    Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is just as addicting as it was several years ago. The game is definitely worth its 800 Microsoft Points ($10) cost since you can move online once you get tired of beating your friends.

    The online works really well and it's a great version of a classic arcade fighting game.

    An over-the-top bloodbath classic comes back and delivers great online play, as well as good presentation for a retro title. “Get over here!”

    Although the AI is still a cheating SOB, it only takes 40 quarters and about 2 minutes of download time to make the game yours.

    A classic game that's enjoyable to play both in single player and online multiplayer. With so many fighters, finishing moves and secrets to choose from, the replay value is very high. The few negatives in the lag and matchmaking issues online cannot detract too much from the overall experience.

    While it's still a far cry from the arcade, playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with friends is a blast, especially once you know how to pull off some of the crazier moves. Now, Microsoft (or Nyko, or whoever), get working on that arcade stick!

    Blood is cool and edgy, like me. I love dark and edgy games that have a lot of violence. Just like my favorite game of all time, Shadow the Hedgehog.

The only real problem with it is the online mode. Some times it lages other times it will just freeze. But if you don't play online it is a great game and for only $8.00 its a good deal.… Full Review »
