half-baked content
you know that frustrated feeling you get when you go into an mk challenge tower in one of the previous mk titles, and kan't understand why they thought it would be 'fun' to make whole sets of matches have the screen dark and throw random stuff at you while you fight? that's this games overall feel in a nutshell. some interesting game elements, but those are overshadowed by a variety of really terrible design choices, and kontent offerings. overall not a good product. if you like grinding mk games, you'll like it, but that's about the only small target audience that will play this until the next installment.
