Fuck... People are saying it's the new abomination Freddy... I just thought it was art style, same as using a second glove...

I can pretend it's the real deal, right?

Rumour is Jason isn't too far behind.

You do. It's absolute quality. I have an asian version of the game and the US DLC still works with it too.

Thumbs was trying to twist my arm at lunch about a month ago. All he had to tell was there was a Romero inspired zombie level with Mr Englund in it.

So now I own it... *sellout*

seems like a baraka half-breed. With teleport. Fatalities should be good though. My mates are already talking about him using him as a main, but i think he will on be there for wow factor. I like Rain the best so far for the DLC (Skarlet was useless) but as i don't use any of these toons for my main it makes no difference to me.

Ed Boon has said the inspiration for adding Freddy Krueger to Mortal Kombat as a DLC character was because NetherRealm wanted to add a famous character into the series that fit with the overall theme.

Speaking with the PS Blog, Boon said Freddy “makes sense,” and that the team also looked at other horror characters such as Jason and Michael Meyers.

“Freddy Kreuger, we felt, was the most instantly recognizable and he fits in with Mortal Kombat with his claws,” said Boon. “ It just seemed like the best fit.”

Boon went on to say the team didn’t want him to resemble actor Robert Englund so much, and didn’t even if it would be allowed or not; however, since the movies starring the scarred nightmare terrorist “were huge,” the team decided making the MK Freddy as close to the original character from the 80s as possible.

The character will make use of swipes in the game with his large claws, can send them “creepy-crawling on the ground or flying through the air,” and he can also dig into the ground and the claws will come up under his opponent. There’s “plenty of dream-related stuff,” in his introduction animation, as well as his victory stance, and his fatalities.

So it's not the new abomination Freddy afterall and just a bit of "artistic freedom" based around Englund after all. I'm down with that. Hopefully there'll be a classic skin option at some point.

Don't know why they were worried about using his likeness though. Freddy is owned by New Line, who is owned by Warner Bros. Surely they wouldn't even need to pay a cent to use the proper Freddy look as well as borrow some lines from the movies?

Last night I bought, played, conquered and grinned.

At first he feels a little like a well contructed user mod, with the slightly different look and the two gloves, but the real Freddy comes through. This is not based of the "remake" abomination at all, as the inspirations for his animations and moves are clearly from the real deal. I swear some the regular moves are copied clean from Freddy vs Jason as well. Love what they did with naming his special moves too, all from famous Freddy quotes like "Kung Fu this, Bitch!" My only disappointment being the lack of a voice other than his trademark sinister chuckle.

Play wise, he's a little different, but lethal and fun once you get the hang of him. Doesn't take too long.

His ending made me giddy like a school girl. Nice little bit of fan service.

As for the COD zombie level - That is the coolest thing to come out of that thrashed franchise since COD2! Bought the game, downloaded the add-on, and that's the one level I've been playing on it. Zombie George is AWESOME!

You can kill George??? I thought his purpose was just to keep you moving and he is invincible. I quickly stopped shooting at him once I learned what pissing him off does.
