Genesius Member Nov 2, 2018 20,119 Still the GOAT after all these years. Best roster, best story, best gameplay. Remake/remaster this with an MK11 Krypt and I'll have all the MK I'll ever need.  TheChungusAmongUs Member Oct 25, 2017 14,413 I read this title as 14th anniversary of MK11 and actually felt myself turn into a skeleton until I clicked and saw pics of MK9   Osu 16 Bit QA Lead at NetherRealm Studios Verified Oct 27, 2017 3,173 Chicago, IL The game that kompletely altered the kourse of my life. Wild it's been that long.   Nemesis121 Member Nov 3, 2017 16,246 Best story, MKX, MK11, and MK1 were mediocre to awful, probably one of the best fighting games story ever told.   Buzzkiller_20 Corrupted by Vengeance Member Oct 27, 2017 2,500 Loved playing as Kratos. His stage was cool too. Especially the stage fatality. Great game.   nsilvias Member Oct 25, 2017 29,521 the envirement art aged well   Dukie85 Chicken Chaser Member Oct 25, 2017 3,100 This is the last time I thoroughly enjoyed a fighting game... MK9 is one of my GOATs   TheJollyCorner AVALANCHE The Fallen Nov 7, 2017 10,280 Before I saw the year I thought this was for the first movie and, for a fraction-of-a-fraction of a second believed my dreams of time-traveling backwards actually happened. Shit.  MrNewVegas Member Oct 27, 2017 11,326 That POS Shao Khan battle will be seared into my mind forever.   VariantX Member Oct 25, 2017 17,929 Columbia, SC I still can't believe I did all 300 missions in the challenge tower. I put more time into MK9 than any other MK before or after it. It's yet to be surpassed in my mind   Pyro God help us the mods are making weekend threads Member Jul 30, 2018 18,420 United States The game shows its age in the funniest way possible (16 year old me thought this was a fucking JAM): View: https://open.spotify.com/track/1GPVsNek0U5PegVpW0rxcy?si=EIVI8MoATemh8kMchjUL1A&context=spotify%3Asearch   JusDoIt ▲ Legend ▲ Member Oct 25, 2017 42,923 South Central the biggest reinvention of a fighting game series ever, imo   PhoenixAKG Member Aug 14, 2019 9,242 Best story but the female characters designs are just awful   DrFunk Member Oct 25, 2017 14,487 MrNewVegas said: That POS Shao Khan battle will be seared into my mind forever. Click to expand... Click to shrink... Ridiculously hard. AND he used finishing moves!   UshiromiyaEva Member Aug 22, 2018 1,927 Glad it saved MK but the story in this one will forever frustrate me, body count for body count's sake. I think MKX is a pretty straight improvement gameplay wise but if there's anything I miss from 9 it's the static Challenge Tower and having such a high count of stages  Niklel Prophet of Regret Member Aug 10, 2020 4,351 The GOAT. MK 2011 was peak. MKX didn't do much for me. Skipped MK11. MK1 has amazing graphics, but other than that didn't hold my interest for long, sadly.  Boy Member Apr 24, 2018 4,929 I feel like this was the best MK game. Probably my most played MK game of them all.   xmonkeyofevil Member Jun 9, 2019 657 Love MK9, but unfortunately everytime I think of it I remember how it came out right along the PSN situation and by extension didn't have online play for weeks ;_; But I played the hell out of it anyways. Got arcade mode down to a science and was able to regularly beat it without blocking. Such a fun game. Some of the character models aside, it's aged beautifully imo.  Zaied Member Oct 27, 2017 5,007 MK9 easily has my favorite soundtrack of the last four games. I also thought it had the peak portrayals of a few characters like Kabal and Cyrax. Great game; in hindsight, I wish I had bought the 360 version at launch instead of the PS3 version so I could be playing it on my Series X.  Unicorn One Winged Slayer Member Oct 29, 2017 10,707 Love the stages, love the battle damage, love the human cyrax/sektor alts   Cameron122 Rescued from SR388 Member Oct 27, 2017 2,572 Texas I would like a remaster of this game. With Kratos on other consoles/pc   secretanchitman One Winged Slayer Member Oct 25, 2017 9,775 Chicago, IL My favorite game in the series - very much enjoyed the story, roster, stages, music and gameplay. I'm lucky to still have a copy on Steam!  Miamiwesker Member Oct 25, 2017 5,131 Miami The best MK game ever. Loved everything about it. Sparked my love for the franchise to return.   Scrappy-Fan92 Member Jan 14, 2021 10,825 A seminal game in many ways.   zoodoo Member Oct 26, 2017 14,410 Montreal Very important game for the franchise but not my favorite. Going back to it, it feels janky. MKX is a much better game and the best NRS entry in my opinion.   Sign My Guestbook! Member May 26, 2018 29,118 Art style is weird as all heck but the game is so good. Some might prefer MKX more. They're both good to me.   CaveGhostPurp Member Jan 12, 2022 1,277 This was the pinnacle of the series, for me. The true ultimate MK game (besides Shaolin Monks, of course). I haven't liked anything they've done since. Would love a remaster, but they'd probably find some way to screw it up.  zoodoo Member Oct 26, 2017 14,410 Montreal Viennality recently had a pro players showing and Ketchup won with Noob. It was great.

My most played Vita game.   Velikost Member Oct 28, 2017 1,397 Loved this game. Evo when this + SFIV + UMvC3 were in rotation? Peak   Madao Avalanche's One Winged Slayer Member Oct 26, 2017 5,549 Panama i played this game for the first time 2 years ago but somehow it felt nostalgic. can't really explain why. on also, it made me rage at the single player since Shao Kahn was such a cheater. funnily enough i came up with a way to completely cheese him and the fight became like 10x easier, though if he managed to break the pattern, i would be screwed often.
