August 15, 2008 - Sometime in gaming history, an imaginary divide formed between Japanese RPGs (JRPG) and computer RPGs (CRPG). JRPGs became known for random encounter, turn-based battles, whereas RPGs typically developed for the PC by North American companies became known for a more real-time convention.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

The game really doesn't have good graphics. Also,, the combat is better then I thought it would be, I hate the Tales type of combat system, but everything gets clustered really quick, and alot of times you cant even see whats going on in the screen cause of all the spells and the action. They should have made this game with less main characters and it would have been good enough for me. I dont know if I should buy this or rent it.
