Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - Xbox 360

Outside of the fundamental approach to the casual 3D fighting style of Mortal Kombat there were several unique qualities added into the mix that brought some sparkle to the platform. One such mark of interest was the fact that you can ram opponents through obstacles and battle mash your buttons in a struggle to reduce or reverse damages. The game definitely has its moments where the intelligence of the game developers surfaces and it isn't too shabby. Essentially, I am a fan of Batman, Mortal Kombat (primarily the character Scorpion), and fighting games in general. The fact that game comes off a bit dry at times really doesn't hinder me while playing due to the fact that there are hidden characters and the like as incentive to stay somewhat focused. I, however, cannot confirm but, suspect that when the appeal of the hidden "easter-eggs" has worn down the game's re-playability will take a fatal head dive to the mat. It is fun for the sake of having a Mortal Kombat cross-over especially considering that the D.C. character line-up: The Flash, the Joker, Batman, Cat-woman; etc. are all well done, all faithfully reproduced, and in strong character. The MK characters that you would demand be present are all there with the same being so for the D.C. Universe line-up. The game has dropped dramatically in price, covers a niche pretty well, has strong Mortal Kombat fighting mechanics and no chump character line-ups. So, if you like fighters, have a few bucks burning a hole in your pocket, and enjoy twisted cross-over style games then this title will probably satisfy your urge. For the money I shelled out for the game, getting it brand new, and the details I explained above I have to rate this title pretty well.

Amazing game

I haven't played a Mortal Kombat game since winter of 95' which was UMK3. I read most of the reviews on this game which were negative just because the lack of blood/gore which doesn't make a game good nor bad in my opinion. So I took a chance and gave it a try. Interesting enough the graphics are amazing and the game play is fun even though I don't particular like the combo system. The combos only seem to require a little bit of timing at the beginning and then the rest is input in sequence no matter what is happening on screen. It took me a little while to figure this aspect out which makes no sense at all and may drive you crazy. I absolutely love the air combat stuff ... now that's what I call fun ... lol. The story line & combos make this game a treat to play and highly recommend giving it a try ... it's definitely worth adding to your library of games. Sure, I also would've liked to seen some hardcore fatalities but it's still fun to play without them and we have MK9 to look forward too.

I have lots of experience with the game from a friend so I know I love the game! It is extremely fun and entertainingly graphic. The different moves from the characters makes this one of the games that a girl who enjoys action could really enjoy watching someone play or playing. I can't wait to own it. But... I received the game once and it didn't work. So, I sent it back and talked to the seller who agreed to send me a refund unless he found a new copy. He then told me a found one and sent it to me. It's been over 2 months now and I still have not received the game. I contacted the seller again and told him and he has only apologized that it never reached me but says he can't do anything about it. I guess I wasted my money and I don't even want to fight over the measly dollars. However, this one did turn out to be a bad purchase.

First off, let me start by saying I'm a former comic book nerd. I still enjoy the classics, and that's what you're getting here. Names that just about everyone outside of the genre has heard of; Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, The Joker. A few are a bit more random, like Deathstroke the Terminator. But, you'll have that in a game with lots of characters. Over on the Mortal Kombat side, they also went with the safe bet and gave us most of the fan favorites. I have been underwhelmed with most of the Mortal Kombat stuff that has been thrown out there in the last seven or eight years, but I found this game to be a delight. It's easy to learn, it has a bunch of characters, but not enough to make it impossible to get good at a majority of them, and, if you waited till now to pick it up, it's pretty darn cheap. If you're reading reviews, that means you're at least thinking about buying this game. Stop now, and buy it. It's worth your money, if only for the lovely chaos that is The Joker. Seriously, just say "Boxing Glove Gun" out loud, and you know you'll want this. Gameplay is good, graphics are good, sound's alright, characters are well-chosen and diverse enough to please even the more picky of fighting game enthusiasts. There's no bonus content, though. There's a story behind all that, but if you care all that much, google it.
