Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is a pretty good game. It has EVERY single Mortal Kombat fighter in the entire series to fight as, so that's pretty cool. But the fighters only have one fighting style and a lot of the fighting styles are crappy. They look and fight like idiots or even children. The costumes are ok, but the secret fighters you can play as pretty sweet. The graphics are as good as you can get on the PS2 or original XBOX. The story is really good though. The Konquest mode is really cool. It isn't like Depetion where it was just a training exercise with a story. This you actually beat up and kill bad guys and learn new moves and magic. Plus the Wii version introduces Khameleon, a super awesome female ninja that looks really cool and has a good backstory. Another flaw is the when you finish the game. When you beat the final kombatant, your ending is just your fighter is standing there fighting with no one while an announcer tells what happened when you beat the final boss. It's pretty lame. All in all, great game for the hardcore Mortal Kombat fans. The Wii remote does make fighting fun, but not as easy as a regular control which you can use if you like.Read full review
Mortal Kombat Armageddon is a fun game to play and the Wii version does a nice job with new control system. At first I was hesitating to try this game for wii becaause of the way the controls might affect it, I had the Xbox version but sold it and decided to try the Wii version. Well to say I wasn't dissappointed. The controls are fun once you get used to them which won't take long. The game itself is typical Mortal Kombat fighting which might get boring after a while playing by yourself, but this game is way better playing with other people, It's a shame it doesn't have online capabilities or else this game's replay value would be alot higher. This game also introduces kreate-a-fighter mode which will have you experimenting with different styles of fighting and different looks for a while. Another new feature is Motor Kombat which is like a Mario Kart styled racing game which is a nice fun feature to play around with for a while. Also returning is Konquest mode which has some issues but none the less will add some more entertainment to an already packed game. All in all Mortal Kombat Armageddon is a definate must for Wii fighting games and in case ya dont like the controls you can always connect a Gamecube controller or a Wii classic controller. A must try.Read full review
I'll start off with one major problem for this game - because all of the special moves have been assigned a motion-control, there's no sense of accomplishment for pulling off a particularly tricky move; they're all rather easy to do once you've gotten used to the movement patterns. This problem is even worse for fatalities. In past games, every character had a unique set of finishing moves that served as a kind of "bonus-round" at the end of a match - there was a unique challenge in pulling off one of these moves in the five seconds given at the end of the match. Now, all characters share the same generic mutilations at the end of each match - the customizability is fun, but doesn't match the perverse pleasures derived from the special finishers from past games. Moreover - you can no longer perform "other" finishers like Friendships (it's a fun way to end a match), Mercies, Animalities... essentially, the Fatality of MK:A is analogous to the Brutalities of past games, only less impressive. That's not to say it's all bad, or even mostly bad. The character roster is great, and there's a lot of fan-service for long-time players. I do miss all of the great hidden/unlockable characters from past-games (there was a special sense of pride when using such a character against your friends) - and though they're all there right from the get-go, it's just not the same. Still, there's always a new character to try out if your current one just isn't working for you. The range of martial arts styles available is just too cool - I was particularly pleased about the inclusion of Vale Tudo and Jeet Kune Do styles. The create-a-fighter mode is a little overrated in my opinion - at least in regards to designing your fighter's appearance. There just aren't enough options, even after everything is unlocked. Still, it's possible to work within these limits to create decent characters, though after experimenting with it for a while I still tend to go with the stock fighters, especially since you can only save one custom fighter per profile. I can't imagine playing this on either of the original platforms it launched on - this version has the most fighters, most extras, and best graphics - even the special motion controls are fun and engaging more often than not. The Mortal Kombat series is certainly showing it's age now, but it's still fun to play, even if only for the nostalgia.Read full review
I should give my background first, I haven't played Mortal Kombat since the early 1990s on sega. So when I ordered this one I wasn't sure what to expect on a new game system 12 yrs later. I think it is neat, there's lot of player choices and they have several different moves each. It even has more depending on whether you have your weapons out or not. It has traning on it to show you have to use the remote for the game AND how to make all the players do their moves. There is lessons you can take to practice each players moves, it is only about 6 of them BUT if you hit another button it gives you a choice to see their moves list. In there you can see all that players moves and the buttons to make it happen. I will say I have had difficulty getting the fatality to work for me; however I am NOT a big gamer so that is probably not saying much. My son does love it though it does have alot of blood and fatality moves contain the expected head ripping etc. Overall, I recommend the game! I personally like it alot.Read full review
The Wii controls were a little dissopionting. Very hard to do fatalities. The controls were hard to learn. It took me about 25 minuites to figure out how to punch and kick and all that stuff. Game is reccommended, you need to look up, how to do fatalities on the internet, or else you will have a hard time playing the game. This game has alot of fighting, which makes it really really fun. There are many characters in Mortal Kombat Armageddon, which is a good thing. Theres also MORTOR Kombat, which is some kind of racing thing. One of my faviorte things is the Kreate-a-fighter mode, it it awesome. I managed to do a couple of fatalities, the fatalities are awesome, if only I knew how to do them by Heart. The game is not to expensive, around $30 dollers. The instruction manual was ok, wasn't ver informative. So, overall Mortal Kombat Armageddon is awesome, I hope they make another one soon. Thanks for reading my review.Read full review
