Hands-On: Mortal Kombat for PS Vita

[Commander Fury]

I’ve got good news, and I’ve got <em>good</em> news. First, the good news: Based on my recent hands-on play sessions, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/mortal-kombat/">Mortal Kombat</a> on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> plays identically to its PS3 counterpart. That means fluid 60 frames-per-second fighting, lush presentation, and every bit of content from the console version. That includes the critically acclaimed Story mode, a full character roster, the Krypt, the works.

 

I also tried out a series of local (non-internet) Wifi multiplayer matches, and I’m happy to report that the game felt smooth and responsive with no perceptible lag. If you’re skeptical, watch the video above to see local multiplayer -- and my hairy, hairy paws -- in action.

 

Now for the <em>good</em> news: The PS Vita version adds an ambitious array of extra content, starting with every piece of DLC ever released on PS3.
