    Ultimate Mortal Kombat is definitely a worthy pickup for any fan of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. The game plays just like the original did, down to the moves being faithfully recreated. The graphics are well done, the online play was a great addition and the game is just a joy to play. The inclusion of Puzzle Kombat is nice, to be sure, but the majority of the fun with this game is going to come from beating your friends or the computer senseless in a regular fight. If you...

    If you enjoy ripping people’s heads off, or cracking your mate in the nuts before shoving a fireball up his ass, several men dressed in white lab coats will be seeing you very shortly. In the meantime, why don’t you pick up a DS and a copy of Ultimate Mortal Kombat to quench your thirst for ruthless bloodletting? If you are looking for mindless violence on the DS, look no further than Ultimate Mortal Kombat . Back in glory days when the arcade fighting game scene was... Read more

    Playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat makes me wish I could travel back in time and show it to the thirteen-year-old me. Once upon a time, my friends and I predicted that one day, there would be a home console that would look and sound even better than the arcade machines… and you wouldn’t have to blow into the game cartridge to make them work. Well, we’re there. We’re in the future. We don’t have to go to the mall or swap our dollar bills for quarters. Ultimate... Read more

    The online play mixed with the fact that this is on a portable game system are basically the only reasons to pick this up. Diehard MK fans will get the most out of this game for nostalgia purposes alone. There really isn't anything new here outside of the online play except for the minor tweaks that allow you to save rewards. It really is the best version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 if you're looking for a good port of just UMK3 and not Mortal Kombat Trilogy - Mortal... Read more

    As a fan of the Mortal Kombat Series, I was excited about Ultimate Mortal Kombat before it was released back in 2006. The series had evolved from a fairly simple fighting game, to influence music, movies, and gamers of every generation. It ... Read more
