Great addition to the franchise but it lacks content and length. ( X360 )
When Midway announced in early 2008 that the new Mortal Kombat game was going to be tied with the DC Universe, most people weren’t very happy. Even though there was Marvel vs. Capcom and X-Men vs. Street Fighter II released in the late 90s, this was a bigger surprise. If ...

Brutal Entry... ( X360 )
The ice ninja vs. the dark knightAt first glance, the new Mortal Kombat crossover from Midway seemed like a wee bit of an attempt to cash in.  After all, MK's hay-day has since passed, and the fighting franchise all but ended itself with the PS2's massive Kombat mash-up, Mortal Kombat ...

MK vs DC: A great game to introduce people to the fighting genre ( PS3 )
Numerous times I've tried to get into fighting games.  I've tried Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter, and Tekken, yet none of them kept me interested for more than a week.  The problem isn't with the quality of the games, most of them were near AAA productions, but rather, the problem was ...

Mortal Kombat back to form ( X360 )
Story The story in MK vs DC is straight from a B-movie. The basic plot is the DC and MK worlds are colliding thanks to a mess up by Superman and Raiden. This ends up with a lot of fighting in an experience that should take between 6-9 hours. The ...

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Review ( X360 )
Mortal Kombat vs. DC is a cross over fighter brought to you by Midway. You'll be able to take on the cast of Mortal Kombat with several different super heroes and villains from the DC universe, and visa versa. This game feels like a Mortal Kombat Lite game. The problem ...

Ahh there are some things you never expect to see in videogames, and this is one of those rare moments. These two franchises collide and it ain't pretty. First things first the fighting is actually pretty solid, and it is pretty rewarding to pull off the harder to do combos. ...

Review: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe ( X360 )
   As a hardcore fighting game fan, I've never liked Mortal Kombat. The series was never deep enough for me to sink my fangs into and the dial-a-combo style of fighting turned me away in favor of fighters with cancel systems and custom combos. So, when Mortal Kombat vs. DC ...
