2 out of 5 stars Do they even have game-testers anymore?   July 24, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

When I was growing up I was a huge Mortal Kombat junkie. Mortal kombat 2 really broke so many barriers as far as one-on-one fighting games go, and I remember spending countless hours learning fatalities and mastering my skills with all of the characters. I'd be at the arcade too plugging quarters away to check out the latest mortal kombat installments and couldn't wait for them to be released to a gaming system.

So after buying a DS I was pretty stoked to see this game and figured I knew what I was buying with all the experience I had with mortal kombat games. I must have spent about 45 minutes playing this game and havent touched it since. It's just so frustrating to go out of your way and spend 30 dollars on a brand-name that you trust only to be let down by some foolish programmers choices. Fatalities have always intrigued me and I love performing them, and when I was younger I remember performing all of them with general ease, but with this? FORGET ABOUT IT... You have about a millisecond to perform a fatality (which is listed on the screen which should be very convenient) but the chances of actually executing them are darn near impossible. It's just so aggravating when you SWEAR you're hitting the right combination of buttons and nothing happens...

Just such a huge letdown that I can't pick this game up, thrash on some FAIR FIGHTING computer enemies (not one's that don't even let you fight normally and use the special moves the game itself created, because the enemies are in this robot WIN mode), rip some heads off and be done with it... Except I'm left with a game I want to throw against the wall because the programmers were too busy eating cheetos than actually making a user friendly game.

I haven't played this as a 2-player game but I imagine it's WAY fun that way... But if you're a 1-player gamer like me please please please don't waste your money like I did.

And the puzzle game? Pfff... What a bleak attempt to make a fun addition... not only is the puzzle game boring, they topped it off with automatic fatalities that are worthlessly recycled guts and gore that gets old very very fast - ugh... I hate getting ripped off!!! Just the chance you take sometimes...





5 out of 5 stars MK is great   May 5, 2008
Sure Ultimate MK is an awesome game when it was released on SNES.....this Nintendo double dipping is stupid. It's nice to have this gem on hand held though.


5 out of 5 stars Great DS game for online play   March 10, 2008
I bought this game because I was looking for another game for DS that would utilize the wireless online play feature of the DS. This is the classic Mortal Combat fighting game. I was only a minor fan of the game when it was originally in arcades. As far as I can tell the DS version of the game is complete. I also bought this game partly because it was the only M rated game I have found for DS. It has all the characters from the original game and all the blood and gore and fatalities from the original game. I was also pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the graphics in sub menus for the game and the audio in the DS version might be better than the original game. The dual screen feature of the game is utilized too with the top screen displaying the combo moves for a particular character and the bottom screen displaying the fighting. Unfortunately, I am terrible at this game and the only time I tried out the online play I was beaten almost instantly. The DS game has a second mini game built in that I have grown to really like. The second game is a puzzle game similar to Tetris with blocks that fall from the top and build up. The twist is that this is a fighting puzzle game. One screen shows Mortal Combat characters fighting. The bottom screen shows the puzzle game. As you win at the puzzle game the character wins at the fight as well.


5 out of 5 stars True Masterpiece of Ultimate Mortal Kombat   November 27, 2007
Being original and traditional, I have grown up with mortal kombat. I have seen all the mortal kombat games that exists even during the early 1990s. This is it, this is the one game that is the best. People who aren't very familiar with doing 6,7,8+ combo moves very fast may come to dislike it and feel that the level of difficulty is too much to bear. At first, it was kind of hard to get back to classic fast hitting button arcade mode, but now, believe it or not, I have come to believe that I am the master the mortal kombat. You can tell that the game is programmed to predict your moves as you advance into subsequent rounds. The bonus puzzle kombat and the online WIFI capability is what really reawakens mortal kombat. The toughest master level is the best. You get unlimited trials and credits but beating master level really reminded me of my enjoyment in the old days. The graphics look nice in 2-D. I hate to say it, but 3-D looks kind of ugly, slow, and unsophisticated. In the harder of the two master levels, you get to face three opponents. Mataro may fires 6 or more fireballs at you. Fatalities must be done super fast. You have to know it by heart. Jade can be quite challenging if you have already beat two or three opponents on a consecutive basis. Other than that, I would say everything else is fair game. It's about knowing all possible moves by heart and truly knowing how to fight like a true warrior.


4 out of 5 stars Ultimate MK3 on the DS   November 20, 2007
Ultimate Mortal Kombat marks the debut of Midway's flagship fighting series on the DS, and is by far the best portable excursion the Mortal Kombat series has seen yet. Ultimate Mortal Kombat consists of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Puzzle Kombat, which you may remember as a little bonus mini-game from the somewhat more recent Mortal Kombat: Deception. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is pretty much spot on from the version we all remember, albeit shrunk down. Whichever one of the screens you choose to fight on, the opposite screen lists special moves and fatalities, which is a nice little bonus in itself. Puzzle Kombat is a little bit of fun for what it is, and is a nice bonus game, but the real meat and potatoes of Ultimate Mortal Kombat comes from the game's Wi-Fi connectibility options. Single player mode can get old after a while thanks to the steep difficulty curve, but the game's multiplayer options more than make up for that. Because of the game being shrunk down, there are noticable graphical glitches, but otherwise, Ultimate Mortal Kombat is a blast. The controls tightly fit the DS, and the sound effects are kept true as well. All in all, if you're a DS owner and Mortal Kombat fan who likes taking advantage of the DS' Wi-Fi capabilities, Ultimate Mortal Kombat is more than worth picking up.
