The Armageddon has just begun!
User Rating: 9.5 | Mortal Kombat: Armageddon WII
The grand daddy of all fighters makes its appearence for the first time on Wii. You get all the characters from all the MK games(MK4, MK:DA, MK:D, etc)& most of the stages from past MK games, as well as the game it self. You get 2 other games with it to; Motor Kombat & Konquest. Motor Kombat is a Mario Kart style spin off which you can choose one of the characters & stages, complete with fatalties. Depending on what character you have chosen, they have their own special moves. For example, Scorpion can do his famous spear, complete with "GET OVER HERE!" saying, while Sub-Zero can shoot a freeze ball to an opponent & they are frozen for a short time. In Konquest, you play as Taven, & unlike the past Konquest's, you now have to fight people. Now back to the fighting game, as well as the 60 characters, there is also the ability to "Kreate-a-fighter". This mode lets you add different parts & other crap "pimp out" your customisable character. Whats more, if you suck at the Wii-mote & nunchuck, you can use the Classic Controller & Gamecube controller. & heres a special treat only for owners of the Wii & the Wii version. Khameleon, the female replacement of Chameleon(who was from the PC, PSX & Saturn versions of Mortal Kombat Trilogy) who was only in the N64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, will make a playable debut in the Wii version only(as well as the male Chameleon), making a whopping 61 characters in the Wii version(not including the creatable characters). Unfortunately, this gets rid of the online play :-(
Overall, despite its flaws, this game is excellent.
Good:
Every character from every MK game
Loads of unlockables
Wii exclusive Khameleon
"Kreate" your own fighter
Motor Kombat & Konquest is fun
Uses the Gamecube & Classic Controller
I'm loving the new Kreate-a-Fatality system.
Bad:
Online play absent
Has some flaws
