Graphics: Good - 6.5/10 Sound: Good - 7/10 Gameplay: Good - 7.5/10 Replay Value: Good – 7.5/10 Overall: Good – 7/10 Graphics: Good 6.5/10 The graphics are clean and crisp, however, they do not take full advantage of the next generation hardware. The models are well down and the movements true to the MK series. The DC characters (especially The Joker) are well done and provide a good visual crossover. The backgrounds are basic, and were an after thought. Sound: Good – 7/10 It is what you come to expect from a Mortal Kombat fighting game. In depth sound effects and background clashes and music soundtrack are decent. Gameplay: Good - 7.5/10 Smooth animations, and a great return to the MK series. This is probably the best iteration since Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. This gets back to the basic combat and really looks at making it an enjoyable experience. The combat can seem a bit slow, but the ease of pulling off moves, combined with the crossover gameplay and online modes, make this a worthy step in the MK Universe of fighting. Replay Value: Good – 7.5/10 The single player story mode, though interesting, is short, even considering playing both sides. The lack of extras or inclusion of things found in MK games in the past, really take away from the single player experience. The multiplayer is the real reason to buy this game, and it is the only reason to own this game. The matches are fun, and they keep you coming back. Overall: Good – 7/10 By no means is this a bad game, but in the Fall release of 2008, with such big titles, it fails to pack a punch. This may have done better as a Spring/Summer release. Please know that I am a MK faithful, and I love it. Looking at this from a non-biased standpoint, it is hard to argue being a true standout. This Mortal Kombat iteration was geared to appeal to the mass audiences. Taking away much of the violence and brutal fatalities to get a T for Teen rating, takes away a lot what the MK brand was. In the early 90’s, Mortal Kombat pushed the edge, and this version plays it safe to sell copies of games. With other fighting games such as Virtua Fighter 5, Soul Caliber 4, and the up and coming Street Fighter 4, this fails to deliver graphically and in the gameplay department. Once you get past “Batman is fighting Sub-Zero – awesome” moments, not much is left. This game is short, so be prepared. The single player experience lacks the extras and unlockables, and lowers the replay value.Read full review
story mode good first time through but for the other squad of characters is pretty much the same. controls are near perfect but the kombos in kombo challenge are close to impossible to pull off. graphics are top notch and pretty thanks to the unreal engine. Haven't tryed online yet but am sure it plays smoothly but some characters are flawed. Kollector's edition is an ok buy the comic and bonus disc had a few things that were interesting about the game and pretty box design. The main attraction to the kollector's edition is the art print but is nothing very special. Funniest thing about the game is completing the the hardest difficulty with Shao Kahn and getting a gold psn trophy wasn't very challenging if you know how to use your characters.
Always been a MK fan. The combination of MK and DC was a very unique concept, and seems to have been pulled off pretty well with this game. Could probably use more characters. The Teen rating definitely hurts it a little as far as what hardcore fans would expect from a Mortal Kombat game. The Kollector's Edition extras are a great plus, especially for those who are into that kind of stuff.
This was an awesome game i just wish it had some of the old skool MK kats like Kung Lao, Goro, and Saleena. It also cold have used some of the almost always forgotten Heroes like Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, and the never credited sidekicks. other then those few things i give it 4 out of 5 stars.
I LIKE THE CAMERA ANGLES, THE CONTROL AND THE GRAPHICS. I DECIDE TO BUY IT BECAUSE I HAVE ALL THE MORTAL KOMBAT GAMES. I'M PLAYED THE MK SERIES SINCE 1993.
The game play is great, graphics are even better if not the best Mortal Kombat Yet!!!!!! A Must have for any Mortal Kombat or DC fan.
this game has it all, fatalities, heroic brutality. and mortal kombat can own dc universe! enough said!
Awesome game, trophies easy ,
i love DC superheroes, but the choice of characters for this game is strange. mortal kombat, i know little about! sufficive to say this is a run of the mill game. only if you are super fans of both teams - will you really like this game!
