This one easily beats the crap out of the last two installments. Gone are the stiff digitized characters or pseudo 3D. Insert a good amount of DIFFERENT fighting styles, adequate graphics, interesting characters & secrets and a few barrels of blood and you've got my favourite MK since the first sequel. If you didn't like MK in the past, chances are you won't enjoy this one either. But this is one of the best come-backs one could imagine, and it sets an example for all MKs to come. Although it's still a bit rough around the edges, Midway must be commended for reinventing and rejuvenating this franchise. Bring on MK6 :-)
