He’s got some really cool thematic moves that really make you feel like a jungle survivor – he can set claymores, spike traps and pull M60s that are hidden in foliage in order to bring the pain to his foes.

Thankfully, Rambo actually feels alright. Yes, John bloody Rambo, who’s voiced by Sly Stallone himself! It’s actually quite risky business adding guest characters to fighting games, because it’s a 50/50 toss up whether or not they will feel at home in the universe they’ve been plonked into. OK, so Sonic doesn’t go quite that far, but you get the idea.įinally, we have Rambo as a guest character. It has Mileena turn herself into a spinning death wheel and go all Sonic the Hedgehog on her opponent, slicing them in twain in the most brutal way possible, posing for victory with viscera hanging off her.

Her finisher, Spinning Out of Control, is probably my favourite of the new batch. It’s going to take time for people to get good with her, though. I feel with time and experimentation she has the potential to be a go-to, top tier character with a great mix up game. I really like her move set, but it was slightly frustrating that a lot of her immediately useful combos only used one of her moves, the Ball Roll. They’re all the better to bite her opponents faces off. She is as brutal as ever, utilising her deadly sai and taking every opportunity she can to use that lovely set of teeth she has. Her absence from the main roster was a curious one, but it’s good to see her here. Mileena is a character that’s almost too good to not be in an Mortal Kombat game.
