Man MK has sure gone downhill since I was a kid. Looks like they are going for the 6-12 year old demographic now. If they made another MK for adults, where the fatalities were more graphic I would totally buy it. I'll be passing on this snoozer.

Those were some of the worst fatalities this game has ever seen. Right on par or beyond the SNES castration of MK1.

Seriously, they need to sell this franchise to someone who know's what the fan's want. Midway has lost any hope with this brand now. Just utter terrible!

is it possible that this game has gone from being 'too realistic' with all the gore to a completely fantasy land where blood is no longer found in living things as we transfer oxygen directly through the skin.
that would make sense.... well, more so than a mortal kombat game without blood.

I like SZ's and Catwoman's. My only problem with Catwoman is that she's not really a villain, she's a shades-of-gray character. Given that, I don't think she should have a Fatality, since she more or less upholds Batman's "Thou Shalt Not Kill" mantra.

But not that, nor the lack of gore, will stop me from buying the game. The fighting looks solid, and that's what I'm after. I do think the game is lacking the true essence of MK, but I also believe that that's not really Midway's fault.

It just seems so bland, not one bit of blood. But we cannot blame the developers, its mainly DC's fault because they did not want their characters being eviscerated on screen. It would be nice to have a Mortal Kombat universe only option that has only those characters fighting with full gore and fatalities implemented, but developers are not that smart. Plus, I am sure they wanted the Teen rating for sales purposes alone since the Batman/Superman etc. universe appeals to children, but that never stopped them from picking up previous MK games.
