Hmm, time to reflect.
My thoughts on this game ran the gauntlet of emotions: surprise, disappointment, hope, and finally excitement. For a while after the official announcement, I thought they were pulling some marketing shenanigans and were poised to make the real announcement.
I'm not nearly as hardcore about MK as most of you, but I enjoy the franchise, and as the West's only successful and surviving fighter left in the business, I have to represent.
After watching myriad gameplay vids, from the very first SpikeTV feature, through E3 and Leipzig, and finally up through this last "MKAST," my expectations have grown..as have my doubts.
There's a lot riding on this game. But I know it will deliver.
