Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is an MK fan’s wettest dream, but even those few new to the series will find it hard not to love this game.

Armageddon delivers the culmination of all things MK. The roster is huge, the modes are many, the fighting has been nicely tweaked, and overall, it’s a fitting way to turn the page on another generation of this classic franchise.

Deception still seems to be Mortal Kombat's crowning achievement for now. While Armageddon is a solid game, and it did get a lot right, it also got a significant amount wrong.

Forget storylines, or any pretence at one: this game is simply about quick reflexes and lightning-fast button- pounding.

It's not the most perfect fighter, nor are all the extras particularly interesting, but what's here is the finest example of what American fighting game developers can produce, and if you're any kind of MK -- old or new -- there's enough here to warrant a purchase. And then some.

The umpteenth Mortal Kombat game bombards you with characters and modes but does little to bring the underlying one-on-one fighting action to the next level.

It's time for Mortal Kombat to go. [Dec. 2006, p.126]

Para mí es un muy buen MK, sobretodo por sus modos, sus personajes, sí bien tiene algunos errores no quita que es un muuuuy buen MK, siendo uno de lo más disfrutables de la saga

Un cierre ambicioso y caótico para la etapa 3D de Mortal Kombat, lleno de contenido pero con sacrificios en profundidas jugables. Roster enorme. Muchísimo contenido. Modo Konquest expandido. Crear personaje (Kreate-A-Fighter). Concepto de "final de saga" épico. Puntos débiles: Combate simplificado. Menos profundidad que Deception. Balance irregular. Historia poco desarrollada

Uno dei giochi della mia infanzia e il primo Mortal Kombat che ho giocato su PS2, quindi ha un grande valore nostalgico per me. La cosa che mi è sempre piaciuta di più è l'enorme numero di **** giocabili, che rende il gioco molto vario e divertente soprattutto quando lo scopri per la prima volta. Allo stesso tempo, rigiocandolo oggi si notano alcuni limiti: molti **** condividono movimenti e mosse simili, le Fatality personalizzate non mi hanno mai convinto molto e la grafica ovviamente mostra i limiti di un gioco dell’era PS2. Nonostante questi difetti, resta per me un Mortal Kombat importante e molto divertente, soprattutto per il valore affettivo che ha avuto nella mia esperienza con la saga.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was supossed to be an amazing game. Pros include 62 Fighters to choose (63 for Wii), Konquest mode is pretty cool and it's got a small kart game if you're done fighting Cons include Fatalities being buns. Major problem because IT'S A MORTAL KOMBAT GAME, The Final Boss is, to avoid any spoiler, Not worthy, Kreate Your Fighter is LIMITED, the amount of combos for each character is laughable, and it's got nothing new visually speaking. Same models ever since Deception and Shaolin Monks. (Most of this are due to PS2 limitations) What i'm trying to say is that Mortal Kombat: Armageddon tried to give "The definitive Mortal Kombat experience" in the limitations of a PS2. All Ed Boon needed to do is wait a bit to release this for the upcoming generation console, so all the additions wouldn't have such limitations.

Seus pontos positivos são: A gameplay que se torna divertida quando há um VS. co-op local, trilha sonora, cenários bem modelados com interação e extras. De ponto negativo: Muitos personagens sem identidade ou pontos marcantes, história ruim, final de arcade de cada personagem é horroroso, modelagem de personagem ruim, gameplay desfavorável para single player, personagens conhecidos com skins mal feitas e a remoção dos fatalitys tradicionais que são sem dúvida um elemento marcante da franquia.
