Mortal Kombat doesn’t just return to the original game’s title, it also brings back the 2D fighting style – albeit delivered through excellent 3D visuals. It makes for a more immersive experience, and the story doesn’t just feel like it was slapped on there for good measure. Where most fighting games during the past 20 or so years have had some kind of background story explaining why these fighters are all battling each other to the death, Mortal Kombat goes the extra mile and ties each individual fight into the main story arch using in-game animations. Of course, much of the game is exactly the same as in the console version, right down to the surprisingly well-developed narrative structure. That wait is now over, but is Mortal Kombat for PCs the ultimate Mortal Kombat experience or is it merely a sloppy port? The last few years have seen some of the older titles being re-released through Steam/G4WL, but PC enthusiasts haven’t had the pleasure of being able to play the later titles.
Mortal Kombat – The Komplete Edition is the first Mortal Kombat game to grace the PC platform since Mortal Kombat 4 back in 1998.
