   Second definitely works better. Probably needs a little editing though to fit it in a bit better, but yes, definitely better.

   I think the second video defies the whole point of the ad. You get all the mysterious build-up not knowing what’s going on. If you know it’s a MK ad in the first three notes, the hook is gone.

      I agree.
      Unfortunately the MK theme is NOT Guile’s street fighter theme, and does not go with everything.

   It’s amazing that all these years later, that track is still the best. No matter how much grittier the MK series becomes, THAT is the MK theme.

   Mortal Kombat OST is still one of the greatest soundtracks ever put together imo

      Agreed – still have this CD and also “More Kombat” a random compilation album of songs “inspired” by the first movie apparently lol – I have a hard time believing that but Sepultura’s Chaos B.C. is rad nontheless.

   I don’t think the action in the video was high paced enough for the mortal kombat song at all. SOAD suited it better, although I think it was chopped and mixed poorly.

   Personally I think “A Taste of Things to Come” would suit the suspenseful nature of the ad better

   Something from the Fallout 3 sound track would have sufficed.

    To be honest I don’t like either of them. Although the second track fits much better.
