As ludicrous as it may seem, Mortal Kombat features on of the most detailed and coherent story found in a fighting game. Every character has a connection the the main plot that once all story missions are played with each character the overall story will really astound. After all the main story is the re-telling of the story from the first three games in the franchise, which is quite a lot to tell in one game.

As expected with the franchise, the violence and gore to be found within are quite over the top. While nothing is excessively mean spirited it can actually be quite fun to rip the spine out of someones back.
