I've been having a lot of fun with it, Kung Lao still feels like Kung Lao so I don't need to learn much to be okay with him. The violence and brutality does get to be a bit much at times (Quan Chi's fatality where he rips someone's leg off then beats them to death with it), especially with the detail in some of the fatalities. It is a ton of fun though.This doesn't look promising at all. The violence was somehow entertaining when I had no experience with games and what makes a good game. Nowadays I doubt a classic MK engine can provide fun. Stryker's X-Ray is so good. It fits the police brutality theme well. When I bought it a Future Shop, they gave me a free steel case (I guess they couldn't get them packaged in time?). It looks really slick, almost as good as the Doom 3 steel case. | ||

I've been enjoying the heck out of it, personally.

I love the classic, mortal kombat themesong to the combos. Its like a flood of nostalgia. User was warned for this post (Triple Posted) | ||

I'm stuck using the xbox controller and the game seems to read anything other than perfectly up, down, left, right as a diagonal input. Getting really annoying trying to dash and having my guy jump or trying to uppercut and doing a down/right special move. And I've had no similar issue with SSF4 or MvC3 | ||

the pokes and combos of street fighter 4 are there - but you can actually 'break' combos and follow them up with a combo of your own... this leads to insanely cool-looking exchanges. i love street fighter 4, but i didn't really like the setup combo into ultra finishing moves which were totally unstoppable due to the stunlock. it breaks the game to a level where the players have to be uber cautious and never go on the offensive - and a game that's so ultra defensive is clearly broken as it's nowhere near as enjoyable to watch as it should be. | ||

"POLICE BRUTALITY COMING RIGHT UP". his x-ray flashlight is hilarious | ||

Also when you are hitting opponents in block you x-ray bar charges faster. So yea, you can say the game got anti-defensive measures installed. Also when you get hit by a special your bar charges up faster then when hit by normal attack which promotes gameplay different then boring stupid MvC3 one. Stryker does not use a flashlight but a taser. | ||

Looks clear as crystal to me. lol yeah, thats what it looks like to me, i dont see what the debate is. | ||
