Simple as the presentation is, the two titles are well developed. If all you want is a really solid, fun version of Mortal Kombat 3 that can go online, that's what you're going to get. It's good stuff all around.

Mortal Kombat is an acquired taste and is looked down upon by most coin-op fighter enthusiasts because of its lack of strategy and its stiffness of control. UMK3 got rid of the stiffness, and the game truly is playable on the DS if you can get by the fact that the D-Pad is so small.

Ultimate MK is a sharp fighting game that's still a lot of fun, but only against live opponents.

Near arcade perfect port. The only problem I have with this version are the glitchy sprites.

It's f *** ing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on NDS! One of the best MK portable version ever made, with excellent sound, graphics, controls, and with Puzzle Kombat included.
6
This game is not bad, but some minuses: UMK3 hasn't difficult settings. Another minus is two screens - for fighting game, this is not good choose.

A must-own for every fan of Ultimate Mortal Kombat. The arcade-perfect gameplay and the addition of online multiplayer make this port an irresistible package.

The addition of online play is certainly UMK’s biggest selling point. If you are a huge fan of the series and plan to take the skirmishes online there is no reason to hesitate picking this one up. This is by far the best portable Kombat game to date.

A fine arcade port but ironically it lacks the guts of more modern scrappers. [Feb 2008, p.69]

It’s hard to truly recommend UMK. But the genre isn’t abundant on the DS, and Mortal Kombat still retains some of its charm.

A great online-enabled emulation of a so-so fighting game (plus a lame puzzle game) which looks rather anaemic now that violence in video gaming is nothing to rave on about.

No, truth be told, this is far from the quintessential handheld MK experience. Mortal Kombat Unchained did more for the PSP and it's available at $20 less than this release over at EB Games.

Игра хорошая. Одиночный режим сложный, много персонажей. В неё интересно играть. Хороша игра на DS.

This is pretty much a port of the third Mortal Kombat and puzzle Kombat. The games main problem is technical glitches (stuff like screen tears and sound cutting off.)

To be honest i really liked this game, Ultimate Mortal Kombat AI always whooped on me so its never really fair. The addition of having all the special moves and all the fatalities is quite handy and Puzzle Kombat makes it a sure by for fans of the series. I recommend it to any hardcore Mortal Kombat fan out there.

If you go into this one expecting a good time on single player, you're going to have a bad time within.. 5 mnutes. Or first 3 battles. Depends on if youre playing puzzle or normal kombat. Really good conversion, but no difficulty slider. Skip this one unless you have a friend to play against.
SummaryUltimate Mortal Kombat combines the visceral thrills of the classic "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3" and the addictive puzzle action of the Puzzle Kombat component of Midway’s best-selling "Mortal Kombat: Deception" in a single DS-friendly package.
