Mortal Kombat 2011

Is it still worth playing?

A 2011 fighting game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that retells the first three Mortal Kombat tournaments. The god Raiden sends a warning back to his past self to change how they end, and the story mode moves you from fighter to fighter chapter by chapter. Outside it, the Challenge Tower holds around 300 single player challenges that pay out currency for the Krypt, where extras are unlocked. During a fight, a super meter fills as you land special moves, block or take hits, and it has three levels. Fill it to the top and you can spend it on an X-ray move, a string of attacks. Tag matches take up to four players. Babalities are milder finishers played for laughs. There are 28 fighters, plus Kratos of God of War as a guest on PlayStation. A meter you build by blocking as well as attacking still makes every round a choice between spending now and saving for an X-ray.
