Criticising MKVSDCU for not being as in depth and rewarding a fighter as, say, Street Fighter IV, seems a little unfair, since they're so different they're almost not in the same genre. We had a blast playing the game here in the office, with almost everyone gathering to watch. But it is an inferior fighting game, no matter how oddly compelling it is to see two sets of fictional characters clash in such improbable circumstances. Think of it like this, if Street Fighter...

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Given the way the last few MK games have gone in terms of redesigning the core concepts of the fighting and presenting a cast of characters that weren't as memorable as the ones that debuted back in the 2D days, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe feels like the refreshing start of a new era for Midway's fighting series.

If you're still in doubt I would surely suggest renting it before you buy but if you're not a real fan you can just as well let this one laying on store shelves. Read more

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

W hen I attended GAMES 08 a few weeks back, I had the pleasure of sitting through Midway’s presentation of their upcoming games. Through there were some great looking titles to come, nothing could have prepared me for what they demonstrated last – Mortal Kombat vs. DC. Not since Marvel Vs. Capcom has there been such a fantastic cross-over game. The graphics and gameplay in the demo looked great, and the line up of characters was impressive. So naturally, when I... Read more
