Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe looks like an interesting game but I am not sure if it is worth the price since of the mixed reviews it got. 
 
How did people like the game? The main reason I want it is because I just got a fighting stick and am looking for some good fighting games to play (I already have SFIV and Tekken 6). 
 
So...what is the verdict?

I borrowed it off my boss for the weekend once. It was alright but I am glad I didn't pay for it.

no

In my experience, compared with other Mortal Kombat games there really isn't much to do - not very much to unlock as everything is pretty given to you from the start (characters, stages all unlocked I think from the get-go).  The online community is weak as far as I know as well, I checked GameFAQs and apparently maybe about 50 dudes online in the whole world are still playing it, but that was from a thread about 2 months ago.  All you can really rely on is your interest in playing the DC characters which really was the selling point of the game and the only interesting thing about it.

Bump!

i can't say it's great.  
  
buuut..

Me and my friend FUCKING RIPPED THIS DAMN GAME APPART.For 30 minutes,and a ton of matches,we bitched,over and OVER. 
This.Game.Sucks.All the balls in the world.

No, its an awful game. 
I can see what they tried to do, but its about as much fun to play as being hit in the face with a fish. 
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Even if you were the worlds biggest Wally West fan.

Wow...I thought that 5 stars at least meant a decent game at minimum.

It is a great fighting game, and it is worth 30. Don't listen to all the haters. Most of the people that have replied to your thread are members that live on the Street Fighter 4 forum. They are all Street Fighter snobs that can't appreciate other fighting games... And besides. Are you going to take Jeff's word for it, or a bunch of random forum nobodies? Jeff's opinion has way more value, and he gave it a 5 out of 5. "

DO NOT BUY IT! rent it. it takes about 2 hours to beat the story mode. and the online is dead. i got on recently and only had 12 people in the lobbies. played the same 3 guys over and over and all of them simply spammed the fireballs with liu kang and shang tsung.  the story mode is fun but the multiplayer is gone.  GONE! dont forget its rated t for teen. barely any blood. no real fatalities. its not mortal kombat. its just a random fighting game using the characters. 
 
p.s. im not kidding there were 12 people online playing.
 
p.p.s.  im not a street fighter snob. both games were equally fun offline. but there is NOONE playing anymore. wait til its like 20 bucks and get it ONLY IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE TO PLAY AGAINST IN PERSON!

It is a great fighting game, and it is worth 30. It's not perfect, but it's still really good. Don't listen to all the haters. Most of the people that have replied to your thread are members that live on the Street Fighter 4 forum. They are all Street Fighter snobs that can't appreciate other fighting games... And besides. Are you going to take Jeff's word for it, or a bunch of random forum nobodies? Jeff's opinion has way more value, and he gave it a 5 out of 5.  People that say it's "awful" or "terrible" are such sensationalistic prats. They don't deserve to be heard. I'm not saying you can't dislike it, or say it's not your cup of tea, but some of the people in this thread are acting like it's a completely broken piece of garbage, and that's absolutely untrue. "

I watched a friend play it on the PS3, and I was very unimpressed, the combos and fatalities were so bland and basic

While there is definitely some fun to be had, you could probably stand to wait for the next round of price drops. I would be willing to bet it will dip to under $15 on Amazon.com in the next couple of months as warehouse space becomes an issue for the next wave of holiday releases. Another idea is to rent it and see for yourself, a five dollar investment isn't a bad deal when it may save your $25. Additionally, I find that many of the Mortal Kombat games have supremely cheap A.I. and, as mentioned above, if no one is online you're going to be at the mercy of your local friends. If you don't have anyone to play it with then I would say pass. Finally, if you are looking at it for Achievement/Trophy Padding (and I won't judge here!), the game is supposedly really frustrating and time consuming,  Xbox360achievements.org lists the time to completion at around 100 hours, or the time it would take to complete two or three better games.

"People that are active members of the SFIV forums definitely play other fighting games, and that post was just way too dickish to go unnoticed."

"Jeff isn't some kind of messiah either, he's just a guy. An incredibly funny guy, but still just a guy, so his opinion on the matter should carry as much weight as anyone else."

 What do people dislike about the game besides of the fact of there being no gore?    

"So if you don't mind stiff, awkward gameplay, go ahead.  "
