    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.

    If you're looking for a fighting game that uses the DS in innovative ways then you need to look elsewhere, but if you simply want the classic game you know and love to play in the palm of your hand then snap this up and battle away!

    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

    Okay, I gave it an eight although I really don't care for UMK but for the fact that its an arcade port fighting game with no slow down! Though, I would buy a street fighter 2 collection with online connection for the DS before anything else... DO YOU HERE ME CAPCOM?????… Collapse

    This is pretty much a port of the third Mortal Kombat and puzzle Kombat. The games main problem is technical glitches (stuff like screen tears and sound cutting off.)… Expand
