Mortal Kombat is a game where you can chose one of two players, one is Liu Kang and the other is Kung Lao, each having their own skills and 'fatality' skills, which are very enjoyable to watch and use. At the start of the game you have your normal skills, but as you go on your skills get upgraded. At the end of each stage you face one of the generals. As you pass each of the warriors, your enemies get stronger and faster. In some of the challengers you have to use your strengths to complete the task to go on to the next task.
Once you have completed the game you can chose two new characters, Sub-Zero or Scorpion and then you can have more fun with their abilities and skills. This makes the game really enoyable, and I got lost when playing, just getting involved in the game and letting time fly past outside. I love these sorts of games and will be playing this one a lot. More late nights are in store I think. It's a great game.
