Hmm. Let's hope so... because I wouldn't mind better acting. Language
options would be nice too. lol.

That'll probably change. According to the MKast, which is a new MK
dedicated podcast they're publishing now, the dev team is hiring
professional voice actors for the game.

The only gripe I have about that is MK isn't very famous for its voice
acting. lol.

Here's some interesting news on the mk DC game. From what I've heard and
some speculation as well, the MK story mode will be totally accessible.
you'll basically pick a character to start it off with, then you just
fight different characters and the stoy mode will progress with
cutscenes etc. pretty neat if you ask me.

Hi Lindsay,
I guess it really depends on what you view as accessible, and how much
work you are willing to put into practicing the game to make it
playable by you.
For example the fighting games like Mortal Kombat are all fairly
accessible once you memorize the menus, and have another blind or
sighted gamer walk you through it a couple of times.
The WWE wrestling games like WWE Smackdown vs Raw are accessible once
you learn the different moves, sounds, and memorize a few things.
Brandon Coal has a podcast around somewhere on WWE Smackdown VS Raw,
and it is a great introduction into the wrestling games for the PS2 and
PSP.
The Tomb Raider series of games I really like aren't accessible as
such, but can be played with some sighted asistance. I have however
discovered some tips and tricks that helps me get around in the games.
For example, as long as I keep Lara Croft in walk mode I won't fall off
of ledges, buildings, etc. I can walk her right up to an edge, she will
stop, and then I can use the reverse safety drop command to safely turn
her around and have her drop to the ground below. It took me lots and
lots of practice. As far as jumping over stuff I try to time the jump
by counting the time I have Lara in the air. Still some guess work
involved, but I can usually do it if I am consistent about counting the
time. I wouldn't recommend something as complex as TR for your first
PS2 game.
Like I said if you really want something somewhat easy to learn and
play try a fighting game like Mortal Kombat or similar as a start.
Those you can get the hang of fairly quickly. As for other games I
suggest renting them and trying them out before you actually buy it to
see if it is somewhat playable or not.
