Midway may be gone, but its shitty AI lives on.

Too long. I hope you don't expect me to read all those paragraphs. That's the problem with game reviews these days. Too damn long. Just get to the point.

I'll try to make it more concise next time.

It pretty much acts like any of the old MK's (or any Midway arcade game outside of their racing games). The first couple of levels are almost pathetically easy, then suddenly the difficulty ratchets up. Also, there are quite a few 1 vs 2 matches in the story mode which means you have 2 different cheap AI's to contend with.

lol, so i guess you haven't gotten to the 1v3's yet? =)

seriously, it's not that bad man. i played through everything on default/medium settings. goro and kintaro are hilariously easy compared to the older mk's. but, shao khan is a bitch. i've found a couple of ways already to bust up his AI into exploitable chunks.

I'm not the MK player I used to be. I really should pick up a good arcade stick for these kinds of games. I think Microcenter has a few that look pretty hackable, I can put the X-Arcade sticks I bought a while back in them.

it's better than armageddon



I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

You can't just use the x-arcade?



Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!

Many moons ago, I bought just the joysticks and buttons on ebay for like $20 meaning to build my own, and never got around to it.
