Guess the metascore (Week 1) game.

PS3 - 89-92
Xbox - 85-88

I think reviews from Xbox exclusive sites and magazines will be slightly lower due to it not having an exclusive character or some other BS.
 
82-86
It'll get a few 100s and a few 70s, however I predikt most big review sites to hover between the 8-9 range steadily.

OR they kould all give it a skore as an improvement upon past 3d MK games and we'll have a perfekt 10/10 everywhere ^.^
 
89-92
It is a very impressive game, but these are real people we are talking about and despite the fact we don't want an anti-fighter bias, it's bound to show up.
 
My guess?

It's going to be panned by reviewers, garnering only 72-76, mostly because it's not SSF4, but the Fan Reviews are going to be through the roof.

Quite the opposite for me actually. The fans will compare-and-contrast this game with SSF4 IMO.

I think that's going to happen too, but not in the first week. In the first week everyone will be playing it far too much to Metacritic it, me thinks....
 
93-97

You guys have to realize that the people who review games are well aware that it's a fighting game. A first person shooting game isn't judged on how many things you do outside of first person shooting, it's judged by the gameplay and elements of the first person shooting.

They're going to judge this Mortal Kombat as a fighting game, and as a fighting game it delivers on a bunch of fronts. It's appealing to the eye, it's friendly to pick up, and it has alot of content that deals with the fighting engine.
MvC3 got 8s on average and (no offense to MvC3 of course) the game is pretty bare boned when it boils down to it. The story mode is lackluster and the Arcade mode and online modes are equally as lackluster. But the reviewers judged it for its main fighting engine, and it that itself made it loved by many.

MK has a boat load more crap than MvC3 will ever have AND has a solid and emersive fighting engine. It's pretty safe to say it'll at least score 90% or better by practically all reviewers.

Some of you might say that it's stupid for people to review a game before it's released but for fighting games its alot different. Fighting games wear what is good about them right on their sleeve. If you know how the game plays, the other stuff added to it is just icing.
It's clear that MK9 is a good fighter. So we should already know it'll score well above 85% generally.
 
There are so many good aspects about this game, I would be surprised if it got less then a 9.0. The fighting engine is the most complex and rewarding system we ever had in a MK game. The characters are very unique this time around and it is presented in there overall game play. The characters are responsive and when you get to learn the intricacies of the combo system you will making up your own combos. I can't tell you how many times in the demo, I pulled a new combo out of nowhere just by knowing what links in a characters move set could actually work in a combo. Story mode is shaping up to be the best story we have ever had in a fighting game and all the content they have added in the game will have us busy for months.
