Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe Review
Posted by Wade, 86 days ago

For the Multiplayer you have two player and MK vs. DCU Online. I, unfortunately for this review, could only play the two player mode as the Online wasn’t really available, due to no one apparently being available to kick my butt. (I’ll update this in a couple of days for the multiplayer review, which I can sadly admit now, I’ll still get my butt kicked.) The two player once again revisits the days of  old, just kicking the crap out each other, two out of three rounds.

The sounds of the game don’t hurt the game in any respect, but yet as I sit here writing this review, I can’t seem to remember anything that sticks out. The voices for each of the characters are what you expect, everyone sounding like I remember.

MK vs DC is a spectacular game on the outset, but yet I feel there is something lacking. When I heard that Midway was going for a Teen ESRB rating, I was skeptical and the game justified it. The game we came to know and love about ripping limbs off and total destruction is gone. At times in the finishing moves, some are just knocking people over, Brutalities very much weakened by the rating. These toned down Finishers are not going to make Mortal Kombat fans stand up and shout, and even the most die-hard DC fans may be fascinated that you can fight amongst each other, but it won’t take long for the nostalgia to wear off. Don’t get me wrong it is still a good game, but I would rather recommend you rent the game first, before you purchase it.

 Our Rating for Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe Review
6.0
Replay
Though there are several modes and the story mode is interesting, I can only feel the repetive nature will get the best of you
9.0
Graphics
As mentioned, they are some of the best, from environment to characters, to the movements, very well done.
7.0
Sound
Nothing hurts the game, but doesn’t seems to really enhance it either.
8.0
Gameplay
With the 360 degree environment it’s really quite intriguing, and for those of Mortal Kombat fans the button mashing isn’t much different.
5.0
Multiplayer
The two player was old school, but online was VERY bare.
7.5
Overall
Two major fans are converging on this game as we speak, but I suspect they will feel all a bit bored after about two weeks. Rent before buying
