Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

[Shackelford]

Never got a chance to play it before so I'm going to buy it when it comes out Tuesday for the Wii. I just wanted to know what the Kreate a fighter was like. Is there alot of choices to choose from because I plan on trying to make Venom from Spider Man. Any help would be appreciated.

[Meth]

DONT BUY IT.The wii controller is just goona make the game worst than it already was.

I agree, do not buy this shitty game.

[Xerosnake90]

Wtf? Armaggedon is awesome. That's the first MK game I have enjoyed in a long time. If I had a Wii, I couldn't wait to try out the controls. I love the fatality system, and kreate a fighter...well....

No, you can't make Venom. The choices are very limited in a sense of actual customization. You can chose seperate faces and items but editing these items is limited to color most of the time. The only thing you could make resembling Venom is if you take Baraka's face, make your guys body black, and that's about it =P

You can also chose fighting moves but unless you're really wanting to get online and prove you're a badass, editing this is usually long and boring. I mean come on, I just wanna kick ass. The only real moves you'll wanna chose are special moves. Those can make you or break you.

I liked the game a lot. The create-a-fighter is pretty cool and there are a lot of options to adjust. You even get to go through and choose all of your moves and your weapon.

MK >> SF

It sucked balls. It was fucking shit. I'm pissed that I actually spent money on it.

[imnotatoaster]

Personally i thought the game was horrible, yeah it was flashy, but it lacked depth.

I mean the endings were them doing some stupid martial arts dance while it spewed out an irrelevant sentence or two that had no connections to anything the characters went through in the games up to Armageddon. The fatality system was fun until you realized that it is extremely lame to rip off arms and hit them with it for EVERYONES fatality.

At least they should have had the old ones, and maybe the kreate a fatality implemented in, i mean, what kind of game is mortal kombat without reptiles signature face melt? or Sub-Zero's freeze and shatter?

Midway has gotten shittier and shittier since the 3rd MK. They can't even half ass it like the old ones and put a picture in at the ending of each character. They just sit behind their desks and jack off shit onto their computers and into our homes while their pockets are lined with gold from everybody buying something with the circle dragon MK logo on it.

To put it short, i have been thoroughly disappointed in this game.

[Shackelford]

So you can't do character specific fatalities? I'll rent it instead. I'm not buying it for just the fatalities but it's pretty stupid to not even have the character specific ones. That was the cool thing about the series.

Dude, choosing all of your fighters moves is well worth the time. I made my character so unbeatable it was awesome!


But, ya this game is pretty capital, don't listen to all that crap about character endings. Who gives a shit? MK is about fighting. The only MK game that I actually liked the endings in was MK4, but that doesn't mean all the other ones sucked.

Oh no, sorry for not making it more clear, i forgot about talking about kreate a fighter, that was really awesome.

I also never said the other ones sucked, i just thought there was a decline from mk3 and on, just a personal opinion i guess.

I didn't add that multiplayer, this game isn't that bad at all, i still own it just to play with friends, but i love the MK series, and so the endings in single player i actually want to know what has been going on, and learn new things(call me an MK nerd i guess) so it is kind of interesting to me.

The fighting is still great, as always, but they could have done so much more with the technology they have now as opposed to the older genesis games, but it seems with the funding they just kind of shorted the gamers on Armageddon.

[hellnback]

all the mk game from the first to the third were great. i think 5 was pretty good too but with armageddon i thought it was decent, only thing that makes me dislike it was the fatalities. all the character specific fatalities were gone from the game and instead we're allowed to input several button and controller combinations to perform fatalities where you rip the opponants arms, legs, whatever and then beat them with them. i don't bother doing any fatalities when i play the game mainly cuz they're not worth it.

as for character creations i've created characters like lara croft, ghost rider, and even some characters from the buffy tv show, like faith. there are other characters you can create but venom there's nothing in the game to create that character.

[kirtar000]

Deception was a MUCH better game.

[Xerosnake90]

The only thing I can really agree on is that I was dissapointed to see no character specific fatalities. I would've liked to be able to do the combo fatalities or just put in a long one to do character ones.

[eprops]

Deception was NOT a better game, it was more broken than Armageddon. Everyone practically had infinite combos. The only thing I liked about Deception was the Hari Kiris and a much longer quest mode but I prefer the gameplay off Armageddon's.

As for Armageddon's storyline, Boon mentioned about putting in the bios but Midway gave them a set time to deliver the product so instead they have made the bios for each character online. Found here http://www.mkarmageddon.com/

I think people make complaints on MK no matter what. Its either people get tired of a few fatalities or they get tired of the idea of having alot. You just can't be pleased.

Sad part is I'm not heaviliy into MK. lol
Heres also a good Armageddon combo video, there are a lot of new ones but recently taken down so this will suffice. http://youtube.com/watch?v=08dWB4p8XqE You can also see the buttons being inputted for either the PS2 or Xbox version so you can try it out yourself.

[Shackelford]

I decided I'm just going to get it. Looks fun and has been getting pretty good reviews so far.
