  1. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is an MK fan’s wettest dream, but even those few new to the series will find it hard not to love this game.
  2. Armageddon delivers the culmination of all things MK. The roster is huge, the modes are many, the fighting has been nicely tweaked, and overall, it’s a fitting way to turn the page on another generation of this classic franchise.
  3. It makes for a big, if rarely clever package, entertaining if hilarious ultra violence is your bag, tryingly awkward and limited if it isn't.
  4. It's time for Mortal Kombat to go. [Dec. 2006, p.126]

    MKA has impressed me like any other Mortal Kombat has in its time of release! I play the game on line and I have a blast when I play with the right people! some losers abuse the game by quiting on you or being cheap by using the same move over and over! The Air combo is kind of cheezy but some how they have pulled it off nice. Kreat a fatality is satisfying as long as you know what you doing. Konquest mode is satisfying but I am not playing it again and Motor Kombat is extra gay. They should have concentrated more on the arcade than to create motor kombat! Kreate a Karakter (KAK) is not too impressive either and too many people are cheap and annoying with their KAKs online. Overall an impressive enough game hope your next one is THE MK with no flaw!

    I enjoyed this game, but believe me mortal kombat is and always will be the best on 2d especially mortal kombat trilogy and mortal kombat 2 are the best of them all! Konquest may get boring after a while but overall it is pretty good. single player is pretty good too, but there aren't many computer fighters you can fight against which is pretty stupid in my opinion. The fact that you can create your own fatalities is fun, but if you want to know how to execute them, you have to look on the internet!!!! again that is pretty stupid!! Motor kombat isn't that bad either but you will get bored very soon if you don't race with friends. Also there is the: create your fighter option and that is very fun, because you can select your own special moves, clothes, fighting styles and weapons. The fact that every single character (except human smoke and khameleon if you don't have the wii version) is awesome! But I do agree with Oz H that the characters should have their own fatalities instead of you blindly button mashing and that the endings could have been so much better. Expand
  4. The best episode of PS2, more sophisticated than Mortal Kombat Trilogy and more characters. For my part, I think the story mode is naive, always play with the character Taven. Why not play with others. I think it deserves 70 / 100. Expand
