When Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 appeared on Xbox Live Arcade this past October, folks cried out for the prequel, Jax Vs Mile- err, we mean, Mortal Kombat 2. Playstation 3 owners win this round as Sony Online Entertainment will be bringing classic kombat to the Playstation Network this March.Mortal Kombat 2 will be available for $4.99 and is being handled by the team behind UMK3 for Xbox Live Arcade, Digital Eclipse. The site for the game itself is slim on details, but if we're to believe this preview from CES, it will support online multiplayer and a 720p resolution.
Enjoy the screenshots and the quick-look strategy guide provided above.

If you pick up a copy of Midway Arcade Treasures 2, you'll get MK2, MK3, and a whole lot more. It won't be online or in 720p, but it will probably only cost you about $10. (Available for PS2, GC, and Xbox... it should work with your PS3, Wii, and maybe the 360.)

You guys always have the best pics...

lol at that photo. The truth! Baraka is bottom tier.

Should have said "beheading to..." :p
I can't get excited by MK anymore. Street Fighter matured with age, along with classic Sonic etc. No MK :(

Weird, I find that I was good with Lui Kang. Oh well, to each their own.
Rayden was cool as well, I like way him and Scorpy could teleport. The sister ninjas and Subz were nice to use also.
Lol at Johnny Cage, most people who played as him usually got their ass handed to them regarless of skill.
The ultimate show off had to be Subz though. After winning I would freeze my opponent, then freeze them again, causing me to freeze, then look away from the person like "I don't even need to kill you, I'd rather immortalise myself in statue form, ha"
Good times

Does anyone else know how to perform a fatality on the original MK (or was it MK2) and make your opponent look AWAY from you while they died?
"thou art not worthy to face thee"
If you've ever wondered who would win in a fight between Ryu & Scorpian then this is for you:

That pic is very LOL.
Is there a history behind it?
thrillho @ Feb 27th 2007 7:38PM
maybe they will put the 1st one out on the wii's VC, playing all the systems right into their hands...

that picure basically sums up the tier structure of how good characters are to use at competition level, meaning which characters are more effective. Winning with Johnny Cage is kinda like Winning With Dan Hibiki or Sean in a street fighter game.

I always like Mortal Kombat Trilogy the best. MK2 was cool,but not enough characters,levels,ect ect.

I'm not sure how well this will play online. No argument that MK2 is amazing, but it turns into a turtle-fest in serious play.
