Mortal Kombat: Armageddon features every MK character ever conceived, resulting in a total of sixty characters. This was a rather ambitious undertaking for Ed Boon and his team, but also before the series moves onto the next generation it’s a rather fitting swansong for the franchise on current generation machines.

Quantity over quality is stressed here as we see more characters, more modes, more unlockables, and more Mortal Kombat than ever before. Read more
- Tons of characters, tons of unlockables, enough Mortal Kombat content to make any MK fan happy.
- All that extra stuff feels like fluff, the rally racing mode is pointless and boring, the MK characters are starting to look corny.

Well, it didn't really convince me, this Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Graphically it certainly isn't a bad game but the way the characters move, added with the lack in variation made that what should have become revolutionary changes to the Mortal Kombat franchise in the end look like nothing more than options you skip.

The arcade rooms were never the same after 1992, when the first Mortal Kombat surfaced, becoming an instant hit. Midway's creation quickly became a franchise and lots of ports, sequels and remakes were done to pay tribute to the god of the fighting games genre. Read more
- Very entertaining fighting game, Fun Motor Kombat mode, Lots of fighters and customized characters
- Boring storyline, Konquest is short and has bad AI

Armageddon aims to be the best in the series, and though it doesn't quite reach that milestone, there's no denying the game's appeal. Read more
- 60+ characters to choose from, Kreate-a-fighter
- What's with Motaro only having two legs?, No character-specific fatalities

Looking at the ERSB rating of games today brings to mind the original Mortal Kombat, a game I played on my Sega Genesis as a young kid. It was great watching the gore and blood spraying all over the screen as my friends and I battled it out, finishing off one another with gruesome fatalities. The first three Mortal Kombat games were the best entertainment when it came to two-player fighters, bringing about some of the first avocations against violence in video games. Read more

Blood, guts, gore, and Karnage. Mortal Kombat has been around the block and back, and it's still kickin' (and punching, lopping your head off, and pulverizing you beneath giant metal hammers). Mortal Kombat: Armageddon keeps the legend alive. Rock on. Peace and love. All seriousness aside, this version is just as enjoyable, and, yes, even more so than the original (aside from the annoying trademark "K" misspellings that always pepper the entire game). Read more

I’ve been a fan of Mortal Kombat for quite some time. When I heard they were making another game I was excited. When I heard that it would include every fighter in the MK universe I was ecstatic. When I heard it was called Armageddon because it would tie up many loose ends and finish off many characters I was elated. Read more

There are some franchises that have this mythical aura about them; this legendary mystique that only a select few big names can claim. Read more

QuickView Good: Ridiculously huge amount of characters Bad: Terrible new fatality system, Chess and Puzzle Kombat replaced by inferior Motor Kombat, no significant gameplay updates MIA: Smoke's retarded "blow up the world" fatality from MK3 I'm probably a bigger Mortal Kombat fan than anyone you've ever met, a claim that I can back up with the original MKII arcade machine sitting behind me in my apartment.
