Introduction

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition for PlayStation 4 (PS4) – model number ZL5529 – promises a complete fighting game experience. Having sunk countless hours into this version, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review, detailing the highs and lows of this critically acclaimed title.

Features

The Ultimate Edition lives up to its name. It boasts a massive roster of 37 characters, including the highly anticipated additions of Mileena, Rain, and Rambo. The sheer number of customization options is staggering; thousands of skins, weapons, and gear pieces allow for unparalleled fighter personalization. Both the main Mortal Kombat 11 story campaign and the Aftermath expansion are included, offering a compelling narrative experience. The inclusion of previous guest fighters like the Terminator, Joker, Spawn, and RoboCop adds significant replay value. Online multiplayer is robust, although the occasional lag is unfortunately expected.

Performance

Graphically, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition shines. The character models are detailed, the environments are vibrant, and the gore (as expected) is spectacular. The game runs smoothly on the PS4, even during the most chaotic multi-character battles. The frame rate is consistently solid, with minimal dips observed even with all the visual effects turned up. The audio is equally impressive, with a hard-hitting soundtrack and fantastic voice acting.

However, the game’s difficulty can be a double-edged sword. While challenging, the AI can feel somewhat unforgiving at times, particularly on higher difficulty settings. Learning the intricacies of each character’s moveset and mastering the game’s complex combat system is crucial for success. The learning curve is steep, but rewarding for those willing to put in the effort.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Massive roster, extensive customization options, compelling story campaigns, impressive graphics and audio, robust online multiplayer.
• Cons: Steep learning curve, AI can be unforgiving, occasional online lag.

Final Verdict

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition (ZL5529) is a phenomenal fighting game. Despite a challenging learning curve and occasional online hiccups, the sheer amount of content, the stunning visuals, and the satisfying combat make it a must-have for fighting game fans. The inclusion of all DLC characters and story expansions makes it an exceptional value for the price. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
