A fun, bare-bones throwback to the old-school MK games.

Two years ago, I purchased the limited edition of "Mortal Kombat: Armageddon" and as a casual fan of the series, I liked it. It wasn't "God of War II" good, but it was good. The "Motor Kombat" was a cute diversion, but not as good as the tetris/chess games of "Deception" and the action-oriented "Adventure" mode was decent. The best thing about "Armageddon" was the large cast of fighters, the create-a-fighter mode and "Ultimate MK 3". The fighting engine was dated and so were the visuals, however.

I purchased the "Kollector's Edition" of MK Vs. DC for the PS3 and I am pleasantly surprised. After the juggernauts "Gears of War 2" and "Call of Duty: World at War", this is an equally enjoyable game. In fact, more so than "Soul Calibur IV" to some degree. All the new additions to combat are great; and the DC characters will probably see more playtime than the MK set who have been given additional moves. The Unreal Engine doesn't get too much of a workout (hello "Gears of War 2" and PS3 "Bioshock"), but the framerate is perfectly smooth and the whoever will put on a headset for online fights will have a great time. This is a great fighter and the sequel will be equally enjoyable. I love it!
