    The short length of play time as Dante makes it seems like this should have just been an offshoot of the Devil May Cry franchise. The repetition of both levels and bosses knocks it down a peg. However Devil May Cry 4 is a very good game. Fans of the series will love it and play it through the five levels of difficulty attempting to get the highest score possible for a long time to come.

    Armageddon is undeniably one of the deepest most robust fighters I've laid my hands on in quite some time, and would be a welcomed addition to any fighting-fan's library despite its problems. Read more

    • Gesture-based controls, Enormous roster set
    • Lack of an online mode, No character-specific fatalities

    Bloodthirsty gamers, rejoice! There's finally a decent fighting game on the Nintendo Wii. Read more

    • Easy-to-learn control scheme; classic controller support; tons of unlockables.
    • Lacks online multiplayer; remote gestures don't always work; no signature fatalities.

    Overall, Mortal Kombat Armageddon is a little better than your average port. The Wii controls work pretty well and the game has always been a solid gaming experience. With the inclusion of the Wii-only Khameleon and the tons of replayability the game offers, fans of the series have a lot to be thankful for, but only if they haven't already played the PS2 or Xbox versions to death.

    A fun but flawed 3D fighter, equally suited to venting rage or sparking it. Read more

    • Great brutal fighting, a nicely customizable kreate-a-fighter feature, and a surprisingly awesome Motor Kombat mini-game.
    • The story was written by a baboon with a feather duster impaled through its neurocranium, and Konquest Mode is about as fun as waiting in line at the DMV with an itchy...

    Mortal Kombat has long been a controversial game. Ever since its release back in 1992, the game has drawn the ire of parents and politicians alike. Perhaps fearing a backlash, Nintendo forced the SNES version to not include blood due to the family friendly image they wanted to portray. I guess you can say it was one of the more fatal mistakes Nintendo made at the time to alienate mature gamers. Read more

    If you own one of the last-gen versions of this game, you may be hard pressed to purchase this title, but a rental is definitely worth is just to experience the change in controls. If you never purchased the other versions, then this one is the one to get. Read more

    Mortal Kombat Armageddon remains a standard fighter with a twist. The control is the real star here, and the huge roster of fighters is a treat for the fans of the series. While the game is effective and plays great, you can’t help but feel like you have been there before. The extra modes are good for a time, but the novelty quickly wears off. If you liked the previous games in the series, then I can’t see a reason why you wouldn’t want this one. Read more

    The Mortal Kombat series is traditional pretty cut and dry....the difference with the Wii version is you kind HAVE to use the nunchuk (which, with first use, is VERY awkward)....but once you get into the groove of it, it's VERY exciting!! ALOT of new characters (mostly feminine versions of the male warriors (i.e. Read more or see product

    I wish there was a way of playing Konquest mode with another character. I like the Death Traps in teh various fight arenas. Read more

    • Fun game, with several game modes. Many of the typical button combos for special moves in non-Wii MK games, are now replaced with Wii remote/Nunchuck motions, as well ...
    • Konquest mode can be a little monotonous at times, and one part in particular (Shao Kahn Statue) was TOTALLY frustrating. small issues overall though.

    I would just like to start off by saying that I am new to both the Nintendo Wii and Mortal Komat so please bear with me if I dont get all of the technical terms correct. I bought Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for £29.98 on amazon, and I must say it was well worth it! Being new to the Wii I thought I would buy a basic game that almost anybody can play - Fighting.

    • Not just one type of game play, create your own characters, kicking your m8s ass!
    • Cant play online, only one character for the story mode (Konquest)

    MKA is a welcome addition to the Mortal Kombat Franchise. Having over 60 characters to choose from. There is a character for everyone's liking in the game, so you can play as your favourite character and beat the hell out of everything in the game. If you get bored of fighting, you can have a go on the Motor Kombat. Choose from 10 characters and race along 5 different tracks. Using the Wii remote on MKA does take some getting use too.
