This game is impressive as a novelty at best. It is easy to call it a decent fighter for the PS3 because there has not been one released yet. Soul Calibur IV was a flop. MK vs. DC is more FUN, but lacks depth beyond your first few days of playing. I won’t argue with the fact that the game is more fluid than recent MK games, but the tweaking of the combo system compared to Deception on PS2 is horrible. I remember playing Deception online for hours on end. I can’t imagine anyone over preteen years finding this game exciting once you get past the fact that you can destroy Superman/Batman with Sub-Zero/Scorpion.

Overall I am very disappointing with MK VS DC. I would say the graphics and looks of the characters are great. The looks of the moves are nice too. The fatalities are mostly weak. Alot of characters regular moves are more brutal than their fatalities. I think for a casual button smashing Fan of these lines it may be fun. But as a true frighting ame its not good at all. I hate most of the new features. Alot of the new features involved button mashing. When you fall off a cliff, push someone through a wall, or do close up frightening . These remind me of the bonus rounds street fighter and MK used to have where i would just wait for the timer to run so I could get back to fighting. Most of the best combos are mostly button mashing too. The air combos are aggravating. The simple easy ones do the most damage. In fact I did one air combo and then had an idea to add an extra hit to it. It took a while to get it to work and once it did the damage was less. It was all the same exact moves with one extra move for an extra hit and it did less damage. Once that happen I got up and shut off my ps3 and never played the game again.

Fast shipping. My 11yr. old son was a little disappointed with this game, but it still gets a reasonable amount of play time from him.

I bought this because it was Mortal Kombat on the PS3. What I found in one sitting is that this game is somewhat of a standard fare 3D fighting game. It is certainly no Soul Calibur when it comes to graphics and sounds, but it holds its own fairly well. That said, something just doesn’t feel like Mortal Kombat. It may have been better suited as just a DC Universe game.
It is frustratioing to see that character’s signature moves have been changed…again. For instance, while Scorpion’s spear throw works just like it has in other versions of Mortal Kombat, I now have to learn yet another combination in order to pull off the Toasty Fatality. While relatively simple, what’s the point? Why do these moves have to keep changing with each iteration of the series?
There are some new features, such as Freefall kombat, Rage mode, and Klose Kombat, but once you have seen them, they appear to be nothing more than gimmicks.
Let me leave you with this…If you like DC characters or Mortal Kombat, then go ahead and pick up this game. You’ll moderately enjoy it, if for no other reason than having the cast of characters fight on your PS3.
