    Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is a throwback to earlier versions of the Mortal Kombatt series and that is meant as a complement. The seemingly ill-fitting DC Heroes and Villains mesh nicely with the Mortal Kombat characters, creating an interesting back story and lets the gamer get their fight on. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe provides enough variety and action to let the casual gamer enjoy the Mortal Kombat franchise, while providing classic Mortal Kombat gameplay for... Read more

    To cut a long story short, this certainly won't be the game to help Midway get through its financial crisis. However, it's comforting to know that the developers behind MK won't be affected by the company's difficulties. So, here's looking at a better sequel, perhaps. Read more

    Midway beglückt uns mit einer erneuten Ausgabe von Mortal Kombat und packte gleich die Superhelden der DC Comics bei. Eigentlich keine schlechte Idee, wobei es aber an der Umsetzung scheiterte, da einerseits zu wenig Charaktere in das Spiel eingebunden wurde, andererseits die Storyline kaum was hergibt. Die Steuerung ist simpel und stellt auch für Anfänger kein Problem dar. Die Kämpfer sind detailliert gestaltet, bieten aber sonst wenig Abwechslung. Genauso die... Read more

    "Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe" isn’t going to satisfy those seeking a deep title in the genre, although those who like their fighting games to go a little easier on their fingers, or those who just like bashing faces in, will find plenty to enjoy here. Read more

    The combat system, oh, excuse me, "kombat system" in MK vs DC is very fun and I have a feeling that fans of the 2-D MKs will find something to enjoy here. It mixes in the same feel that Mortal Kombat 3 had with its focus on juggling while maintaining an overall 3-D feel much like in the more recent MKs. Even though the trademark violence has been toned down from this MK it still has just about all the same content that an MK fan would expect. The DC characters provide a... Read more

    too basic no intense fatality seems got traded in for a teen rating. its ok for the casual gamer. how ever for a hardcore MK fan it was rather disappointing. Bring on Soul Kalibur Read more

    I was all hype about purchasing this game when I first heard about its arrival. I was expecting a much better display of gameplay than that which was produced. It has great graphics, interesting attacks, and realistic stages. It was too much of a rush job over all and needs alot more tweaking in my opinion. It's great to have if your collecting Mortal Kombat games, but I personally wouldn't recommend buying it. Read more or see product

    I'm going to be honest:  for a while, I was obsessed with this game.  I forget the reasons why I first picked it up, but I'm certainly glad I did. The concept is fairly self-explanatory in the title, but a little strange for the reasons why it happens.  There is a story, but it sucks, but has anyone ever played a fighting game for the story?  Now that would be a concept....  Anyways, you progress through a ladder of opponents just like in the old games (at least in...

    Mortal Kombat 3d games have been a little dissapointing and all hopes lie on the latest title Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe. Gameplay: The gameplay in the game is phenominal and follows the tradition 3d fighter round arena where you can sidestep as well as go forward and back. The fighting is great and a lot simpler than Soul Calibur 4 which is good and bad. There are some really cool moves and some just plain lame ones but overall the moves average out and it creates...
