Mortal Kombat: Armageddon Critic Reviews

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is an MK fan’s wettest dream, but even those few new to the series will find it hard not to love this game.

It may or may not be the blood-soaked ending to the franchise, but it's easily one of the most enjoyable games in the series and one of the most unapologetically fun games of the season.

The biggest features in this game are the Kreate-A-Fighter, Kreate-A-Fatality, and Online modes. It's about time Midway included stuff like this! So yeah, go buy MK Armageddon ASAP! It's one of the major reasons why the PS2 still has plenty of life residing within its dusty innards.

But as good as the action is it's the replay value of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon that makes it unbelievable. There's so much to do outside the main arcade mode that you'll feel almost overwhelmed with choices.

One hell of a fighting game. So to answer the question, Mortal Kombat has definitely gone out with a bang – for now.

It's a blast to play and it includes a ton of extra content making it one of the most satisfying Mortal Kombats ever.

With over sixty playable characters, kreate-a-fighter, and all the mini-games packed in you get more than your money’s worth. MK fans will drool with delight seeing some of their favorite fighters from every game packed into one arena.

Armageddon delivers the culmination of all things MK. The roster is huge, the modes are many, the fighting has been nicely tweaked, and overall, it’s a fitting way to turn the page on another generation of this classic franchise.

The inclusion of 62 total warriors is a massive achievement. Throw in a fun, albeit short Konquest mode, a diversionary mini-game, a new fatality system, and perhaps one of the largest character creation modes we've seen, and you have a great title that will keep Mortal Kombat fans busy for months.

The immense roster is a glorious thing, but by altering the sacred Fatality, the action just isn’t up to the series’ standards or what fans expect.

While much of the game play remains faithful to previous Mortal Kombat titles, the developers how gone to painstaking measures to bring new modes and interesting features to their franchise to keep it fresh like deli meat.

A flawed fighting, racing, and adventure game that never ceases to provide enjoyment in spite of its flaws.

With better gameplay, the largest number of characters yet, a very deep Kreate-A-Fighter mode and the ability to create your own fatalities on the fly, fans of Mortal Kombat will be hard pressed to not pick this one up.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon is the box-set of the Mortal Kombat series and just about every character ever digitalized for the series is available to use and of course abuse.

Mortal Kombat excels at offering plenty of great extras to compensate for its lukewarm gameplay.

Forget storylines, or any pretence at one: this game is simply about quick reflexes and lightning-fast button- pounding.

Great fun, but it spreads itself pate-thin when it shoud be concentrating on the fighting instead.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is without doubt the most comprehensive Mortal Kombat game ever.

If you fondly remember the old Mortal Kombat games from your ill-spent youth, you might get a big kick out of this. If it's just a solid 3D fighter you're after, you may want to look elsewhere.

A decent enough beat 'em up. The fighter roster is impressive if a bit unbalanced. But come on, seven buttons for a fighting system?
