    A must-own for every fan of Ultimate Mortal Kombat. The arcade-perfect gameplay and the addition of online multiplayer make this port an irresistible package.

    Mortal Kombat is an acquired taste and is looked down upon by most coin-op fighter enthusiasts because of its lack of strategy and its stiffness of control. UMK3 got rid of the stiffness, and the game truly is playable on the DS if you can get by the fact that the D-Pad is so small.

    A great online-enabled emulation of a so-so fighting game (plus a lame puzzle game) which looks rather anaemic now that violence in video gaming is nothing to rave on about.

    This is a surprising DS game. The Puzzle Kombat game is easily worth the purchase price alone. Its as good if not better than Capcom's Puzzle Fighter Turbo. Plus its got wifi multiplayer. UMK3 needs no explanation BUY THIS GAME!… Expand

    In all truth, this game deserves a 6.5 out of 10. The good: The new and challenging Puzzle Kombat mode makes the game a fun and time consuming challenge. The fact that (unlike many of the older M.K. games) it shows you the special attacks and how to do them mid-combat. The games fairly cheap pricing was worth it, though it may seem lacking at times. The bad: Steep A.I. will make the game extremely frustrating for players new to the series, and still posing a challenge to the seasoned veterans. The game has many buggy controls, and one mistake or glitch can cost so much that most people may take their cartridge out and use it as target practice on the range.… Expand
