One of the great things about this generation's gaming consoles is how far we've come along from the NES, SNES and Sega Genesis days. Back when arcade fighting games first came out for home consoles you had to study the game manuals for the moves if you didn't know them already. Chances are that you're pretty good with one character but not all of them so if you're kicking some ass with Scorpion but then you get a little bored and want to try a new character like Reptile or Shang Tsung you'll have to stop and study the manual or look for the moves online. The great thing about games for Xbox and PS3 is that they can support online manuals. If you're playing Street Fighter IV with Gouken or Juri for the first time you can press start for instant access to all of their moves. That includes special moves like hadokens and shoryoukens, super moves, ultra combos and unique moves like Guile's reverse spin kick.
Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe was the first game in the MK series that I bought for PS3. I was exited about the fatalities and brutalities and I couldn't wait to have them there in the start menu, easily accessible like the Street Fighter IV moves but then....
They weren't there. I'm not sure if there's something that I've missed or that I am still missing but I had to check online for fatalities and heroic brutalities. The fatalities are complex and difficult to learn so why wouldn't they be included with the rest of the moves in the start menu?
