Summary
Game Description
The legends are true: Mortal Kombat is seeing some huge changes. Midway has unveiled Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe for the PS3, a re-imagining of the classic brawler. As you might have guessed, DC Comics is lending a few well-known faces, including Superman and Batman, as playable fighters (there are 18 confirmed characters). The big news is that MK vs. DC is not expected to feature the gory Fatalities that the series is known for, and spurting blood will be kept to a minimum. That means you probably won't be chopping off Superman's head or ripping Batman limb-from-limb, unfortunately. Also available in a Kollector's Edition for $69.99.

Best MK game ever
If your a real MK fan, your going to think like me, this game is awesome. The best part of this game is the game play, it feels like MK III. Another great feature is the online experience. This game is by far the best fighting game I have ever played.

Better than whiny MK fans thought
I would not have bought this game without the DC side in it, so I'm not a MK fan, nor am I a fighting game fan. Yet, this game is fun. The online multiplayer is great, and the graphics are amazing too. It runs on the Unreal Engine, and every character gets scratches and cuts throughout. The gameplay is fun, but the only problem is with the computer players and you. You find it hards to string some combos together, much less supermoves, while the computer can put everyone of its super moves into one combo. Klose Kombat and Free Fall Kombat are fun, but when they do it to you, you have a little chance in hell, but when you do it to them, they can turn you around and slap you to hell. The difficulty isn't extremely hard, but it's just annoying that they can do things so much better than you. Overall, its a good game, and I highly recommend it to fighting fans, and comic junkies.

Review:
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - PS3
Check your brain at the door and you'll enjoy this campy, ludicrously over-the-top fighter.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Though far from a technical fighting game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe exceeds expectations by delivering a solidly enjoyable casual fighter. The Mature-rated gore is missed, but the core combat here feels more confident and energetic than it has in years. -
