Video Game Reviews of Ultimate Mortal Kombat
Customer Review: Do they even have game-testers anymore?
Summary: 2 Stars
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...
