Played last night with a bunch of people. It was a blast! We had a lot of fun. The level of co-op in the game is really cool and surprised me. The game has great impact and is pretty consistent across. Lots of nostalgia.
I liked a lot of the touches. Faster fighting on a 2d plane in a game that doesn't have little red riding hood in it made me VERY happy. It makes me want (like I always have) another Killer Instinct. Noob is awesome. Sektor is still a bitch. If you have a sick sense of humor you'll have fun just watching poeple play it. Also if you like laughign both at and with games
.
I dont know how much I would actually play it tbh. Outside of a "party" or whatever.
I have one real complaint for the game and thats what I personally call "Explicit Design". Theres no real term for it so I just use explicit design to describe some games or some things that have elements that I really dont want to get into over text or into over the intenret. MK2 was amazing. then they "chipped it" and people didn't like it as much. That was when I was a kid. And to this day there are some games that have explicit design that tend to bother me.
I understand. Get a 15 year old Tourny based player to come in and show you a 70% combo. Great. But i'm 31.. i'm drunk. and I dont give a shit.
This is why I have hope for a KI. KI always took care of this very well - for anybody who was hardcore player out there, they know what I mean.
To sum it up. I was Kabal and I did a little number on an opponent and then when they hit the ground I threw a ground blade.. we were all like OH OH OH OH!!!!!!!! I could feel my blood pressure goign up a bit and got all excited!!! AND AND AND OH YES.. ANDD!!!!!!!!!!!
the blade went right through her and off the screen
ppiiiifffffff.....................

It is a fun game though.
KP. Yeah 2v2 and 2vCPU was good stuff.
oh btw.. 360 D pad. What is it. What the hell. That thing is only good for switching weapons in games like Gears and Vanquish or what have you.
somebody at M$ was like "market research shows nobody likes the NES, SNES, and PS D pads... what people like is third party D pads like Gravis stuff or like MadCats pads, namely the old SNES one.... I'm backwards merketer man. I have my head up my ass."
You know thats probably what my braind did!!:) 3 was the last one I played seriously. A friend of mine had one on the Xbox that I played a couple of times when I went over. But really 3 In the arcade was the last one I truly know.
