  1. Daft, lightweight, retro scrapper lifts gloom on a dark knight

    As a beat-’em-up, it pales next to the complex hit systems and frame-buffering of games such as Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur and SFIV. Mortal Kombat’s moves are comparatively limited and annoyingly difficult to pull off in some cases. Even the graphics aren’t quite up to par – despite running on the Unreal 3 engine, it all looks very pixilated and oddly plasticky. What it does do better than most other fighting games is provide a terrific piece of fan service,... Read more

    We've had a blast playing MK vs. DC Universe, despite its uninspired storyline. Read more

    Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (Kollector's Edition) is fun and a solid entry into the franchise, but I doubt many folks will find it entertaining past a rental. Casual players will punch through the storyline before burning out after getting stumped by one or two Kombo Challenges, while Mortal Kombat fans will have trouble accepting the toned down Fatalities and somewhat slower gameplay. In short, this game's fun, but its legs probably can't carry it beyond the whole... Read more

    Video game crossovers are by no means a new or rare thing. We had Robocop facing down the Terminator on the early Sega Mega drive. More recently we’ve seen Mario and Sonic go head to head at the Olympics and the superheroes from the Marvel universe battling the characters from Capcom’s creations. The question concerning this latest crossover fighting game is: can it really compete with the scope of the large FPS or adventure games with all they have to offer? The... Read more

    Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe isn't a bad game; it's just too hard to justify buying when much better titles already exist. Read more

    The game was in the old Mortal Combat fighting mode with a little Tekken slipped right in.  Mortal Kombat games have been known as much for their over-the-top gore as for their gameplay, and for those fans who feel this is a major part of ... Read more

    I have been a fan of the Mortal games for a long time, when I heard that the mortal Kombat and the DC universe are coming together for a fighting game I was so hyped and couldn't wait for the release of this game, There is twenty two characters for you to choose from both universe whether it be Kombat or DC. All the famous faces and my favorite character sub zero are in this game, also scorpion is present and all the major faces from Kombat. From the DC side we have... Read more
