Fortunately each character will utter unique lines during their finishing moves but the dialog is so terse and cliché that it makes the Terminator seem almost Shakespearean. Each character will have one special hand-to-hand move as well as a special weapon move. The kicks, punches and combos are all the same and are even mapped to the same buttons, which is fine if you don’t want to memorize an entire new move set for each character. Aside from a couple of special moves there is little to set them apart from each other. The same can be said for the standard-issue fighters.

You’ll have full control over the shape of their heads, hairstyles and outfits but the moves that you select are mostly generic. The customizing options are more aesthetic than anything else. And if you can’t find one that you like, then you can make your own with the Kreate-a-Fighter system. There are more than 60 different characters from all the MK series. Characters such as Scorpion, Stryker, Sub Zero, Jax and Goro (the boss) are all included. The characters’ movements are stiff and many of the stock animations appear at strange times making the entire combat process look awkward and even broken at times. You would think this game would play as smooth as a Rolls Royce by now but I find it quite unresponsive - and pardon the pun - sluggish. Unless you’re a huge fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise, there is little here that can compete with the glut of new fighters that figuratively kick this one’s ass.Įverything about MK: Armageddon is old and tired. This is a dated fighting game that has run its course. There are tons of characters in Armageddon, as well as some new modes and combat elements, but all of these new additions can’t disguise the fact that this is the same old Mortal Kombat at the core. This game has the looks but it just doesn’t have the moves.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, as the title would suggest, is not the end of the world, but it may signal the death knell for the series.

The Mortal Kombat series is showing its mortality.
