Mortal Kombat Deception

The premium packs and Kollector's edition (which is what I pre-ordered) were delayed a day. Lord only knows why. All I know is that I was highly pissed after calling gamestop 3 days in a row and each time they told me, "Yeah, it will be here on the 5th". So I get there today (Tuesday) and I get "Oh sorry, that's not going to be in untill tomorrow". I officially hate Gamestop now.

Anyway from what I hear most people are pretty happy with the way it turned out. I do wish they would of spent a little more time on the actual fighting... but what can ya do? It just gets pretty annoying when you are trying to play a match with a friend and you have to keep pausing to check the moves list to find out which attack can be linked with another. Maybe I just got spoiled with VF and DOA, but I like being able to push PPK, PP Down + Kick, PP Forward + Kick, PK, P up + kick, etc etc and get a different combo everytime. MK seems a but too controlled. Hence is why I think sadly this will be the last Mk I play unless Boon wises up and realizes it's not 1996 anymore and gaming has evolved. Meh... still can't wait to get online with it though
