Mortal Kombat II on PS3 Store News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 3

C'mere!

Digital Eclipse's PS3 port of Mortal Kombat II has finally arrived in Europe, as you may have read earlier in this week's highly offensive new-releases column. It's available to buy on the PS3 Store for EUR 2.99 during an introductory period.

As well as letting you play the infamous 2D beat-'em-up against the CPU or a friend as one of the game's 12 iconic characters (you know, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, etc.), the PS3 port of MKII allows you to go online and beat people up there, too, with stat-tracking and leaderboards so you can keep an eye on exactly how good you are.

Alternatively, you can go on GameFAQs, download a fatality guide and just watch the funny animations all weekend, which is what we did with the SNES version. Seems like a waste of money now.

You really need to play Street Fighter 2 and 3 if you feel that way.

MK2 is the most playable of the MK games and isn't a total travesty like the rest of the series but it's not a patch on the far better Capcom and SNK games.

Just downloaded.

I prefer MKII over MKIII.

It actually aged well. It's surprisingly balanced tbh. Especially in comparison to "current gen" MK games. The same kids who would always beat me in MKA had their asses handed over to them.

Hey, add me to your friends list if you want to challenge me in mortal kombat: FranXico.

I know these prices are temporary, but this is a great deal, especially as you can play online too.

And this coming from someone who likes too bitch about value for money in every DLC thread going.

3 euros is all they ask you to pay, mate. And only once.

Would have been interesting - except I already got MKII on one of the umpteen retro collections for the PS2. Granted it's not online but frankly that's not interesting.

Well, unless it has been bumped up to 720p like Tekken 5 Dark Ressurection was...

Tekken5DR was rendered at 1080p as well, in MKII upscaling is minimal.
There's an in-game smoothing option though.

It's a good conversion. Nice and smooth animation. The front-end's odd, but it's at a great price, and the game's one that really should be in everyone's collection.

�1.99 (not �2.99) - At least, that's what it says for me. |:

EDIT: Ah, I didn't see the EUR. Use the Eruo sign: � (hold Ctrl+Alt then press 4). (:

Shouldn't that read "Seems like a waste of time now."?

By the way, does this run in forced 50hz on an SDTV?

This was one of the few games that made my Sega 32X seem a worthwhile purchase. :$

It's getting difficult for PS3 owners to read Eurogamer.

Even little articles like this which just overview a new(ish) release - have an anti-PlayStation sentiment.

It's hardly objective journalism and I'm sure EG coud do better.

Still... �1.99 for MKII, with online stuff and a little spit-n-polish. Lovely stuff!

Can't wait for Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Redux! Then I truly might stop looking to the Wii store for console retro gaming!

All the MK games are bollocks. If the original had no gore or digitised graphics no-one would have given two hoots about it.

Good price though. Take note Nintendo.

Well, maybe not, but the sequels were all brilliant fighting games IMO. I prefer them to Street Fighter to be honest. Much more fun.

Bought it yesterday, and for �2, it's a steal.

Online is a bit odd - seem to spend an age hanging around waiting for other people to press start, but aside from that, it's a good 8/10 game (for the price).

Graphic smoothing options work well too.

even if its shit @ �1.99 you cant moan. I prefer Sony's reall money pricing over a stupid points system. Well done Sony!
