Finish them.

The signature cry for those oh so over-the-top and bloodthirsty executions will still echo loud and clear in the heads of fighting fans who first encountered the Mortal Kombat series in arcades a couple of decades ago.

Here, the franchise is brought bang up to date with super-slick HD graphics and – exclusively to the PS3 – the addition of one character who’s no stranger to a bit of blood and gore: Kratos from God of War.

Brutal from the off, this is a fantastic reinvention. Overall rating: 4/5
