    The issue about MK Armageddon on the Wii is: Do the Wii controllers suit a fighting game? The answer is: Surprisingly, YES. Despite the fact that I was really concerned that it wouldn´t work at all, the wiimote+nunchuk not only allow you to perform the supermoves in a easier way, but they also make combos (performed on the + pad) quite simple. Furthermore, excluse to the Wii, you can play the aggressive SUVIVAL mode, which was a really welcome add. MK Armageddon is definitely a very nice fighter.… Expand

    Wii remote makes it amazingly easy. Arcade/versus is as fun as ever, even better actually, motor kombat is always a good time, but kombat is basically just an excuse to unlock new things.

    As an old fan of MK, since the first one till 4th, I find this one exciting and refreshed! Nice graphics with 480p at 60fps a lot of characters, new and old, superb sound and pionneer control with the Wii mote. Also loved the own-deadly-fatality thing!! A must-have game for Wii owners and MK fans ofcourse.

    best fighting game ever made. period
    if you liked the old school mortal kombat games, this is the zenith. the only drawback i would say the game has is the generic nature of the fatalities. I would prefer each player having their own signature move, but there ARE a lot of characters, and it might have gotten to be a bit much to expect THAT many unique fatalities.

    All of the basic attacks have been moved to the Wii remote's d-pad, which is awkward enough by itself. The bigger change is that the special moves are now associated with controller movements. [June 2007, p.113]

    Get two people together and it's damn good fun! [June 2007, p.90]

    The Wii handles violent OTT theatrics like no other console, but a fresh game would have been much appreciated. [July 2007, p.48]
