And I also find it a lot better and more fun than any of the classic 2d MK games. There's still some flaws, though. Shao Khan and Noob Saibot are still pretty cheap. But hey, I've been able to beat Shao Khan with every character thus far. In MK3/UMK3 I couldn't even get past Motaro. Not to mention the AI in the classic MK games could be cheap as hell and even cheat, not just the bosses.

I'd love to give MKX a try sometime, but my PC can't run it and the port has quite some mixed reviews. Oh well.

When you become bored with MK9, try out the Bosses mod before you quit it entirely. I found it rather amusing playing as Goro, Motaro & Shao Khan... their fatalities are decent too. Granted, you're practically unstoppable playing as them but it's still worth trying out for a laugh.
