60+ fighters. A mythical tournament. And blood. LOTS of blood. Has to be Mortal Kombat then. The latest in the series sees the fighting over the years reaching breaking point….ah who cares about the plot? It’s all just an excuse to get uppercuting, spilling lots of blood and those immortal words “FINISH HIM!” shouted as loud as possible. Do we really NEED another Mortal Kombat game though?
Well, yes and no. This is a step forward for Mortal Kombat, though its essentially the same game it always was, with tweaks. The Kreate-A-Fighter mode lets you make your own fighter and take him/her through the tournament (time consuming, and a little repeditive if we’re honest), and the new Kreate-A-Fatality mode does had some interest, even if it proves very annoying at first. Simple button combinations ending with one bodypart ripping finisher, which you WILL get to grips with, if you spend enough time with it….
Vastly improved from Mortal Kombat: Deception though is the Konquest mode, which plays much like Streets of Rage, which isn’t bad in my book, and is actually rather enjoyable, instead of a chore. However the ‘Motor Kombat’ is quite, quite poor, looking and feeling like a poor mans Mario Kart. The controls are, well, garbage, and it’s just not fun. Best avoid and get back to the bloodshed.
Mortal Kombat Armageddon is fun, and addictive in a way. The one downside though, aside from Motor Kombat, is that with 60+ characters, can you REALLY be bothered finishing it with all of them? Most likely not. Essentially, if you love Mortal Kombat, you’ll love this, though it’s unlikely to win many new fans. All together then….FINISH HIM!!
