GAME NEWS:
The final installment in what was supposed to originally be a 13 episode webseries aired over the weekend.
Episode 9 focuses on the story of Cyrax and Sektor, and how they came to be the robotic cyborgs they are. Like the other videos in this series, Part 9 serves to enlighten audiences on previously established storylines, albeit in a real world way. This episode doesn't tie in to the others in the series, and falls short of what one would expect a finale to be. In fact, it airs very similar to the others which have come before it, tied to nothing and acts only as a CGI vision of the Mortal Kombat world. While visually it's cool to see these two robotic beings battle, one has to ask whether or not it was worth your time in the first place.
So, after all weeks of Mortal Kombat content, the series has finall wrapped. Was it worth the hype? Did it live up to the expectations set so high by last year's Mortal Kombat Rebirth?
Sadly, we'd have to say no. What was so cool and original in the trailer for Rebirth last year never saw the light of day with this webseries. Fans of the genre were impressed by what director Kevin Tancharoen can do with the game's history, but these episodes have proven to do very little in terms of reigniting the series in cinema. Instead, they feel mostly like a video-game tie in. While that may be fine for many fans, one has to ask if that's what was originally advertised.
In the end, these webseries episodes stand on their own, and surely viewers will find plenty throughout the nine episodes to enjoy. Our favorite still falls with the Kato vs Jax episode, as it was simply covered in awesome-sauce. Everything after that seemed dull in comparison.
