Mortal Kombat Armageddon

Mortal Kombat Armageddon - PS2

Pros Cons
Epic boss fights Poor storytelling
Intense action Repetitive gameplay
Just plain fun  
Killing hoards of pathetic douchebags for enemies... priceless

This is the only Mortal Kombat game I ever bought, and I gotta say it's one gory hell of a good time. The character roster is pretty huge and I like how most of them are available right off the bat. Pretty every character in the MK canon is here to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and they're all out of gum. The fighting itself is pretty much been there, done that, but some of enviromental hazards are pretty entertaining. The one player mode, Konquest, (God, does every C word have be spelt with a K in this game?) is nothing to write home about. You start of as this half god tool of a character named Taven, who has save his daddy and decide the fate of the realms from Armageddon. (zzzzzz) The story line is boring and I skipped like half the cut scenes because the dialog and acting is piss poor. (it's even worse than Army of Two) The gameplay is nothing more than linear brawler with endless waves of morons to fight. Even tough I hate Taven's guts, he has some sweet powers that makes it all worth while. There's also these booby traps throughout the levels that kill me WAAAYYY more times than any of the occasional boss battles. Now on to the bonus content: we got Kreate-A-Fighter that is not very deep, but if your creative enough you can design some cool characters. I myself made a Ghost Rider like fighter... pretty badass if I say so myself. The biggest drawback is that you can only make one character per profile. (LAME!!!) And there's Motor Kombat, which is exactly like Mario Kart in everyway, only more violent, and with Mortal Kombat fighters. I'd must say if you love fighting games that are extremely bloody and totally badass then by all means get it. Sure it's mindless entertainment... but so is just about everything else these days. FINISH HIM!!!
