  • Summary: This sixth episode of the ulraviolent and visceral fighting series from Midway features all-new fighters include Darrius, Dairou and Kobra. More than 24 different kombatants, Konquest adventure mode and a Kombat Chess mini-game are also in the game.

  1. Positive: 5 out of 19

  1. It's not quite perfect but it's as close as you can get on the PSP for now, and until they design a new MK release specifically for Sony's handheld, this is definitely a worthwhile purchase for beat 'em up fans who enjoy the gore and novelties that the MK series has always provided.
  2. The loading times are a bit long, but once the limbs begin to fly, it’s hard to deny this game’s gory charm.
  3. It's no "Tekken: Dark Resurrection," but baby-proof controls and some intriguing extras make Unchained an above-average face-rearranger. [Dec 2006, p.90]
  4. Midway took the one title with the most variety and replay value in the entire MK stable and shined it up nice. We’ll take it.

    Surprisingly fun and accurate port of the console title. Wish it had been the next one in the series, but this one is worth checking out if you like good beat-em-ups with gorey fatalities. Very sharp graphics, easy to control, tons, absolutely tons of hidden unlockables. Expand
  4. All the fun of mortal kombat deception but portable! However, there are better fighting games out there for the psp. Also, load times are atrocious. They can last quite a while. There is a lot to do in the game. However, it all gets pretty old after a while. Expand
