вЂњWe know turn-around kicks are an essential ingredient this time,вЂќ Boon told me.

Judging by my hands-on time, turn-around kicks - a staple of the classic games but downplayed in later entries - are back in full force. A standout example lies in the glorious return of the turn-around kick, which is a powerful juggle combo starter where you jump over an opponent and kick after you clear his shoulder. The action is fast and satisfying, with a 2D, side-scrolling feel thatвЂ™s much closer in spirit to MKII or MK3. Gameplay-wise, the Mortal Kombat demo is loaded with special attacks, combos, juggles, and ultra-powerful X-ray attacks that will leave your opponents reeling (and your stomach heaving). If youвЂ™re not wearing glasses, the 3D backgrounds will look a bit blurry but the characters will appear crisp and clean. This is a handy detail if youвЂ™re playing with a group on a 3D TV and find yourself short of 3D glasses - everyone will be able to play and watch whether they wear 3D glasses or not. вЂњOur 3D implementation makes the characters pop from the background a little more, and helps you focus on them.вЂќ By rendering the fighters in 2D for its stereoscopic 3D mode, Mortal KombatвЂ™s action remains visible even if youвЂ™re not wearing 3D glasses.

вЂњWe didnвЂ™t want 3D to change the basic mechanics or complicate things needlessly,вЂќ Mortal Kombat creative director and series co-creator Ed Boon told me.

Stereoscopic 3D lends an impressive sense of grandeur and scope - the environments seem to stretch on into infinity but donвЂ™t distract from the fighting. Mortal KombatвЂ™s stereoscopic 3D viewing mode is exclusive to the PS3, and I was lucky enough to try it on a massive 60вЂ™вЂ™ 3D Sony Bravia.

YouвЂ™ll also get two environments: The Living Forest and The Pit, complete with its gruesome stage fatality. Hollywood prima donna Johnny Cage hits below the belt, and sai-wielding mutant assassin Mileena makes no effort to hide her gleaming five-inch fangs. Fan-favorite Scorpion is nastier than ever, packing his trademark throwing spear (вЂњGet over here!вЂќ) and a wicked new sword, while rival ninja Sub-Zero forges weapons from ice and shatters internal organs with a touch. The demo comes with four playable fighters: Johnny Cage, Mileena, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. All other PSN users will be able to download the demo on Tuesday, March 15th.

PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting early access this coming Tuesday, March 8th ( March 9th in the EU) and itвЂ™ll be delivered directly to your PS3 as long as you enable Automatic Downloads in your XMB settings.

Comprised of four characters and two stages, the demo is a meaty preview of what to expect when the full game hits PS3 on April 19th (April 21st in the EU). I have played the Mortal Kombat PSN demo, and it is good. The sickening crunch of Scorpion stomping your rib cage while an X-ray view displays the internal damage in real time. The smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Sometimes, life is about the simple pleasures.
