Well I buckled down and got the demo. I went with the 3 month subscription to PlayStation Plus (decided to give that a try too, I can definitely see some perks in this, by the way).
But the demo is simple, only 4 fighters but this is definitely the Mortal Kombat we all remember and love from MK2 except the ******** and gore is on steroids now. The hits and bone crushes even make you cringe a couple times. I can't really seem to get any moves down, just find myself repeating the same moves over and over to win. Overall though, can't wait for the final product!
