This game had aged INCREDIBLY WELL, over a decade later and I still have just as much grub playing this game now as when I was 10-11 years old. This game brought back the old school 2D fighting style of the OG mortal kombat games, while it also added several new features that MK just wouldn’t be the same without today. EG. X-ray moves and the krypt. And not to mention the story mode is a beautifully remake and reboot of the original 3 games in series, while answering many questions about your favorite characters and their abilities. All in all this is one of my favorite games of all time, and while mk 10 and 11 are great those games wouldn’t be nearly as good if the reboot game was an absolute home run like MK9 was.

This game is very eh to me. By no means awful, but also by no means great. I will break down a rate all 3 playlists, and while graphics and sound by no means determine if a game is good or not I think we can all agree that the visuals and audio of the game is a significant step back from MW 2019. Campaign- I was actually very surprised the campaign was al lot of fun, the missions very immersive and digestible. However I feel it was a little short. 7/10 Zombies- Not too bad I love the new rarity system, and the ability to use your own classes. It really adds a new level of customization to zombies that I think is great. However the ever-changing price of the perks and the fact that Quick revive can't self revive anymore is a minus. Lastly I like the addition of a mini field upgrade and the bullet mods. really makes your guns and skills quite unique. 8/10 Multiplayer- Well... Definitely was not a fan upon launch, while I do really enjoy the longer TTK and the removal of doors, not enough has been done to combat campers. MP5, and FFAR are ridiculously overpowered, and the AK-47 and 74u are pretty broken as well. The movement fells very awkward and is extremely loud and distinguishable without the Ninja perk. The maps don't get me started there are 2 maybe 3 decent maps, and I think we can all agree that Miami is the worst map in recent COD history it makes Piccadilly seem like shoot house. 4/10 All in all the game is okay, they DEFINEITLY need more content very soon there are only 8 maps and that's just simply not enough. I'm sure as they add more to the game it will get better, and by no means is Cold War a bad COD game. but to be honest for launch I was pretty disappointed especially with the multiplayer much needs to be fixed, rebalanced and patched.
