Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

In a way, it feels as if many fighting game characters have stepped right out of the pages of a comic book. They wear bizarre costumes, spend a lot of time punching and kicking other people, and possess inexplicable powers.

DC characters are a good fit with the MK gang; Satisfying fighting system; Enjoyably goofy storylines; Great visual presentation; Smooth online play

Some powerful moves are easy to exploit; Few options to aid new players; Toned-down gore

my kids love this game cant get them from in front of the xbox 360.

I had never played a Mortal Kombat game before in my life and after seeing this one on a Bleep Bloop review I knew I had to have it. It's so much fun allowing you to use all the superheroes and their awesome abilities. My personal favourite has to be Superman; heat vision, ice breath, awesome cape.

My kids love it, even my Biggest kid their dad! Hours of fun for them

Fun To Play

Midway's in a pretty fair amount of trouble as I write this; they're bleeding money and facing bankruptcy. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe may wind up being the company's swan song. In a weird sort of way, that may have rebounded to the game's benefit.

If you play The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings , you will die…a lot. With most video games that's usually a bad thing, indicating that the game is either horribly broken or that it was designed by sadistic monsters (e.g. Ninja Gaiden ).

Multiple Xbox360s could not read any copies of the game.

None; However, Newegg's customer service in attempting to resolve the issue was fantastic

No support from Electronic Art's; they now own Midway but do not offer any support for this specific title

Poor old Mortal Kombat. Everything seemed to go downhill for the world's most visceral fighting series when it hit the third dimension after the release of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3: Mortal Kombat 4 was a letdown, Deadly Alliance and Deception failed to make up for it, Armageddon was ill-conceived...

Scorpion and Sub-Zero going face to face with Batman and The Joker – what more could you ask of a fighting game? The game is easy to get into but be prepared to walk around with sore thumbs from all the vigorous button pushing.

There is excellent integration between the two worlds and the fighting system is smooth

Not as gory as we?re used from MK games; A steep learning curve for newbs
