The fighting genre's poster (whipping?) boy for gruesome violence makes its final appearance on PlayStation 2 before moving in a new direction for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is thus a hostile homage to its frenzied fans, a love letter of sorts that tears away the heart-tugging sentiment for the still-beating heart. Armageddon offers the most significant throng of Mortal Kombat fighters thus far, with a roster spanning 62 combatants -- every minor and major character that has appeared in the series to date. The entire cast is also immediately playable from the opening screen.
The "Konquest Mode" introduced in 2004's Mortal Kombat: Deception returns with faster-paced action, two new boss characters, and a seamless blend of one-on-one and group encounters through an estimated six hours of story-driven action. While the core 3D fighting engine is similar to 2004's entry, the fatality system now allows players to create custom finishing moves. Players can also design their own fighter with an assortment of body parts, weapons, clothing options, and fighting styles to choose from. Each new combatant can challenge others online in a tournament or a single match.
Perhaps the most amusing addition for longtime fans is the debut of "Motor Kombat," a racing mini-game patterned after Nintendo's Mario Kart. Motor Kombat has players selecting a vehicle from the following ten characters: Sub-Zero, Bo' Rai Cho, Scorpion, Mileena, Kitana, Johnny Cage, Jax, Cyrax, Baraka, and Raiden. Each super-deformed driver performs his or her trademark move on rivals, from Raiden's electricity to Scorpion's spear attack. The themed courses also feature hazards of their own, including lava pools, spikes, fire, and more. Motor Kombat supports four players in a split-screen view, or up to eight online.

Mortal Kombat Not really my thing, but the grand kids give it 5 stars. Submitted by JESSEGoldsboro (Goldsboro, NC) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 2 found this helpful.
Classic!!! Mortal Kombat Armageddon is definitely one of the greatest games in the whole series. This game is the only one I can put somewhere near classic mK, MK2, MK3. UMK3 and MK Trilogy. Of course the fact that everyone had similar fatalities was annoying a little bit BUT look at great combos, unique graphics, wonderful arenas, soun AND OVER 60 FIGHTERS! Another great thing - you can create your own fighter and kick Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Mileena, Sonya, Johnny Cage's asses. Like A Dream. MK Armageddon is the best game of the 2000's Submitted by Irina (Ternopil, Ukraine) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 2 found this helpful.
Mortal Friggin'Kombat Everything that you could ever want in a fighting game is in this game. The Motor Kombat game is pretty cool, it's a nice litle diversion from the fighting, but great for fans of racing games. The Konquest mode is acceptional, not quite as good as Deception's Konquest mode, but they're both pretty close. Kreate A fighter is off the chain, I mean, how cool is it that I get to customize my own fighter. I hope they bring that back in MK9. Ok, enough babbling, If you're an Mk fan this is a must have.
