Mortal Kombat has seen its fare shares of ups and downs. The franchise looked like it might have been done for good with the less then stellar reception of Mortal Kombat vs DC. However the developers have taken the game back to its roots and have showed gamers why the series had become such it hit in the first place.

The original Mortal Kombat in 1992 is probably the first M rated game to be released on a console that stirred up controversy. The graphic violence of the 16bit fighter led in part to the creation of the ESRB. The last couple of games had seemed like the series wasn’t moving forward, especially with its release of Mortal Kombat vs DC which had been rated T for Teen. It’s almost 20 years since the original game and it has finally gotten a true sequel to the classics which dare I say might be the best one yet.
