Wow, between this and Goro, I'm just full of anger tonight, apparently lol.

No, this level was horrible. I'm still of the belief that all of the arenas in the game should fit a certain style, whether it's dark/medieval, ancient/asian etc, there should be a common link between the arenas, or else for me at least, everything just feels like it was thrown in to a blender and spat out. It takes me out of the game.

But yeah, a bright, pretty tropical island? No. I dark island where trees are snakes? No.

Just, no.

VERDICT: GONE. This arena does not at all belong in a Mortal Kombat game. Not one bit.

i think that this arena had potential but like reptile said they executed it the wrong way. if they changed the goofiness and made it more chaotic-like and less pirates of the caribbean it might be more fitting. also i agree that it was a small arena...make it a bit bigger aswell. i may be one of the few that actually liked this arena. i say stay.

I actually really liked this level.
I loved how it would change between light and dark.
Somethings were dodgy tho like the snake trees and the rubbish stage fatality.
But I'll say STAY because it has so much potential.

too small+poorly executed=GONE!!!

My thoughts exactly. I also thought the constant changing of sunny, and dark made it seem too gimiky, and distracting when I was trying to fight. This is one level that needs to leave and never comback. It doesn't even deserve a reboot.

Goro's Lair from MK1 was the best, MK4 & MKA versions sucked buttocks! IMO.

MK1 Goro's Lair felt more whole whereas the later versions seem like empty bare bones compared.
It's like they used that level as filler instead of making it one of the best.
Also the kicking through the walls became tedious after a while.

If they keep doing what they are doing with Goro's Lair then I say LEAVE.

I think Goro's lair should stay. However, it is kind of plain so I would want it to be a reboot, or I would like it to be one level of the stage. For example-starting out in Goro's lair, and then getting uppercutted to somewhere else.

I wouldn't mind seeing the whole, "uppercut to a new level," thing again.

I always dug this level. It was sort of the "dungeon" of Shang Tsung's island in the first game. It always struck me as being this place that might be underneath the island, you know, hard to get to and even harder to get out of, especially if you're put there.

For a next gen reboot though, it might be somewhat difficult because the level itself is inherently "bare bones" in terms of what's in it. Basically, it's dark stone walls, some bones on the ground here and there, probably a skeleton or two nailed up to the wall and then yellow, blinking eyes in the darkness. That's essentially all it's ever been.

Now, Icebaby also hit the nail on the head. If Goro returns, then bring back this arena. You almost HAVE to. But if Goro's not back? Then they should reboot it, give it a slightly different look and feel and call it "The Cave" or something along those lines.

But yeah, they'll definitely need to do some things to make it feel like more of a completel "level" than what we've seen in the past because I think that the MK team's ability to create newer, more complete arenas has gone past the overall look and feel of this stage.

VERDICT: STAY in some form depending in whether Goro's back or not, but either way it could certainly benefit from a good deal of modernization.

I think whether Goro is back or not, it should be in the game. It's just a cool basic level that has that cool hint of "evil" to it.

i did like this arena quite a bit but i think a new dungeon type arena should be introduced. i say gone...but if Goro returns i could see it returning.

i say gone but have it eventually come back.

hell yah it should return along with the classic dead pool

Goro's Lair. If it's a reboot, sure. If not, I don't think it should return. It has had its time in the limelight (it appeared in 4 of the 7 MK games if I recall correctly). It's time to leave it behind. Besides, according to MKSM, isn't that island destroyed anyway?
