    just noticed that Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 had made its way to TOP 10!
    To be frank, i am not fond of this kind of games. it doesn't matter here.
    my question is, yesterday it ranked round TOP 40 or so. how come within one day, its sales was so boosted like on a rocket?
    my guesses are:
    1, EA made some promotion that i did not mentioned(not counting the 0.99 promotion)
    2,somehow people's enthusiasm on this game outbursted
    3,it's fake(least possible but i prefer leave it here)

    how do you guys feel? sometimes the rankin change in app store is really hard to understand!

    I think it's number 1. Probably Apple's recalculation of rankings is imperfects but it's always been believable for me (that said, my experience is not yet a week old!)

    its the 99cents sale combined with Mortal Kombats's brand value.

    Right. Behind. You.
    Dude, it's a computerized thing. The iTunes store knows how many people clicked that "Buy" button.

    It can never be fake that would be illegal. Not to mention how Mortal Kombat is one of the bigger brands in the 90s. Besides it isn't bad of a game. I bet many of us who used to spent $0.50-$1.00 per game at the arcade playing Mortal Kombat would pick this one up instantly at $1.00. This is a "can't go wrong" price.

    Ho my, I was just reading a thread and because of your post I have now some wish to buy a game I didn't want buy at all. Ha well never enjoyed that sort of games, nor Mortal Kombat 1, only Samurai Showdown remind me some fun, not sure why.

    actually, the 1st time i played the game i was 12 years old and was crazy for fight games. in my opinion, this game can't be compared with the KOF series and SF series, both for system and character design.
    now i finally noticed that players from the States like it so much...i'll try revisiting it.

    I picked it up on launch full price and I've never really liked mortal kombat very much I could hold my own in the arcades but only played it if I couldn't get near a street fighter machine. Really miss Raiden though it was great fun teleporting all over the screen and zapping people he's actually the very first character I would have put in.

    That said if you have the patience to learn all a characters moves and fatalitys etc you could do a lot worse it's not exactly tekken 6 though.
