Got my Kopy today here in Pakistan, and the game really rocks your world if you're more into story, epicness, orientalism and exotic-locales. The only drop-down factor that I noticed was the arcade gameplay. At least for now, I can't get enjoyment from the aerial kombat mechanics, me and several of my friends are so used-to the previous scheme that the fighter truncating the on-going combo and moving into the air for fight came to be more of a let-down than a satisfying finish of a lust-ful combo. Other than that the 62 fighters roster, their unique styles, sounds and moves really steal the day.

Konquest mode is awesome, just as I started it, I felt like I'm playing some Japanese game, really the ambience, look and music of the Botan Jungle lets you feel like you are playing PS2's great game Blood-Will-Tell(Tezuka Osamu's Dororo). By this referance I mean how pretty a mode it has become, from falling leaves to swarming insects and beautifully unexpected draw-distances. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm simply enjoying the Konquest and its breath-taking for an arena fanatic such as myself, but I must say, MK: Deception's Konquest mode wins here. No doubt this time its really pretty, technically enhanced and more playable, but the 'world-creation-&-its-population' done by Midway in Shujinko's Konquest was far more appealing, immersive and fancying than's Taven's. It let the playes think and enjoy the world theirselves(in Deception), standing outside Bo Rai'Cho cottage thinking about 'where could the living-forest be ?!' was a delight felt so lost in MK: Armageddon's Konquest mode. The worlds, their population and the interaction of that population with your character is sadly missed this time around. Other than this aspect...with the amount of work Midway has put into this title, their mastery over games-development is simply appreciable beyond words.

The areas that I'm enjoying the most are KAK mode, for right now I completed Pai Mei model complete with those awesomely diverse moves...and it rocks, alongwith that as usual, I've fallen in love again with MK artists especially Tony Goskie, for the arenas that I'M WITNESSING...dear GOD ALMIGHTY, the outside window look of the lumber-mill took my heart away, and I know I'm gonna write poetry on that arena. Man, that pale evening sky, such calm out side, in the midst of an abandoned forest, a mill running soothingly humming and delivering exoticness into the valley...WOW, what a heavy heart and sadness that surrounds that wodden architecture, so exquisitely chosen for a battle of epic proportions. Alongwith that the spire, wastelands and Reptile's layer made my day, and I can't tell you how much passionately I'm waiuting for NetherShip arena to be unlocked. I'll post more impressions soon.

Got it a few days after it came out. Beat it with everyone on the bottom two rows, Kung Lao, Kira, Sareena, and I think Quan Chi...

Yes Cinder, got mine the day it was released in UK.

Immediate thoughts:

+ everyone in one game at last (provided you KAF Khameleon, Inferno etc)
+ KAF - been having too much fun with that to even touch my MK faves
+ motor kombat is a laugh
+ 30ish interactive arenas really makes for good variation
+ best MK graphics ever, especially the arenas
+ one kombat + one weapon style is a sensible cut-back
+ delivered pretty much on time and pretty much as promised, despite a lot of complaints to the contrary on these boards.
+ nice to see aerial kombat back

- Konquest plot kinda sux after the fabulous MKDA+MKD plots
- Some odd decisions, eg Scorp's costumes, Sonya's leg grab.
- Strange choices in KAF. EG small choice of weapons, and not one decent set of armour apart from cyber-ninja and fixed-colour elder god armour....and yet we have a dozen different types of hat.
- After 6 MKs we really ought to have a better Arcade ladder system
- I really, really, really wish we had some trademark finishing moves

All in all I think this is a good supplement to MKDA and MKD, and shows that you could make an awesome MK8 by continuing to develop the interactive arenas, expanding the options in KAF, and allowing the user to customise the ladder (# enemies, start difficulty, boss difficulty, health recovery). Kill off who you like, so long as KAF has the flexibility to resurrect them!

Hope this non-rant feedback is what you are looking for.
