Mortal Kombat PS3

Mortal Kombat for the PlayStation 3 (also known as Mortal Kombat 9) is a gritty, mature reboot of the classic fighting series. The game returns to its 2D fighting roots but features highly detailed 3D graphics rendered in a 2.5D plane, all running at a smooth 60 frames per second. [, , , , ]

Key features and elements of the game include:

• Playable Roster: The base game includes 28 playable characters, featuring franchise staples like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Liu Kang, and Johnny Cage. [, ]
• PS3 Exclusive Character: PlayStation 3 players have access to an exclusive guest fighter: Kratos from the God of War series, complete with his signature weapons. [, , ]
• Story Mode: Instead of standard arcade ladders, the Story Mode is split into 16 distinct chapters. Players take control of various fighters as they relive the iconic original timeline, moving through the narrative via dramatic cutscenes and forced combat sequences. [, ]
• Combat Mechanics: The game introduces a three-section power meter. Players can use the meter to augment special moves or save it to unleash devastating, cinematic X-Ray attacks that show the internal damage done to the opponent's bones and organs. [, , , ]
• Fatalities and Gore: The series' notorious blood and gore are a central focus. Battles feature heavy, accumulating "battle damage," where characters will progressively show ripped flesh and exposed bone during the fight. Winning a match allows players to perform ultra-violent finishing moves known as "Fatalities"
