Product Description

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

4.0 out of 5 stars A game to keep you busy until Super Smash Bros Brawl, 22 Jun 2007
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
`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 fun to play. Although they may not suit everyone's liking, as it will take a few goes before you'll get used to and for a normally "pick up and play" genre, this may not be the case with this on the Wii.
Firstly, the Nunchuck is used to move the character about. The C and Z buttons are used to block and change fighting type.
Swinging the Wii-remote in specific ways, combined with holding down the B button pull off special moves. A is to grab, whilst the direction buttons are various kicks and punches.

Although MKA on the Wii is good fun and has lots of content and so many characters to keep you busy, but for it's first outing on the "next-gen" consoles, I think it would have been a bigger seller if it had of been released on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, mainly due to some people may be put off by the unusual control method. Still a fantastic addition to the series if you are willing to give it a few goes before you can actually begin to enjoy it. Then again, there is the option to play using the classic or Gamecube controller if you don't want to play with the Wii's innovative controls.

If you can't wait any longer for Nintendo's best fighter, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is a great game to fill the time until it's release and is definitely the best fighter on the Wii and the best Mortal Kombat game for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took a gamble, it paid off....., 5 Jul 2007

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I always read review for games before I buy them (usually). And saw this got a few average ones. 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.

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
i 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.
