    The changes are as skull-shattering as we had hoped -- rejuvenating a franchise in dire need of a makeover.

    The Wii handles violent OTT theatrics like no other console, but a fresh game would have been much appreciated. [July 2007, p.48]

    There’s a lot of game here for the money, and as long as you haven’t already played it, it’s definitely worth picking up.

    This one doesn’t redefine the fighter genre, but it’s still a fun Wii fighter that interested players can enjoy if they’re willing to put up with some small problems here and there.

    The new motion-controls - a feature we cringed at when first announced - unexpectedly make the game that much more enjoyable.

    As much hype as the gesture system has generated, using the Wiimote to play a fighting game designed for a standard interface just doesn't work. [June 2007, p.80]

    Game is cool. But it have big minus - fatalities. Fatality is so hard and boring in this game.

    This game is exactly what I was expecting: the quirkiness of the Mortal Kombat series, TONS OF FUN WITH FRIENDS, not terribly technical, and This game is exactly what I was expecting: the quirkiness of the Mortal Kombat series, TONS OF FUN WITH FRIENDS, not terribly technical, and absolutely TONS of kontent. One important thing to note about this game is that it solves the number one problem in the Mortal Kombat series to date, which is "dial a fatality" or "dial a special move" (absurd, arbitrary, and difficult button combinations to do special moves and fatalities). This only makes the game easier to pick up and helps increase the flow of the game.… Expand

When I Was A Kid I Enjoyed This Game Under The Age Of 18 Although It Is Rated M For Mature, This Game Gave Me Nightmares Because I Did Not Quite Understand The ESRB Ratings Back Then. Sure The Kreate A Fighter Mechanic In This Game Is Great. I Think I Should Go Stick With The Other Mortal Kombat Games Instead Of This One. What This Game Needs Is A Remake.… Expand
