The online works really well and it's a great version of a classic arcade fighting game.

The run-in combos take some momentum out of the game, and some characters are unquestionably lame (cough Stryker cough), but this game still knows how to pack a bloody uppercut. Finish him!

A decent game, a faithful port of a fun yet flawed game that longtime fans will love. Others, well, they hate this game.

Blood is cool and edgy, like me. I love dark and edgy games that have a lot of violence. Just like my favorite game of all time, Shadow the Hedgehog.

This port on XBOX 360 is bad because We can't execute fatalities and several special shots! Metacritic, please, can you rank scores for classic Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo versions?

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is just as addicting as it was several years ago. The game is definitely worth its 800 Microsoft Points ($10) cost since you can move online once you get tired of beating your friends.

Find good opponents, play private matches and enjoy. [Issue 14, p.116]

While it's still a far cry from the arcade, playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with friends is a blast, especially once you know how to pull off some of the crazier moves. Now, Microsoft (or Nyko, or whoever), get working on that arcade stick!

If you have fond memories of this game, and don’t mind the 360’s crappy D-pad, go for it, I guess. Everyone else, you’re better off getting Street Fighter II or, better yet, the latest Mortal Kombat game when it comes out.

Frenzied, frustrating and infuriating – but it is also addicting as hell. And while it might not be worth the full asking price of $10, it is a decent port of a solid fighting game from days gone by.

A pretty broken game but one that is loaded with entertainment value regardless.

You have no idea how badly I wish this worked. For a game that offers so much promise and nostalgia for its huge fan base, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on the Xbox Live Arcade turned out to be a travesty.
