Custom Soundtracks To Accompany Your MK Combat
Mortal KombatCustom soundtracks. It's one of the most commonly requested features, and when it comes to kicking ass in MK...
We haven't gotten a chance to check out the Mortal Kombat demo, but several readers have e-mailed us going, "hey, didja notice? Didja notice? Custom soundtracks!" Okay, that's not verbatim, but you get the idea. I've never been impressed with the music in MK and it really is a game that begs for a personal touch. It seems most who sampled the demo didn't even know the option existed so we figured we'd let you know; added incentive to nab the brutal combat game. And from what we've heard, implementing your favorite tracks doesn't hamper the audio effects, so it's quite seamless. It's easy to do, too, so get your selection ready; you'll need it to punctuate your butt-kicking.
Maybe they should make custom soundtracks a necessary feature in all games.

That R18+ rating cannot come soon enough!!! Fortunately, Michael Atkinson ( the South Australian attorney general and one man preventing the R rating going ahead) is now out of office. The other attorney generals either support it or are unsure, and the federal government has said it will step in and make a decision for the state generals should an agreement not be reached.
I'm hoping this is a positive step towards June being the day we Aussies finally get that adult rating for games approved. But for now, we'll have to simply enjoy watching the rest of the world play Mortal Kombat on YouTube. :(

Blame the church groups and ignorant mothers for continuing to keep R18+ ratings from our games. They're still under the illusion that ALL games are made for and played by children, and ONLY children.
I love living in Australia, but being a gamer here really sucks. We didn't even get Rock Band 2 AT ALL!!! Got Rock Band 3 though which is an improvement. And every single one of our GTA's has been edited. And you can thank Australia for changing Morphine to Med-X in Fallout 3 for the rest of the world.
Yep... Australia. Leading the world in gaming. (Rolls eyes)

I have to say, I've spent quite a bit of time with the MK demo. I think around 3 hours. When I'm interested in a fighting game I really go through a detailed analysis of how the fight engine works. I think I can confidently say that this MK will be the best. I think it even has been given EVO representation as a hardcore tourney fighter. Something the MK series has had a hard time gaining recognition for in the past.
I suppose with Motorstorm's delay, those who were torn between the two titles, MK or Motorstorm, can now come to an easier decision.

And regarding Custom soundtracks... I don't think it should be a requirement of the game to support it. In fact, I don't think the game should have anything to do with it. Sony should make the firmware of the PS3 capable of playing music in the background while games run. I should be able to just go to my in-game XMB and start/stop my music as I please. As long as I can disable the in-game music, then great.
Seriously, my CFW PSP can play MP3's while gaming, why can't Sony pull it off on the PS3?

KZ3 already has it's own awesome soundtrack, which you should already know if you bought the Helghast Edition.
The whole amazing soundtrack was a extra perk that was included as a separate download too.

Just hope this has quality endings unlike MKvsDC or MvsC3.

Capcom's fighters are always hit and miss with the endings. One of my biggest peeves about SFIV and it's super iteration was the quality of the animation endings versus the quality of those spectacular openings. MvC3's are old school Capcom fighter endings that I didn't really mind as some of them were rather funny. Deadpool's is my favorite, Jill's being second because of the ... cameo of one of my favorite Marvel characters. Spoiler Free Dameyon, go!

just wish they would of kept the 3 fighting styles!
they really let you mix your combos up, and use a different fighting style to suit different opponents.
not only did it defeat repetitiveness, it also injected some tactics into the mix because some fighting styles were more effective against certain players then others.
not only that, but before you could pull off 60 move combos!
anyone remember sparky?
now, you can but its not a set of 60 different moves, its a set of 4 or so moves, then a set of another 4, then a set of another 4, so on and so on.
you dont feel like your getting a flow on, you feel like your in stop start traffic!
please, edd, please bring back the 3 style fighting moves!
wish they would do either a deception sequel, with the 3 style fighting system deception had.
or a new shaolin monks game.
that was by far the best ps2 game ever released!
maybe, finally release the fire and ice game that got canned.
a tandem shaolin monks styled story based game staring scorpion and sub zero, 2 of MKs most iconic characters!
what more could you ask for!?

If there were as many deals up here I would've preordered by now, but I just bought the new fight night as well.
Almost done dragon age 2, eventually will get back to the witcher.
Seems hard to keep up with all the games this year especially. Not that I'm complaining but there's a lot of competition since I'm just getting into a dev program.
PS I wouldn't mind Fire and Ice as a sequel either. The new one seems to have a lot of replay potential but who doesn't love a non-tournament MK storyline? Like the tv series for the whole one season it had.

Once the game is released keep an eye out for sites like Dungeon Crawl or Aussie Gamer & grab it from them that way you won't have to sh!t yourself over the possible threat of customs confiscating it. If you're importing from overseas then get the shipper to place it in a different cover box. Sorted.
Oh & seriously, do you really believe that customs are going to search every DVD like case they see? It's just a scare tactic and nothing more. They have far more important sh!t to be sniffing out for such as weapons, drugs etc. Unless sniffer dogs can smell MK then you won't have a problem if you get it shipped in a different cover & under a different packaging label.
Customs officer 1: Hey mate, i just found X amount of grams of cocaine.
Customs Officer 2: You think that's bad i just found Mortal Kombat!!!!!
Customs Officer 1: Omg, security!!!!!
Anyway, played the demo & freakin' loved it! Mk is back for sure!

if you want to play the game, you have to illegally download it simple as that!
dont bother importing it because customs has been updated for it, and they will be searching every package for it.
plus, did you know you can get a MASSIVE fine for importing banned games?
i know stupid, but i read it a few days ago.
10K i think it was!
not worth the risk!
it wont be releasing here edited either, WB have already said there not going to edit it and re submit it.
every time you submit the game you have to pay, they have already done it twice and in there eyes thats enough money spent.
which is fair enough.

People are freaking out because Gamespot has it as a news article, of course customs are going to confiscate it if they find them, what do people expect them to say!? It's their job to stop prohibited goods, they said this with L4D2 & others when the ban was as fresh as a morning turd.
It's a scare tactic, just like Left 4 Dead 2 & every other game was that has been censored here. Customs don't have the manpower or time to check every single parcel that goes through our shores.
I ain't buying it & neither are the thousands of other Australian MK fans who have already imported their copies the "unsafe" way.

is it worth the risk?
i love MK, loved playing the demo!
but is it worth the risk importing it and be one of the unlucky few that get it confiscated and a massive fine?
sure, its a small chance, but people play the lottery with worse odds!
im not going to bother importing it, i dont have 10K to throw away.

If the government see's retailers here doing enough complaining & start noticing that gamers are spending money overseas they will begin to realise just how badly this adsurd banning is affecting our economy & how it is hurting retail sales.

All this IRON EAGLE customizable soundtrack hoo-hah is better left to just that: horrible 80s movies about a kid flying an F-16 with Louis Gossett Jr.
