Mortal Kombat Armageddon is the latest offering from the MK series! This will be the last installment on the Xbox platform, and its going out with a bang. This time all fighters will come together to make the biggest MK fight of all.. Armageddon!!

MK:A comes packed with new levels including new 3d renditions of older 2d levels from past MKs. There is an all new Konquest mode, and the all new Motor Kombat, both of which are an incredibly amusing sidetrack from the action. The Krypt also makes a return and has also been reworked offering a ton of new media stuff. There are two never before seen features in any MK game, they are: Kreate a Kharachter(KaK) and Kreate a Fighter(KaF).

The Story
The fury of Mortal Kombat has brought the realms to the brink of total destruction. Every warrior has been summoned to this last epic battle, where survival depends on their ability to… FIGHT!

I’m calling shortest story EVAR!!!!!! ;)

Mortal Kombat ArmageddonThe Controls
MK:A follows in the footsteps of the last few iterations of the series with its control scheme, so you should have no problem at all picking it up. There is no response issues apparent anywhere. Just classic MK.

Graphics & Sound
Mortal Kombat just looks great! Its been polished to the point where you wouldn’t expect anything more from the Xbox. Everything from the weapons, clothing, arenas and even the blood look very clean and crisp. Particle effects add a nice touch to everything. The sound is clean as usual, but is not any major advancement. Although there are many new sound bits in there. The menu screens get an “A” in my book as well.

Mortal Kombat ArmageddonLasting Appeal
This Game is buckets of fun! I felt that the last few MK’s were great but a bit overwhelming in all the fighting styles. in MKA you have kept the best of the 2d and 3d games. Two fighting styles per character along with a weapon for each. Air Kombat has been added, reminiscent of MK2+3, and just looks superb and is as equally fun to watch somebody get whipped into the air then bounced off the ground into an air combo. In KaK and KaF you get to design your own charachter and your own fatalities down to the T. These two features alone will keep you occupied for hours on end just trying to recreate your favorite actor, superhero etc.. And finally with 60+ characters to choose from you wont run out of new kombatants to learn!

Motor Kombat is a fun mini-kart racing game that heavily reminds me of the Mario Kart franchise. It’s a rough game in many aspects but is fun and challenging.

In Closing
Mortal Kombat Armageddon brings it. It just brings it, and we at iBloggedThis are very satisfied with how it’s played. Not only that, but the game actually costs $39.99 which makes that THAT much more appealing. However, we do have a few minor downsides. 1) we do sorta miss the old fatalities, maybe they are in there somewhere, but the new KAF system is HOT. 2) I personally miss puzzle fighter, so i’ll have to keep deception laying around! But those aside its a well rounded game that has brought back the feeling that i had while playing MK3 in the arcade.
For $39.99 this game is a must to add to the collection
