a good fighter

by dababy24 Feb 2, 2010, 8:21 PM PST

lets make this simple:
1) i have no problem with the fatalities in this game. yes i know fans enjoy the gory fun of yore, but lets be honest, it is just a gimic to seperate mk from the pack. true its a really great gimic but nothing wrong with toning it down a little. in fact doing so helps show the game is more than rehashed fan-fare to make a quick buck
2) the dc characters play great, even if some moves and animation is lifted from mk characters. from the looks to the moves it all works within the context
3) the story modes are fun and gives you a chance to try everybody. the story itself is a comic book inspired cross-over tale that to dc fans reads like a elseworld tale
4) online isgood, yet to have a problem
5) kombo challenges suck. ive read guides, seen youtube vids and still struggling to peg them off.
6) lite on bonus content. character endings are simply art with voice over, but even then the endings are fun. seeing how each character made it out was entertaining and made surprising conversation peices with friends who also bought the game

all in all a solid game, has its low points yes, but when really thinking about the time i have put in, the feeling of playing a fighter with dc characters, and the fact it is still a go-to-game at gatherings i give it a steady 4. the next entry - and there should be a next - could rival marvel vs capcom if they put the same effort in and really address what held this game back... the lack of modes, bonus content and kombo challenges that won't inspire throwing a controller on the ground

Well bought the game because the idea of Scorpian and batman wailing on each other was cool....Problem is the Fatalities SUCK!!!! Usually when scorpian lights you on fire you blow up or turn into a skelaton....This was lame your remains were not even charred!! Kind of takes away from the Mortal Kombat feel....I guess its because no one wants to see Batman get his head ripped off or Superman be kissed and then explode...Hate to break it to you DC but MK is an awesome company and to protect the superheros is one thing but to take away what us hardcore MK fans want really puts a damper on the situation....

Still has fun feel to play as your favorite heros and favorite MK characters

Sort of fun

Sort of Fun.
This is an okay game. I have never been a fan of MK but I do like DCU. I was dissapointed of how whenever you win a match in story mode there is a cutseen. Also the graphics arn't anything to praise about. Also the online multiplayer takes patience to get into a match. If there was more time and effort put into this game it would have been a great hit and i probally would have given it 5 stars.

The Game is a Okay

by B-X-T Oct 25, 2009, 7:38 AM PDT

I Love Mortal Kombat ever since I was introduced to it when I was about 5 years old. I Have Always been a Fan of DC Universe as well but this Game is Lacking a lot of Characters if this game was going to be released they should have added more DC Heroes and Villains and Added More Mortal Kombat Heroes and Villains or at least stick them in DLC for free so we can download because this game isn't complete With out MK's Goro, Kintaro, Cyrax, Noob, Smoke, Mileena, Rain, Sheeva, General Reiko, Ninja Reptile and Many Others, Its Also not complete without DC's: Black Canary, Aqua Man, Wonder twins (Best to fight Noob and Smoke as a Tag Team), Hawk Man, Hawk Girl, Green Arrow, Robin (As Well as The Teen Titans), Speedy, Aqua Lad, Blue Beetle, Manta Ray, Music Meister, (many other villians and heroes). But the point is the Game needs more that Just two rows of characters
