The only reason for giving it an 8 and not a 9 is because I think MK2 is even better so THAT one deserves the 9.
This game will forever hold the title 'first in its kind'. The game that started motion capture acting with real martial arts champions. The game that started blood and gore. The game that started fatalities.
Not only was it fun to play and great to look at. It had a great, original and exciting storyline that was asking to be exploited. And since then it spawned many sequels, movies and series.
However the quality went down after a few games, this 1st game will never loose its status.
