I'm not sure how many Mortal Kombat nuts are on here, but I'm a huge fan of the series even though they've sort of gone downhill lately. I'm a bit of a comic nut too, so Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was sort of entertaining, but I enjoy my Mortal Kombat to be over-the-top and unnecessarily violent. I'm hoping they release the two proposed downloadable characters for MK vs. DCU though.

From what I've read, Ed Boon (Creator of MK) wants to give it a "Gears of War" look...all dark and gritty. I've always imagined that this is they way the games should be. There's no rainbows and sunshine in ripping a guy's spine out and thrusting it through his kidneys, but the bright colors and all don't seem to match.

With Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon, I saw a bunch of stuff I really liked but it wasn't all in one place, if you know what I mean.

Deadly Alliance had a great "unlockables" system, Deception had more Fatalities per character and great deathtraps in the levels, Armageddon had a HUGE selection of characters, a great Konquest mode, and Kreate-a-Fighter, but did away with the character-specific Fatalities. Kreate-a-Fatality was cool and it was probably included because of the sheer number of fighters and the fact that you could create your own fighter. Boon's Twatter page mentions a lot about motion-capturing Fatalities so I think the character specific ones are making a comeback.

I hope to see a good mix of all these plus-points in the next game. What do you guys think? What characters do you want to see? How much do you even like Mortal Kombat?
