Mortal Kombat was officially announced on June 10, 2010 accompanied with a debut trailer showcasing the new presentation and gameplay features, which includes Challenges, and extras such as an on-line mode, four player tag-team play, and downloadable content. Although the game won several awards at E3 2010, and received positive reviews, it's currently banned in Australia due to the extreme violence.Although set directly after Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the game focuses on the earliest period in the Mortal Kombat series (the trilogy Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, and Mortal Kombat 3). The game's storyline involves Thunder god Raiden attempting to change the present by contacting his former self.
Mortal Kombat co-creator and creative director of Ed Boon, stated developers intended for Mortal Kombat to be accessible to the casual player and more "engaging", with experts on the fighting genre consulted and new features were created to create a deeper fighting experience.
Principal gameplay involves one-on-one fighting in a single 2D fighting plane, (at sixty frames per second)although characters are rendered in three-dimension fashion,the intent being to give depth and range to portrayals of various projectiles.
Unlike previous Mortal Kombat games, four buttons on the game controller represent an attack and are linked to a corresponding limb. A "super meter" was also added which can be charged by various actions during battle such as performing a combo or getting hit by the opponent.The super meter can be charged to three levels, with three special actions available. A single level can be used to deliver an enhanced version of one of the character's special attacks; two levels can be used to interrupt a combination attack, and the full three levels allow for the delivery of a special combination attack called an "X-ray move". During this attack, the camera provides an internal view of a defending character and shows bones and organs being broken or ruptured.Extra features include the ability to play as multiple characters during the course of the story,a Fatality training mode (allowing players to practice executing finishing moves),the Challenge Tower, Tag team fighting and online mode.
The Challenge Tower mode is a single-player option Boon described as "similar to an arcade ladder". It includes 300 specific challenges of various difficulties providing currency rewards upon completion, with players having the option of using in-game currency to by-pass other difficult challenges. Amongst the various challenges are "Test Your Might" (requires rapidly pressing buttons and specific timing to destroy blocks of varying difficulty), "Test Your Sight" (following an object hidden under a cup or skull and revealing the object after a shuffle), "Test Your Strike" (involves destroying a specific block in a stack) and "Test Your Luck" (battles with certain conditions, such as no jumping respectively. The four player tag-team feature is an original feature, allowing two players to play together. Characters can suddenly appear on-screen and perform "assist attacks" or "special entry attacks" while the second character disappears
Developers stated that online gameplay for Mortal Kombat would be a main priority. which GamePro editors called a "smart move", The development team stated interest in capabilities to link the player's progression feed to their accounts held on social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter, and recreate the feel of socializing with players in an arcade. The online mode includes a "King of the Hill" option, where up to eight players can act as spectators and play the winner of a fight. Spectators may also rate the fights and use the "forum" to determine how to perform various combos or moves observed during a fight. A single-use online pass is also included with the game which is mandatory to access the online components. Online passes are also available from the PS Store and Xbox Live Marketplace.
In February 2011, the game was refused classification by the Australian Classification Board due to "violence that exceeds strong in impact".Warner Bros. unsuccessfully appealed the decision to the Classification Review Board,who ruled "the impact of the violence in Mortal Kombat is higher than strong and thus could not be accommodated within the MA15+ classification".The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service lists the game as a prohibited item.The Australian Minister for Home Affairs Brendan O'Connor has asked to be briefed on the Mortal Kombat decision, citing "public disquiet on the issue
