Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

For the first time, the makers of Mortal Kombat have decided to invoke the right of all superhero properties and create a crossover. This crossover is with the Detective Comics Universe. Big names like Superman, Batman and the Green Lantern mix it up with Liu Kang, Scorpion and Sub-Zero in a match to the near death. I say near death because the DCU superheroes are not allowed to kill, but the super villains and all of the MK characters have no such restrictions.What this game comes down to is a slugfest between two different properties in a storyline that forces the good and bad people to eventually team up to separate the two merging realms. The merger of the MK and DCU realms are also the reason why powerhouses like Superman and Green Lantern simply cannot take out their enemies in one hit.After playing every fighting game in MK history ever available on a game console, it comes to no surprise how the controls are essentially the same. The controls are still low and high punches and kicks with blocking. Of course entering a specific sequence with these buttons creates special moves and finishers. There are a few new tweaks, such as the new testing one's might and freefall kombat sequences and the ability to increase certain statistics during a match for a small period.The game modes are divided between both the MK and DCU properties. The storyline is based on each character’s perspective and eventually the two properties merge and separate with a mix of interactions. Returning is the same fight mode that has been around since the beginning. Players fight their way up a line of random fighters to become number one. This game also sports an online mode that enters players in to a waiting room to make or await challenges. Keep in mind some players may rank low, but in essence are seasoned experts at Mortal Kombat.The main draw of this game is the inclusion of the DCU characters. The online play and the additional tweaks are appreciated. They add some freshness to an old formula. There are four additional characters to be unlocked, two from each property. This game is a buy for players who love the MK and DCU properties.
