Played the new Mortal Kombat all weekend. Story Mode is a fucking bummer. It opens in the first 30 seconds with every character fucking slaughtered, but you go back in time and have to play the events of Mortal Kombat 1, 2, & 3 again. It's fucking sick but there are no fatalities in Story Mode, which sucks, because I always want to see Johnny Cage get destroyed.
The old tournament mode/tower is still there and it's sick. Combos are pretty easy but it doesn't favor button-mashing, so a player that knows the moves will have an advantage over their younger sibling that's just slamming X or Y.
I can't explain how much replay content there is. They really did a great job with the game. The only thing I hated was the 2 on 1 fights that were annoying as fuck.
