Good couples therapy

This game is great after the kids go to bed. We have two little ones. We haven't perfected yet how to do which moves when; but, sometimes it's just fun to wing it and see who wins!
THIS GAME RULES !!!

Mortal Kombat is ok. i am not that much of a fighting dude but the car races are fun. i would only advice you to buy this game if you are a game collector.
Very good, but it has its flaws..... 2007-12-04
This is a great game with a really good storyline and overall a fun game, but sometimes things get too repetitive in konquest mode and the fatalities are very challenging to do. The graphics are good,but somewhat unrealistic like when you rip a guys head of blood shoots out of his neck like a super soaker! Finally overall i strongly reccomend get this Game.
Better than the PS2 version 2007-11-20
The Wii controls are much more fun than the PS2 version. The load times are very fast. Also, the addition of Khameleon makes this game even more worthwhile.
Best of the MK Series 2007-11-13
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon celebrates the best-selling fighting game by giving you the most complete roster ever. Choose from more than 50 fighters from the entire Mortal Kombat universe - past, present and future. From Liu Kang to Shang Tsung to Shao Kahn, they're all here -- along with an incredible new Kreate-A-Fighter and Kreate-A-Fatality modes. With more playable fighters than any other Mortal Kombat game to date, it's the most complete, intense and lethal fighting experience ever!
well worth it 2007-11-03
I rented this game, and it was so rad that I had to buy it. The best part about it is challenging a roommate or friend to a battle, and being able to use the player that you created.
It's just easy enough that if you have had game experience you can pick up the wiimote and dive into two-player mode, and not feel left behind.
nice but... 2007-11-01
I like this game don`t get me wrong it could be refreshing and at the same time bring memories of the first titles released more than a decade ago. It features a couple mini games as you probably now by now like motor kombat which is kind of a Mario karting but with mortal kombat characters it`s fun!
Now about the wii controls for fighting which is what interests the most to players well sure it`s easier to do the special abilities of every character but at the same time I find it harder to fight, a lot harder.
For this reasons and I think the guys at midway understood that an arcade game needs some speed on buttons, you can also play with another controllers like the "wii classic" attachment or game cube controllers which I think it easier for fighting but less fun than with the wiimote.
Neat fighting game 2007-08-18
Control can be a bit diffucult to execute with the Wii remote. Over all quality of this game is very good but too bad you can't play against other players online.
Wii Controls NOT Nearly As Bad 2007-08-01
I am a "returning" gamer (haven't really played since SNES and a brief 3DO ownership in the early 90's), having been romanced by the Wii into coming back. I am 26 years old, married, all that jazz.
Anyhow, I used to play Mortal Kombat II as a kid and, to me, ONCE YOU'VE DONE TRAINING MODE for a while, the Wii controls work great. They work consistently for me, BUT I have significantly modified some of the suggested moves. For example, the "U" shaped moves I perform in the sort of way you would a "hit" in Rayman, when you're playing a music game: like hitting a drum with a drumstick, except I either do a little roll to the left or right at the end depending on what move I want.
Coordinating the B button is not that hard, come on. Go into training and do the moves repetitively until it happens every time. Was a little long for me, but I remained humble, had some faith in the developers and sure enough I found movements that worked for me.
The back-forth or forward-back motion requires you hold and move the remote on a fairly flat plane. My wife pointed out when I was not performing it correctly, my motions were "warping" to one side or another, or I was holding the remote oddly. A nice flat back-forth works great, every time.
Just like other reviewers say, sometimes it doesn't work. But I honestly think this is just "in the heat of battle" excitement making you a little sloppy with what are physical motions.
Honestly, the only thing I really DON'T like about this game is the "rubber doll" feel to the characters. Sometimes I feel like I am playing with Barbie and Ken just like I did when I was a kid by making them fight. They seem to have this sort of glazed over sheen over much of their personality and it feels a little plasticy. But boy are they vicious.
Anyhow, a solid four-star game all around. Worth the purchase price, or at very least the price of a used copy.
