I look forward to this game. It seems that a lot of games are moving back to 2D which pleases me.

Pretty cool that Kratos is going to be in it. I really liked when Soul Caliber brought in third party characters.

I really have mixed feelings about the game. I think it has promise, yet at the same time I think the Mortal Kombat series might need to just be respectfully shelved. I suppose we shall see.
