Product Description
When a cataclysmic force merges conquerors from two universes, conflict is inevitable. Kombat forces friends to fight, worlds to collide, and unlikely alliances to be forged. In order to save all they know, the heroes and villains of Mortal Kombat must wage war against the combined might of the DC Universe (DCU). How can either side prevail when rage blinds them to the dark threat poised to destroy them all?

Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters) along with veteran Mortal Kombat team members You have the ability to choose sides, challenge friends and take the fight online

 The best DC game to come out in years November 17, 2008

Clear off your calendar if you pick this one up. This game is incredibly fun and addictive. The graphics here are amazing, and other than some strange costume changes for The Flash and Green Lantern, they're faithful to the comics. The Mortal Kombat side of things is pretty much standard as far as character build goes. There are a few minor tweaks, but you can easily see which character is which. DC has Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, Captain Marvel, Joker, Catwoman, Lex Luthor, and Deathstroke. MK has Lui Kang, Scorpion, Sub Zero, Shang Zui, Kano, Jax, Sonja Blade, and Kitana. I missed seeing Johnny Cage in here, and I think Catwoman could have been scrapped for another hero like Green Arrow or Hawkman, but for the most part you can't complain about their choices.
Each character has their own unique moves. It's easy to see where spending some time playing the same character will make you a formidable opponent if you take the fight online. Most of the characters have long-range attacks, and the finishing moves are spectacular!
Playing in story mode is a one-player affair. First you choose which side you're playing on (MK or DC). The DC side finds Superman stopping Darkseid and accidentally opening a portal that begins to bring the two realities together with crushing results. In Story Mode, you play as each character over time, learning individual moves and getting just good enough with each before moving on to the next. Some of them have a bit of a learning curve, but for the most part the major attacks are the same button-mashing combination (but with different results for each). By far my favorite characters are The Flash and Captain Marvel. Flash has a move called "Around the World" that will leave your enemies spinning and unable to attack for a few precious seconds. Captain Marvel can call down the Shazam lightning on his opponents (among many other cool moves).
By far this is the best DC game that's come out in years. Though the gameplay is basically the same thing between cutscenes (fight somebody), it's still a lot of fun.
A Return To Glory For MK! November 18, 2008

After the disappointing Armageddon, this game is a return of the franchise! They have listened to the fans and got rid of the "make your own" fatality and brought back the pictures for the endings of the charactes after you beat arcade mode. Not only that, but the story mode for both sides (MK and DC) is very detailed and sure to make fans of both series very happy. Wait, there's more! They have added three new fighting techniques. You can run people through walls, grab people for a close-up fight and fight while falling! These three things add a new freshness to what could have been the same old same old. It makes it hard to wait to see what new things they come up with next time. Overall, you will love this game if you are a MK fan. It being rated T didn't hurt it.

Having been a fan of mortal Kombat for years and owning all releases, I will have to say this is by far the funnest version I have played! I was skeptical at first with the DC theme, but after playing I must say I am impressed! I own the PS3 version and the graphics,sounds are incredible!!!!
Excellent! November 21, 2008

I have been waiting for a good head to head fighting game to play in a group environment since the PS3 came out.
Fight Night Round 3 was good, but it didn't showcase the systems full capabilities. Also boxing isn't the ideal fighter to play in a group environment.
If you're looking for a game to play with a bunch of friends (physically present) where the rookie button smasher has a chance at winning - this fits the bill. It's just pick up the controller and go!
As a past player of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Tekken (series) I found myself getting out moves instinctively, that was of course followed with lots of trash talking!
The graphics are awesome!
The DC angle is just genius!
This game is pure fun!
After a few hours of button smashing and trash talking with a few friends I can report No slowdowns in a very fast 3D game play environment. The character rendering as well as the backgrounds are superb.
How this will stack up against Street Fighter 4, & 2009 UFC Undisputed I can't say, but as it stands now I think this one edges out Soul Caliber 4, but if you're a bigger fan of the Soul Caliber series than the MK one you may see that differently?
A really fun fighting game November 17, 2008

this is a really fun game, the gameplay is smooth, and the moves for the most part are easy to remember and to do with a little practice, the single player campain actually isn't that bad for a fighting game, the chacteres look good, and there's a good selection and there will probably be downloadable content in the future, the only negative things I've found about this game are that you can't play a 1v1 against a computer(you can go to practice but it lasts till you stop it, if you have someone to play with or can play online this won't be to much of a problem) the levels are random in multiplayer(it would be nice to get to pick your level I think) and the fatalities have been toned way down, some are good but most are weak, but it's T so what'd you expect.
Overall this is a really fun game for a MK or a DC fan to have(I personally am a DC fan lol) but if you decide to get this I would really recommend getting the strategy guide too, it's nice to have all the moves right there to check when you need them
