Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review:: In a nutshell: Billed as the last Mortal Kombat game on the current generation consoles, Armageddon sees a return to one-on-one fighting and playable cameos for every single character from the series. The lowdown: This isn’t another roaming beat ‘em-up, like Shaolin Monks, but rather a one-on-one beat ‘em-up that works as a sort of 3D Mortal Kombat Trilogy, with the main draw that it contains 60 different playable characters from throughout the series’ history. In part this is to make up for the fact that the game hasn’t really changed much from 2004’s Deception – although there are new aerial combos and an improved parrying system. Oddly the number of different combat styles for each character has been reduced from three to two though and the once impressive graphics are starting to look a bit long in the tooth. It remains the most accessible 3D fighter around though and still does better at carrying on the original’s legacy than many other franchise sequels. Most exciting moment: In order to make up for the lack of gameplay changes, Armageddon includes a huge range of extra options and game modes. The best is Konquest which is a lot more fun than the similarly named game mode in Deception, with a great little arcade adventure containing mountains of unlockables to use in the main game. Since you ask: Few of the other new options work as well as Konquest, with the Mario Kart style Motor Kombat being particularly dire. The Kreate-A-Fatality option is also a bit of a damp squib and the Kreate-A-Fighter is only slightly more interesting - and seems somewhat redundant considering how many characters are in the game already. The bottom line: An unnecessary sequel but one that’s still hard not to have fun with.-HARRISON DENT Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bloody BrilliantMKA is a welcome addition to the Mortal Kombat Franchise. Having over 60 characters to choose from. There is a character for everyone's liking in the game, so you can play as your favourite character and beat the hell out of everything in the game. If you get bored of fighting, you can have a go on the Motor Kombat. Choose from 10 characters and race along 5 different tracks. Using the Wii remote on MKA does take some getting use too. But it features a mode where you can train until you are confident enough in using the Wii remote. If that isn't to your liking, you can easily change to the Gamecube controller or the Classic Controller and enjoy some button bashing. To get the most out of MKA, you have to ...

So I ordered and played it last night and found it to be a blast. I was scared the controls would be dodgy as some people reported. But a casual gamer such as myself found it intuitive and the moves pull off, and don't find it a problem at all. Do the training first as this will hold you in good stead. Really enjoy the game, and good fun with multiplayer mode. Rating: - A game to keep you busy until Super Smash Bros Brawl`Mortal Kombat: Armageddon' features over 60 playable characters from all of the previous games in the series and as a big fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise, this is absolute bloody heaven. With all the usual different modes of play like Arcade mode there's also a few others like Motor Kombat - a Mario Kart-style racing game with MK characters, making perfect use of the Wii's tilt sensitive controls. The Konquest mode, which was featured in Deadly Alliance and Deception, also returns but has been improved a lot, making it an excellent extra alongside the main game as it takes over 10 hours to complete. The Wii controls take a little while to get used to on this game but once you've got the hang of it this game is great ... Read More: Rating: - a fun knockabouti bought this game as i love beat em ups,overall this is a very enjoyable wii version of the game,the graphics are wonderfully textured and gameplay smooth.i find it sometimes difficult to execute some of the special moves, hmmm, more practice maybe.I was a bit dismayed that you can,t wave the controllers around or thrust them to make punches,roundhouses etc.Not a bad game by any means,shame about the control system,my only gripe.try before you buy. Rating:  - Unbelievably poorHaving rented this with intentions to buy it, I couldn't believe that within a few minutes of booting it up what a disappointing game this is. The use of the wii's excellent motion detection is awful and consistently innaccurate, leading to an overall frustrating experience. On the whole the game itself is far inferior with the gameplay to previous games on older generation consoles, such as Tekken on the PS1. Definitely no new ground covered here, and not the sort of game to show off the wii bearing in mind some of the titles already released. Strongly recommend either hiring it to work out for yourself or better still saving your hard earned for something much more worthy. |
