    The game is great, 4 new characters goro, shao khan, blaze, and frost. All the characters are unlocked at the begining for ready arcade play, plus good extras the only down thing about this game is the graphics are a bit poor.

    Surprisingly fun and accurate port of the console title. Wish it had been the next one in the series, but this one is worth checking out if you like good beat-em-ups with gorey fatalities. Very sharp graphics, easy to control, tons, absolutely tons of hidden unlockables.

    What a fantastic port. MK Unchained brings everything from the console version and more. With the addition of Goro and Shao Khan (from the Gamecube version) you also get Kitana, Frost, Jax, and Blaze. It has a extra content to unlock, a new endurance mode and all the beautiful blood and guts we've come to expect from MK. The graphics look really great on the psp barely losing anythingWhat a fantastic port. MK Unchained brings everything from the console version and more.

The graphics look really great on the psp barely losing anything in the transition and the controls, though limited on psp, work very well and are pretty easy to get used to. Overall i actually like this version better than the console one. Great job.… Expand

    All the fun of mortal kombat deception but portable! However, there are better fighting games out there for the psp. Also, load times are atrocious. They can last quite a while. There is a lot to do in the game. However, it all gets pretty old after a while.

    Mortal Kombat Unchained is version MK Deception on PSP . Version for PlayStation 2 and Xbox Original has got more bad graphics or it seems . On PlayStation 2 at first half characters are locked , but on PSP all characters isnt locked at first . All Versions are good , but i think version for PSP better than for PS2 . Normal . 7/10 .

    Really hard game with not so good graphic even for psp. I really appreciate the fact that there is so much to do in this game, things as chess or puzzles as well as some kind of free roaming game... But at the end nothing was interesting for more than hour. Very slow and clunky mechanics. Not my cup of tea.

    It's no "Tekken: Dark Resurrection," but baby-proof controls and some intriguing extras make Unchained an above-average face-rearranger. [Dec 2006, p.90]

    If you've already grown weary of the series, Unchained definitely won't change your mind; but if you have a few more fatalities in you, pick it up. Who knows? Its unique, cathartic brand of violence may prevent a road-rage incident.

    Midway took the one title with the most variety and replay value in the entire MK stable and shined it up nice. We’ll take it.
