    You have no idea how badly I wish this worked. For a game that offers so much promise and nostalgia for its huge fan base, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on the Xbox Live Arcade turned out to be a travesty.

    This game is one of the best live arcade games. The only real problem with it is the online mode. Some times it lages other times it will just freeze. But if you don't play online it is a great game and for only $8.00 its a good deal. Full Review »

    This game does not work at all! The controls make the game hard to execute fatalities. Online isn't good a lot of the times because of the lagging. Sometimes there is no lag because of the high connection rate. It's worth the purchase if you are a mortal kombat fan. Full Review »

    AWESOME translation of this one. At first, I was skeptical because I played this one and though, "ah, its ok but nothing better than any other port" THEN I played the port included with the MK: Armageddon Premium pack for the PS2 and i must say that I am now TOTALLY impressed with how Microsoft re-did this one. The visuals, 5.1 Surround Sound are amazing! UMK3 is still a cheap fighter though due to the fact that the first 3 matches could be won by a 2 year old, but the matches after that are like playing against an Elder God..lol Gran this one for 800 MS Points! You'll NOT be disappointed! Full Review »
