Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sub-Zero vs. Batman... Raiden vs. Superman... interesting matches.

Interestingly, this game does not have an M rating like the rest of the MK games, and DC heroes have "heroic brutalities" instead of fatalities.

Green Lantern plzkthx

After watching the MK franchise make some strides towards being decent with Deadly Alliance and Deception, they threw it all out the window and made the incredibly crappy Armageddon. I've given up on the series, and doubt that a strange crossover is going to save it in my eyes.

I have to wonder what convinced DC to do this though. I know they're probably sick of their games sucking, but MK I'd hardly say MK is the answer to that.

[SuperMillionaire]

I like the Free-Fall Kombat and the Test Your Might (smash the opponent through a series of walls) interludes within the gameplay.

I plan to buy this eventually. The recent MK's sure weren't great but they weren't horrible either. This one apparantly meshes the old MK fighting engine with the new one so I'm interested to see if it can capture what made the first two (not MK3) so great.

agree with Vivi22, Deadly Alliance was quite a surprise for the last generation, MK finally having an actual combat system, I enjoyed it alot but unfortunately the allure of fatalities didn't seem to translate well from 2d to 3d.

Despite cheesiness, much of what I've been hearing is that MK vs. DC is actually a pretty good game, or at least very fun to play. I hate to say it, but myself personally would only be interested when its price is depreciated. There's simply too many good games out, especially on the PS3, for me to spend time on any fighter.

Games like this sadden me as it shows developers have no creativity as they continue to milk franchises.

Interestingly, in the US, this will be the first MK game to not receive an M rating by the ESRB.

The way the last boss dies is hysterical.

[SuperMillionaire]

Yes, the final boss is Dark Kahn, a fusion of Darkseid (DC universe) and Shao Kahn. When either Raiden or Superman defeats him, he explodes.

Is the game itself fun?

Because I had such high hopes with MK Dark Alliance/Deception (Pre-Armacrappishon)

[Lionx]

I heard from people who play this that there is actually a competitive edge to this game like UMK3 and MK2. I dont know the specifics since i am not particularly interested in MK type games, all i know is that this game being played offline is a totally different and deep game compared to its laggy online counterpart from more serious players.

That and Green Lantern is top tier, and Superman already has an infinite. XD I initially thought this was the stupidest game ever, however it is good to see that many people dont consider it a horrible game and say it possibly has depth for once.

[SuperMillionaire]

Personally, I think MK should've crossed with Marvel...

[Depression Moon]

That wouldn't have happened it already did with Capcom. I was thinking about trying it out when I do get a PS3.

[SuperMillionaire]

Yes, but MK and DC crossing over does sound a bit awkward because the MK warriors are savage barbarians and the DC heroes are very sleek. Marvel would probably fit that role better...
