I didn’t think it fair to review Mortal Kombat for Vita without referencing the following key paragraph from our original review, which was written a little over a year ago by fighting game savant Neidel Crisan:
“With just under 30 characters to try out from the get-go, 30 different stages with a mountain of secrets and unlockables, and a robust online mode, the replay value is absolutely through the roof. Mortal Kombat has set the standard for the sheer amount of content that is to be expected from a title like this, showing that it is possible to add many creative elements to a genre that has typically been restricted to one-vs.-one arcade battles, training and online modes that leave a lot to be desired. If other developers follow suit and add even half of the amount of content that’s included in Mortal Kombat, the fighting game genre has a very bright future ahead of it.”
