I'm here to tell you guys that the latest installment in the MK
franchise is worth having just for the mini-games alone. I put
the game in expecting to just check out the fighters, but spent
like 3 hours playing Puzzle Kombat and Chess Kombat. PK is
a lot like Dr. Mario (which was a lot like Tetris) and CK is a lot
like Archon (which you may not remember unless you're a
real die-hard), where you played on a chessboard and fought
one-on-one battles with other pieces to take the squares.
The other hour I spent playing Konquest Mode, which is a
single-player journey where you run around stealing money
and punching townspeople in broad daylight without reprisal.
I don't really remember who's in the game except for Scorpion,
Sub-Zero, Kabal, Baraka and Ermac, but I did read somewhere
that one of the unlockable characters is a zombie Liu Kang!
This game may be just the thing to help you get over the loss
of Tecmo Bowl.
HOLY GEEZ I WANTED TO LICK EM!
ReplyDeleteI just got an xbox and picked up ninja gaiden, forza motorsport, sudeki and MGS 2. I finally get to play the sequel to metal gear solid.
Anyway i'll check out the MK action. Soul Calibur rocked my world too.
I remember Archon, and thus, I AM hardcore. That was a pretty cool, yet obscure, game. Much like FAXANADU!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. I can't wait to get SC: Chaos Theory so I can wring some necks while hanging upside down.
Ummm.....I have Ratchet and Clank, Up Your Arsenal. Upgrading the weapons sucks. It reminds me of E.T. for the Atari 2600, in that the game consists entirely of my character falling into holes and having to push a button to levitate myself out. Sometimes there is an FBI Dude.
