Enter the Mortal Kombat tournament and win it or die trying.
Isn’t that what is was all about?
Each fight leaves behind one winner and one bodybag, why is the whole basic idea changing?
I really hope they get things straight…

Well, despite being an avid comic book fan since I could read, I know the lore behind each and every one of these characters, and while it would not be in their characters to mutilate another human being intentionally, the idea of it still sounds fun. To me at least.

I’m actually not surprised. There’s decades of comic book lore behind each of these characters and most of the major ones (Batman, Superman) almost never kill anyone. It’s not about censoring violence, it’s that DC’s whole job as a company is to keep these characters’ basic traits intact; like not killing or being killed (even Superman was only dead for a few months). The Mortal Kombat characters were created around the whole concept that they kill each other, so they can get away with that; most famous fictional characters cannot. It’d be like having each match of Smash Bros. ending in a blood bath. Entertaining? Sure. Completely ridiculous in the context of the characters? Absolutely.

Ya, this is seriously lame. I’ll still try it out though. But, I’m afraid that I will not by this one. *sigh* I was getting geared up for the next-gen MK title.

Batman doesn’t kill.
Parents would also go crazy when seeing “safe” DC Heroes actually killing.
I’m not defending censor-crazy parents or anything, I’m just stating what they would think.
So yeah, there is no point.

Dumb, there is no MK or MK vs whatever without fatalities. I can see this hurting the sales. Why even bother its just another Street fighter game then. and not knocking Street fighter thats great also but MK was always known for the gore and fatalities. it wont be the same anymore. they should add in the combos and fatalities. MK is dead now to me, finish him. Flawless victory.

How is it “Mortal” Kombat if nobody dies?

No fatalities??? WTF??? Maybe they will have some stupid button combination you will have to enter to allow fatalities like the blood code for MK1 back in the SNES/Genesis days.

BOO no fatalities..

Go Marlins!!!!
