Demo was pretty fun. The fighting played well, didn't feel choppy or slow like some other versions, and the visuals were really good. Lots of characters to choose from as well. Return to old costumes and character favorites was a plus for me as well.

Is it fun with the normal PS controller? It seems like it would be sort of awkward without the arcade style controls.

It's awesome. It's a little more simple than games like Tekken and Soul Calibur, but that's not to say that it is a simple fighting game.
Now is the time to buy it too. Toys R' Us has is for sale for $39.99 this week. In store they have a little magazine called "Gamer Guide" that's free. It has a $10 off Mortal Kombat for PS3 or 360 coupon that's good until May 15th. If you can't find it in store,

I picked mine up today for a grand total of $32.09 after tax. not a bad deal for a $60 game released two weeks ago.

You? Like Mortal Kombat? You should let people know, like if you had something in your sig that connected you and MK.
I'm willin to play some of y'alls online if the PSN ever comes back up. Anybody got Tekken 6?

Yeah man, it's 50% off after all discounts. GameStop will only give you $25 trade in, so right now buying a new copy for $30 is the best it's gonna get

Damn! Which store were you checking at first? I went to Alpharetta and they were sold out of the PS3 version when I went, I ended up going to the Duluth store the next day and they had 2 in stock at the time even though I called the day before and they said didn't have any.
They also told me they get new games everyday around 1 ish by the mail peoples.

I thought I'd heard reports of it being back up and them offering like a free month of PSN+ or whatever, but maybe that's the plan for when they get back up.

go to ps3.ign.com and theyve got all the stories compiled into one. yeah theyre offering a free month but it's really just a ploy to recover income lost due to the security breach. a lot of people dont realize that any content downloaded during said free month will be inaccessible at month's end, essentially forcing you to purchase a plus account in order to enjoy what you technically already paid for. it's kinda fucked up.

in MK1 I was equally good with everyone but Scorpion was my favorite
MK2 I was equally good with everyone but Kung Lao was my fall back guy for when I was in a jam
MK3 Nightwolf was the only character I could really beat anyone with
MK9 so far I favor Scorpion and Kung Lao but I'm still working my way through the roster before I really try to learn the ins and outs of the characters

I like CSZ. I remember in the old story, I think even the cartoon, they were converting the ninjas into cyborgs and Sub-Zero wasn't down with that.
Im just glad they didn't replace him entirely.

Night Wolf had one of the better endings imo Shang Tsung's was good too
Kang's was good but Shang's takes that idea and expands on it
