    That is quite easily the single most grisly intro I have ever seen for anything ever.

    Looks really, really good actually. I like the way the single player is fleshed out with cutscenes that blend seamlessly back and forth into the actual gameplay. Looks like the developers have put more effort than most into the offline mode. Decided to order the PS3 version based on that from Amazon for £30 (I wanted the extra Kratos character and the screenshot comparisons on Lens of Truth look otherwise IMO similar apart from the 360 version being darker).

    Whats up with the extreme level of crushed blacks in this video? Could barely see anything even with the screeen brightness turned all the way up!
    Edit: Wow really? Negged because Eurogamer can't get their video settings calibrated properly?
    Seems to me like they have the 360 on the 'Expanded' setting when they should set it to 'standard' as the video capture is clearly not suitable for the expanded setting.

    Anyway, this might be the first fighting game I pick up in a long time. Looks cheesy as hell but hey its mortal kombat!

    Each to their own and all that but based on visuals alone, MK would get my vote as I personally hated SFIV's exaggerated cartoon style (I think the backgrounds look fine if simplistic but the character art is hideous).

    Can someone fill a Mortal Kombat newbie (aside from extremely hazy memories of some old movie with Christopher Lambert) in on an aspect of the background lore that puzzles me a bit?
    How exactly does the whole dying thing work in this universe? Are they resurrected by magical or other means, or are we just to assume that each death is considered final and thus the end of the line for that character (irregardless of whether I bring him or her into another few hundred fights afterwards)?
    If it's the latter surely there can't be much background lore at all to this game universe, as all but one would have been wiped out for good during their very first tournament.

    I like the little press start/menu screen; it's like a really gruesome play on the classic SF2 intro
