bawrash Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Back on the snes I was absolutely amazing at mortal kombat, but after that I gave up on beat em ups. So I thought a bit of nostalga I'll buy the Kombat collection and relive some of these moments. Firstly I found the d-pad on the xbox controller frustating to use and often used sticks for certain characters. Secondly the difficulty is appauling, I didnt know you could change it at first and fired straight in and completed the original (no achievement by the way, didnt change any settings). Then I played the others and put it on very easy and it was still frustrating. We're not all like these japanese gamers where there hands are a blur and this ruins the experience for everyone that wants to just have a bit of laid back fun. Fair enough the early fights on the ladders have the AI standing about doing nothing but its not long before the computer starts spamming the same move or tactic.

bigsilentrob Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The AI is the same as it was in the arcade versions. In my opinion, the console versions of the MK games were easier than the arcade versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arcade was much harder because they were trying to take your money. Once you luck out and get the achievements just play online or play the ladder on very easy and hopefully some of the fun will come back for you.

bigsilentrob Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm loving having the arcade versions of MK and MKII. This is a blast from the past from my late teenage years here. I'm way out of practice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeerrraayyyyyyy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm loving having the arcade versions of MK and MKII. This is a blast from the past from my late teenage years here. I'm way out of practice though. Couldn't agree with you more. I grew up playing these on the arcade so it took all about a few matches to get my groove back. MK2 is by far my favorite. Arcade was way more difficult compared to the console ports. I even remember Player1 side of MK2 was more difficult than Player2 in the arcades.
