It's the most balanced MK game so far. Of course, that's not saying much. Unfortunately, all the game will amount to competitively is trading blockstrings until you can use X-Ray.
I've been massive obsessed with Sektor since I was ten (I came across MK3 at that age) - as long as the game gets Sektor right, I won't be disappointed. ;P From all that I've seen, I'm gonna love it
