Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is the source of mixed emotions. I am a huge Mortal Kombat fan and was part of the group who was against Midway "censoring" Mortal

The ever immortal question is not "Why are we here"? or "How will I die"? and not even "Who is God"? the immortal question is "Who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman"? Finally Midway have given us the answer to this.

You know what I love about the Mortal Kombat series? It's always throwing you a curve ball. It's never afraid to try something new. From the laughably bad 'Special Forces' disaster to the amazingly awesome action-adventure style of 'Shaolin Monks' (which is one of my favorite games ever).

Two great tastes that taste great together. Crossovers are certainly nothing new in the world […]

+ Solid cast of characters; + Old-school MK feel; + Substantial story mode

Some lame Fatalities; Severe lack of extras

To cut a long story short, this certainly won't be the game to help Midway get through its financial crisis. However, it's comforting to know that the developers behind MK won't be affected by the company's difficulties. So, here's looking at a better sequel, perhaps.

A decent brawler; plenty of fighters to choose; fluid character animation; try playing with friends for full effect

Story mode's disappointing; balancing the fighters was obviously a bit of a problem for the developers; other than fighting against "live" opponents there's not much to return to

You got your Mortal Kombat in my DC Universe; you got your DC Universe in my Mortal Kombat! OK, anyone born after the eighties, probably will not get the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup reference, but it is certainly appropriate for this game.

Harkens back to classic Mortal Kombat gameplay; Interesting backstory; Excellent fighting game

Voice acting needs work; Some character models look a little too plasticy; Violence has been racketed down

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is a quality fighting game which fans are surly going to enjoy. Playing as characters such as Superman, The Joker, and Batman definitely add to the whole Mortal Kombat experience as they are tied in nicely with the MK fighting style.

No matter how you see it; still the same good old MK

Loading screens; inescapable cutscnenes and no M rated content

With its fatalities, friendships and whatnot, the Mortal Kombat series has never really been one to take seriously. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe takes the series into further realms of silliness however, and just as the name implies, the game introduces Batman, Superman and a host of other popular...

Overall this title was a pleasant surprise to review. I went into it expecting one thing, but came out of it being very satisfied.  While the game does have it's problems, like the overall difficulty and the controls being difficult to master, it still manages to impress.

Well it features DC characters!  If you liked the feel of the previous MK titles, you will like this one; Very well written storyline; Good overall sound; Voice acting for the most part is very well done.

The Xbox 360 control pad is not the best controller for fighting games; After you complete the story mode for both factions, the replayability may suffer

Crossovers have been used across all forms of media, characters from two separate fictional universes coming together for some reason or another. Comic books do it all the time, with heroes from one publisher's roster battling or aiding the characters of another, and video games have also dabbled in...
