What the difference between 360 and PS3 versions?
http://attackofthefanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Kratos-MK93.jpg
PS3 version has Kratos and his stage,while 360 has nothing until now.
This Mortal Kombat is the 9th in it's franchise,and it's Mortal Kombat 1,2and 3 remake with some new changes [New Modes,characters and a change in the story mode].
Ok,now I will cover every mode in this game without spoiling things.
GAMEPLAY In General:
Mortal Kombat (1,2,3,(Ultimate and Trilogy) were 2D fighting game,while Mortal Kombat (4 Deadly Alliance,Deception and Armageddon)were 3D Fighting game as for the Cross-Over Game Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe was a 3D fighting game as well.
The Command List in Mortal Kombat has some easy and hard inputs and that depend on the character's command list,it has "Normal Attacks","Special Attacks","X-Ray Attack" and "Fatalities",Let explain each one of them:
1)Normal Attacks: from its name,normal attacks are the attacks which can be done by pressing http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/square18x18.pnghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/Cross18x18.pnghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/circle18x18.pnghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/Triangle18x18.png and you can chain them to create a combo,what I really like about this game that you can create your own combo [you dont need to learn from other people].
2)Special Attacks: Special attacks are the attacks which are special [loool kidding :P],these attacks are like "hadouken","Shoryuken" ..etc from Street Fighter series,each character will have his\her own special attack,let take Scorpion for an Example:
Spear Attack: http://i50.tinypic.com/11kbjnk.gif,http://i50.tinypic.com/11kbjnk.gif,http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/square18x18.png
http://www.ng4a.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/MK9_360_ScorpionVsCage_Drag_Coliseum_WEB1.jpg
Hell Fire Attack: http://i46.tinypic.com/fvitqw.gif,http://i50.tinypic.com/11kbjnk.gif,http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/Triangle18x18.png
and you can enhance your Special Attacks by pressing R2 the same time while performing the special attack,see the differences between Normal and Special Attacks ?

3)X-Ray Attack: This attack is like Super attacks from SF,MVC ..etc,you can only perform this attack by maxing the super gauge
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpRpIhKzLiQ&feature=related
4)Fatality: who doesn't know what that means in Mortal Kombat games :P ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY7b9Az6NGY&feature=relmfu
every character will have 2 fatalities,stage fatality and babality, except [Scorpion,Sub-Zero and Reptile] they have 3 fatalities and those fatalities comes with their PRE-Order Bonuses,dont worry they will be available in the future.
anyway Fatalities input are usually strange but not hard,and yeah I forgot to mention that some fatalities require a position,let me explain that:
1)some fatalities can be done at very close range. "Scorpion first fatality"
2)some can be done with being little far from opponent. "Noob Saibot first fatality"
3)some can be done with being too far from the opponent [you must be stuck of the end of the stage] "Sektor's first fatality"
and for stages fatalities,not all stages have a fatality,and about babalities they are hidden you must look for them using the internet.
Now that ends the gameplay in general.
now let begin at the main menu and explaining each mode:
