This is my third review and thanks for reporting my last
two so now I can improve! Mortal Kombat is a game close to my
heart. As a kid i fell asleep to the soundtrack. Mortal Kombat is
about a tournament where combatants from different realms battle
to keep their realm safe from Outworld. It is a game rich with
story and blood. This installment in the series is great for the
following reasons.
1.COMBATANTS
The combatants are special because in this one it has almost all of the past fighters plus several new ones and the ability to create your own character! Character Creators are one of my favorite thing in games because games that allow the user to create content are great!
2.Plot
Plot is a great thing that some games do not want. But I personally love a good story. The plot of this story is a son of a god(Taven) must go on a quest to kill Blaze. So is his brother Daegon who was sent on the quest years earlier and killed their god parents. Basicly each one will do a different thing if they defeat Blaze. One of the brothers will take away the combatants powers while one will kill all of the combatants if they defeat Blaze. Also compared to Deception and Deadly Alliance the Story Mode has been polished up and is truly a better experience.
3.Special Modes
I Deception it introduced Chess Combat which my Chess with fighting and Puzzle Combat which was Tetris basicly. In Armageddon we got another special mode that includes racing with special moves that I enjoyed alot. When you're tired of fighting the special Racing Combat is a fun and addicting game to play!
4.Underrated
So many people say this game sucks. I mean they brought Liu Kang back as a zombie but that is no reason to not like it! I personally loved the game. It is like Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe,the game was not liked even though it was a fun game.
5.Character Changes
Of course with all of the characters in the game sacrifices were made. Motaro had to have only two legs and all characters ended up with only two fighting styles. Once again a bad reason to hate this game. We got almost all of the Mortal Kombat characters! I'm not complaining!
6.Fatalities!
In this game you can use fatalities and mix them up like typing in the arm break and then mixed a head rip into it to create your own fatalities! In my opinion this feature is pretty awesome. You can mix and match tons of fatalities to really mess someone up!
7.Krypt
The krypt was a feature introduced in Deadly Alliance but it got lazy in this one. In Deadly Alliance and Deception the Krypt was a graveyard but in this game it was just a group of squares pretty much. So yeah, that is a great reason to not like the game. But if you're gonna be hating the game because of it just don't buy anything!
Blood, guts, chess and cooking videos, it can only be the 6th generation Mortal Kombat games. Join us as we reminesce about MK classics.
I loved Deadly Alliance and Deception. I literally grew up with Mortal Kombat, and have probably owned every game in the series at one point or another. I actually enjoyed Armageddon too, despite the fact that they made a lazy fatality alternative. The fighter create mode was fucn, and I'm not afraid to admit that I played the hell out of the racing mode.
I haven't played any since the 4th game. I loved the first 4 and would play them all time in arcades. I want to get Mortal Kombat 11 once the complete edition drops.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon felt like an end to everything the series had been building towards for many years, literally funneling every character – from elder gods to goofy guest stars – into a massive meat grinder, letting that bloody paste congeal before rebooting the franchise half a decade later.
The last Klassic Kombat to me was Mortal Kombat Trilogy, before the art style changed. Klassic Kombat was 2d not 3d too imo
I agree. UMK3 was the last great MK game(before MK9) and Trilogy was a nice send off before the series started to suck when it went 3d with 4.
If they didn't goof with getting experimental with the fatalities in this one it could have easily been the best. That fighter roster was awesome
Mortal Kombat hasn’t been the same for me ever since that piece of crap they call deadly alliance came out. That gameplay was slow as hell and they killed my favorite character lui kang.
MK1: masterpiece
MK2: masterpiece
MK3: good
MK4: awesome
MK deadly alliance: crap
MK Deception: okay
MK Armageddon: trash
MK vs DC: okay
MK9: good
MKX: got boring after I beat the story mode
I never got into 3D fighting games. The mk 3D era were the only ones I ever played. I miss the konquest story modes and the Shaolin monk games. The 3D brawler type of mini game would be welcomed with open arms. The weird mini games were great as well. Mk9 has some cool distractions in the challenge tower. I hope more of that stuff shows up in mk11.
Lots of hidden secrets and hints all point back towards the Mortal Kombat Armageddon game, released way long ago. Following the actual MK9 plot, we could be leading up to another recreation of MKA
As long as there is no BS universal fatality system then it will be gladly welcomed.
too bad the basic moves havent been basic since mk4 ..i miss the basic .. sweep, uppercut, backspin kick..etc.. being universal
I still don't understand why they haven't made a sequel to shaolin monks or a remastered edition. The gameplay was so smooth and fun, the boss fights were so intense and unique to one another.
Best gow clone last gen IMO and well that's saying a lot.
As a die hard Mortal Kombat fan I give this game an eight. The ups for me where: The intro video, the inclusion of UMK3, racing combat, all the character bio videos, the history of MK, create-a-character, classic stages and all the characters being unlocked.
The Downs where: Create a fatality was the most upsetting, character endings, the whole fighting in the air crap and Konquest I was expecting it to be more like Deception.
