    Graphically (PS2:480p, Xbox:720p, both with 60 fps) and gameplay (Air-kombat, new balance system and konquest) wise the best MK ever. Story is a bit weaker this time and Kreate-A-Fatality doesn't justify lack of old school ones. There are a few sound problems as well as some bugs and some recycled kontent but the superb graphics, huge rooster of karacters, great fighting mechanism Graphically (PS2:480p, Xbox:720p, both with 60 fps) and gameplay (Air-kombat, new balance system and konquest) wise the best MK ever.

    could have been better by longer konquest and ko-op and more selectability in kreat a fighter ... yeah thats eright the 101 things just aren't enough
    the fighting system IN MY EYES has held true to the original and earlier series but i want them to bump off create a fatality really not much fun unless you want to taunt a friend while ripping out his brain heart and spine i hated how    could have been better by longer konquest and ko-op and more selectability in kreat a fighter ... yeah thats eright the 101 things just aren't enough

    Best MK yet. All the characters! Ever want to pit Shao Kahn against Montoro? Here's your chance. The kreate-a-fatality system is a good idea....I wish it incorporated fatalities unique to each character....maybe next time though.

    MKA has impressed me like any other Mortal Kombat has in its time of release! I play the game on line and I have a blast when I play with the right people! some losers abuse the game by quiting on you or being cheap by using the same move over and over! The Air combo is kind of cheezy but some how they have pulled it off nice. Kreat a fatality is satisfying as long as you know what you MKA has impressed me like any other Mortal Kombat has in its time of release!

Konquest mode is satisfying but I am not playing it again and Motor Kombat is extra gay. They should have concentrated more on the arcade than to create motor kombat! Kreate a Karakter (KAK) is not too impressive either and too many people are cheap and annoying with their KAKs online. Overall an impressive enough game hope your next one is THE MK with no flaw!… Expand

    Its good but it lacks fatalities which I gotta get used to and endings which arent impressive at all. but on the up side you get kreate a fighter which is always a plus and every character in history which is another plus, take the good with the bad. Its not like Midway just gyped us big time, the just gave ussomething new. Good job.

    Great game, I just got the premium edition, and any MK fan would do good to get it. Although a little more simplistic, it's still tons of fun, good game.

    The reason for the high rating is plain & simple. NO, it's not the roster of fighters. It's for the Awesome & I mean AWESOME! Konquest Mode. They really pulled this one off.

    This MK is great, especially playing 2 player with your friend who know's suratul zilzila. But mortal combat doesnt even come close to salatul fajr. everyone should try these 2 games

    This is the best MK game ever. The konquest mode is really thrilling. Somewhat similar to mk deception the next best game after armageddon this game is one of the best games of the year.

    I gave this game a 9 because it deserves an 8.5, and I'd rather round up than down on this one. The only Mortal Kombat game with character creation, and it is actually good character creation. Otherwise, pretty standard MK title. Solid story, lots of unlockables. Very worth owning, high replay value.

    This game is great without a doubt. I loved the new combo systems as they were more challenging. Graphics are quite good for a PS2 game. Many different characters which made this game very fun to play. Its a bit simplistic but surely a good game to buy and play with friends. Storyline is great as well it kept me quite interested.

    Armageddon has a great cinematic intro and the worst story line. The only huge benefit of this game is that you have all the characters from MK universe! So its a great experience to play it against your friends. Also the new option of creating your own fighter is really nice. The biggest disappointment is absence of fatalities!

    Um jogo aonde tem todos seus personagens preferidos reunidos em um mesmo lugar, arenas que lembram várias fases dos primeiros jogos da série, criar seu próprio personagem, terminar um bom konquest, apostar corrida e muito mais. A única coisa que senti falta foi os fatality's, mas da para relevar...

    in this mortal kombat is a lot of choice when it comes to characters (58 plus 4 unlockable and 2 slots for created fighters ), but however it was not what i most appreciated in this mortal kombat . the excellent konquest mode
    is very detailed and worked and holds us to the screen.

    esse foi o melhor jogo que joguei de luta no ps2 e o melhor jogo que já joguei da série mortal kombat. o jogo apresenta uma ótima jogabilidade, senários muito bem feitos, fatalitys show. sem falar no modo de corrida que, em minha opinião particular deixou o jogo mais atrativo, pois é um jogo de luta e de corrida também.

    Este jogo é incrível! Eu recebi e ainda não posso parar de jogar. Os gráficos são tão detalhadas para um game e é desafiador, mas divertido e terá que jogar por horas! A história é complexa e profundamente pensado. O melhor jogo que eu já joguei de forma

    Normal graphics for Playstation 2, awesome ladder with cool final boss and in this game there are races (my favourite in this game) and in this game there is fighting and storyline in this game is cool too and I think this game one of the best MK Game and one of the best fighting games on Playstation 2, but Tekken 5 and Soul Calibur 3 are better . Awesome Fighting .

    It's like Deception, but less great. They tried to do so much in this game that it is disappointing to not have fatalities, just one variation to each character and etc. The best part of this game is the story it was really fun the Konquest mode. The Motor KOmbat mode was fun but it had some issues.

    Fue uno de los juegos de peleas que mas me sorprendió, en especial con la cantidad de personajes jugables, los minijuegos y grandes escenarios, aunque los personajes maso menos tenían los mismos combos y que hayan cambiado las fatalitys.

    "Armageddon" is perhaps the biggest MK game ever made. It features tons of content including a roster with over 60 fighters. The biggest addition to me is the Mario Kart-style racer "Motor Kombat". The Kreate-A-Fighter and Kreate-A-Fatality modes aren't the best, but are decent time fillers. While the game resembles its predecessors a little too much, fans should still have a blast with"Armageddon" is perhaps the biggest MK game ever made.

    Довольно неплохая часть, хотя некоторые нововведения были спорными. Удовольствие от игры, все равно можно получить. Есть сюжет, с смесью от 3-лица и обычных боев.

    Best Mortal Kombat game in my opinion, a big fan of the franchise, but still waiting a Mortal Kombat game to top this one. Loved the story mode, that there were different game modes, that I could fight more than one enemy sometimes. Also loved that I could create my own character.

    Why didn't they leave all 60 characters with their unique fatality? They wanted to innovate and they did ****
    other than that, the konkest mode has a perfect and brutal gameplay along with the fight mode, only the fatalities that really are garbage

    It may or may not be the blood-soaked ending to the franchise, but it's easily one of the most enjoyable games in the series and one of the most unapologetically fun games of the season.

    The biggest features in this game are the Kreate-A-Fighter, Kreate-A-Fatality, and Online modes. It's about time Midway included stuff like this! So yeah, go buy MK Armageddon ASAP! It's one of the major reasons why the PS2 still has plenty of life residing within its dusty innards.

    The immense roster is a glorious thing, but by altering the sacred Fatality, the action just isn’t up to the series’ standards or what fans expect.
