    If you go into this one expecting a good time on single player, you're going to have a bad time within.. 5 mnutes. Or first 3 battles. Depends on if youre playing puzzle or normal kombat.
    Really good conversion, but no difficulty slider. Skip this one unless you have a friend to play against.

    Simple as the presentation is, the two titles are well developed. If all you want is a really solid, fun version of Mortal Kombat 3 that can go online, that's what you're going to get. It's good stuff all around.
  2. Mortal Kombat is an acquired taste and is looked down upon by most coin-op fighter enthusiasts because of its lack of strategy and its stiffness of control. UMK3 got rid of the stiffness, and the game truly is playable on the DS if you can get by the fact that the D-Pad is so small.
  3. Ultimate MK is a sharp fighting game that's still a lot of fun, but only against live opponents.
