Rambo’s suite of iconic moves is ripe for a fighting game and NetherRealm explores those options beautifully a luxury the team didn’t quite have with the relatively mundane Terminator. Using guns hidden inside bushes or a spiky log swing both look goofy in practice, but they make for a better, more honest portrayal of the ‘80s action star. Traps, bows, and melee attacks of the knife and fist variety all fit Rambo’s character and allow him to have three unique styles that make him stand out from the cast. Sylvester Stallone’s signature mumbly voice acting is predictably mediocre - he really needs his own subtitles - yet his abilities both pay homage to the films and work within the game. Rain doesn’t have as many sharp teeth, but his water-based attacks are a spectacle to watch and give him unique combo potential. Although caving to obnoxious fan demand is a questionable decision, Mileena has a varied move list that accommodates for different playstyles while still retaining her feral nature. Ultimate is savvy at carrying over old stuff, but it also adds a few things to the game, too, like the three new fighters: Mileena, Rain, and Rambo. A ravenous clone, half-god, and grizzled Vietnam veteran Many living games have been making the jump to the next generation and Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate should serve as an example that other developers should follow. Even some of the previously earned trophies automatically pop. Profiles carry over within the same console family without any hassle, meaning everything players have earned will immediately show up in the new version. The constant network connection is, and always has been, annoying, but it has let the game have such a smooth transition to the new consoles.
While the game’s constant need to connect to the network can slow down some of the menus, getting in and out of matches at Kabal-like speeds is quite the game-changer that fighting games have needed a genre that greatly benefits from constant action and little downtime.
#MK 11 ULTIMATE SERIES#
Much has been said about the PS5 and Xbox Series X’s blazing-fast SSDs and few games show that off better than MK11, as matches take a mere two or three seconds to load in as opposed to 15 to 20 seconds. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate’s more drastic technical enhancements have seemingly been focused solely on the load times. It’s not a gigantic leap in visual fidelity, but that’s more of a testament to how slick it looked in the first place. Watching Kotal Kahn’s innards coat Goro’s Lair is just as brutal and stunning as it was on the last batch of consoles. The more varied art, detailed character models, and brilliant use of HDR carry over splendidly and look even better on the new hardware because of the higher base resolution.
