Mortal Kombat returns after a lengthy hiatus and puts players back into the Tournament for 2D fighting with gruesome combat and fatalities.
Mortal Kombat combines its new mature-oriented fighter gameplay with its story mode, refined graphics, improved game technology, and new game modes to create an experience that is different from what previous Mortal Kombat games offered. Some feature details include four-player tag-team kombat, 3D TV compatibility, fatalities presented in graphic detail, enhanced online functionality, and a storyline that has players jumping back to the past. After centuries of Mortal Kombat, Emperor Shao Kahn has finally defeated Raiden and his allies. Faced with extinction, Raiden has one last chance. To undo the emperor's victory, he must strike Shao Kahn where he is vulnerable, the past. Mortal Kombat will be playable on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
