The folks over at G4 got their hands on a newer build (than what has been seen in game shows recently) of Mortal Kombat on their long-running preview and review show X-Play. Veteran Adam Sessler sits down with series co-creator and project lead Ed Boon to discuss some of the finer points of the gameplay.

Nothing new is revealed as Boon and Sessler discuss topics from Mortal Kombat's return to the 2D plane, guest-star Kratos [full story] and the game's super meter which grants access to enhanced special moves (which Boon stated that would compatible with every special in the game), combo breakers and the devastating X-ray moves which are original to each character. On this build of the game, Sonya and Jax were now both playable and the video's main feature showed off Sonya's never-before-seen X-ray move. Mortal Kombat's first heroine's X-ray is an homage to her neck break of arch-nemesis Kano in the first Mortal Kombat movie. She then continues through with her upwards bicycle kick before finally flipping her opponent over with a hurricanrana which smashes their skull into the ground.

Check out the video embedded above or over on G4.

Ed later posted on his Twitter account, challenging MK fans to "find the new character reveal" somewhere in the video. Is there something more hidden inside the frames of the gameplay? Be sure to let us know in this thread!
