us passing around the remote for every fight and the rubber banding was pretty spot on with the ai.

Of course the main attraction of just 2 player brawls is the key to MK and didn’t dissapoint. There was a bit of a learning curve with all the moves changing from every other previous game (seriously wtf!) and new characters too, but once you play it enough that subsides. I really liked fighting worth Tanya, she reminds me of my previous favourite Skarlet. Milena is also as fun as always to play. I can’t wait to own this for ourselves and get better at it. Now that George and I are on a fairly even playing ground seeing as how all Scorpion’s moves have changed it might make it more fun to play against him :p

Also I meant to post this last night, but I fell asleep hslf way through. My bad.
