Lol.You're kidding right.

The story is dire. I have yet to check out the gameplay.

I suggest looking at the home page of this website and read a review from IGN.com or Gamespot.com. I never had the chance to play this game due to the lack of fifty dollars at the moment, so I can't give you my perspective on this game yet.

nope.

Are you fucking kidding me!! The game is great..................who the hell did you get this bullshit from?

from the forums. its a lot of threads posted about how the mka story line sucks. and all the reviews points out nothing but negatives about the game.

the story line of the ACTUAL FIGHTING GAME...which this is, not the side game of konquest sucks....all of the endings reveal nothing about what happeneds to the characters. They got us all pumped up because they claimed they would kill off certain characters but the katas reveal no insight...everyone who wins becomes the champion. Plus there are not even any bios explaining anything about how the characters come back. If you ask me this is utter bullshit and just another MKTrilogy. The fighting is exactly the same as MKD which is not really a good thing or bad thing...pretty much indifferent. If the MK team didn't focus on gay ass motor kombat or even konquest maybe we could have had a decent FIGHTER with a good fatality system and cannon storyline without lame katas endings. Because their focus was shifted we have exactly same system of fighting as MKD with one less style and a half assed fatality system. I have been looking forward to this game for so long and I hate to break the news but it could have been 1000 times better. At least the KAK is cool tho, one bonus minus only swords and axes.

Soooooooo are you saying mortal kombat armageddon sucks? its nothing more than deception but with every character. See this some old bullshit. Boon and the team are trying to pull a fast one hay. every thing seems to have been done half assed all the way down to motaro. they could have at least gave us a good story then. Dammit.. Oh well ima still play the hell out of it when i recieve my copy just because im a die hard MK fan. Fuck but they really ruined it for me thou.

Its not what i expected it to be, but the characters are pretty cool, and Konquest is like Shaolin Monks, and Deception Combined, plus I havent found how to create a fatality yet either!! Other then that its pretty tight, has a lot of damn characters!!

well,well,its all about gamespot review
MK is fine as always,fun,and you know that without asking any one
well game spot gave her 7 over 10
but it her fucking opinion,and its lazy review
let me tell you something guys,
if you are really a mk fan
if you really love mk,
than you shouldn't worry about anything either the game is good or not
offcourse MKA is perfect,and will always be perfect
I don't give shit what game spot thinks,
but Iam impressed what they said
they shouldn't talk,they have a big mouth
we are with Ed boon till the end
take care

this come down to the good old saying..."if it aint broke.. dont fix it!"

the fatality system was a wrong move imo. what they should have did was leave this option in but also add character specific "enders". This would give the personallity back into the finishing moves. As boon said in the video, they wanted to do something diffrent with the fatalities as they always have. But, if you rememer, they NEVER touched the character specific ones, they always added to them.

The konquest mode is WAY too Linear imo as well. Personally i liked the one from MKDA better because of the free-roaming environment. All in all its basically the same game as MKDA with more guys and one less fighting style.

all i'm saying is dont get your hopes up dude..its not the same old crap..its worse..i hate the game but thats me..you might like it..but dont even begin to think its as GREAT as all these dumbasses say it is..because you will be seriously let down

I recently bought the Premium Edition last night. Luckily they had a full stock of 'em, lol. Armageddon truly is the next Trilogy. Only thing I don't like about it is that you can no longer do insane and long style branching combos (which I loved to abuse all day) since everyone now has one fighting style and one weapon style. What I do love about it is the incredibly large variety of characters (meaning lots of fun with friends), Kreate-a-Kombatant and not to mention the freakin' super fast speed of the entire game (selection menus, loading screens and actual gameplay). I like the game overall, and you should definitely get it if you're a Mortal Kombat fan, because it contains like every character. It's like Mortal Kombat 4, Deadly Alliance and Deception put together, plus more!

well, no, from what the majority of people say, it's mk4, mkda and mkd combined characterwise, then the rest is worse than all of them separately save maybe mk4. it looks fun and i will buy it but this is the biggest pisstake since robbie willaims made rudebox. no bios! wtf? no endings! are you joking, now they say there are FEWER fighting styles?

Are they actually trying to piiss off every mk fan out there? seriously!?

Do you think you could find a single fan and ask them if you think the MK have listened and made improvements accordingly. Can you find one that says that MKA was everything they expected it to be!?

What have they been doing all this time!?

The only optimistic perspective i can take on this is to see it as Konquest, then the arcade mode is a bonus. like shaolin monks. the fatalities look complicated and annoying, and should only really be featured for your KAK.

Can you all honestly see yourself playing arcade mode more than a few times? i reckon i should rent it for like £3 then ill get everything i want out of it within about an hour.

This is the new height of disappointment. Boon clearly stated, and everyone heard it, that this would somehow hint to storyline ie characters will die, from what i can see, none of thisis happening.

mka looks abso-fuckin'-lutely pointless (notice thats the first time ive sworn without replaceing certain letters with a * cos this seems like a necessary word to use) its barely even a fukin bridge between mkd n mk8.

do you even know what allignment the charcaters are? i wouldnt blame you if you had no idea! they could of had the decency to tell us this. with tekken tag, you KNEW that it was just all the cjharcaters, n only a bit of fun with no real storyline, so you werent disappointed.

i honestly dont get why theyve done this. from what i can see, all the fans have said similar things, so why arent they taking them into consideration?

fuk knows. if you can enjoy it, good on ya, maybe ill find a way to, but the mkteam need to sort out this problem, SOONER rsather than LATER

I think people are compling a bet too much.
I like the story line so far. Sure its like King of the Hill. But the ideal to keep the fighters in there place or they end up destorying the realms while NOT a great story, is decent. No complines on that.

I loved the game, personal.

I have some really mixed feelings on this game, does it suck no but it isn't as good as Deception was either, in some ways it is everything I have wanted in a 3D MK game like the ariel combat, the huge character selection, Create a fighter mode, etc, but other additions and parts of the game knock it down a notch. For starters the KAF system blows, there is simply no way around that fact and Boon should be ashamed he replaced the beloved fatality system that was in place with this mockery. As the last so-called MK game featuring many of the characters we love, they should of really went back and reimagined some of the classic fatalities in 3D for this game. I would of loved to see Liu Kang turn into a Zombie Dragon, Kung Lao slice someone in half, Scorpion do his toasty, Cage do his body rip, Shang burst outta of someone, etc instead of this crap that have inplace of it. Its sad to see that some characters are going to go out on such a sad crappy note, Boon should be ashamed he did this.

After two games of the three fighting styles system, the game kinda of feels unfinished with just two. Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way, but it feels just so limited now. As far as some characters not having their classic moves, I agree it sucks, but I guess some had to go to balance the game out and some classic moves that worked in 2D just don't in 3D. Graphics are also a sore spot with me, it just recycles to many character designs and backgrounds for me, they really should of added some more new costumes and Backgrounds because it feels more like a PC add-on than a actual new game. Also it seems the new backgrounds just suck compared to what was seen in Deception, way better stuff in MKD IMO. And maybe its because I bought MKA on the PS2 this time instead of the Xbox where I played the other two, but it seems that the game looks worse than deception which had better character detail and was just generally sharper looking.

As far as the create-a-fighter mode goes, it is just fine for me and what I want to create. maybe after I spend more time with it I will start to see how limited it is, but for now it is fine with me. Konquest mode is also fine with me, I didn't expect much so what I got is cool with me as is motor kombat. And the Endings are so-so, i agree that having Kata endings is a huge blow. As the last one in this story arc, there really should of been CGI or Artwork endings instead of what we got. As to how they actually play out, no MK has every had cannon endings, so I didn't expect this one to either and no true MK fan probably did either.

Over-all, While it boasted a smaller line-up, its better backgrounds, true fatalities, hari-Kari's( why did MD remove this awesome feature I never will know), sharper graphics, etc will forever cement MKD as the definitive MK game for the Xbox and PS2 and MKA just a runner-up.

The storyline is mediocre at best, but the gameplay is fairly solid. For those who claim this game sucks because of the storyline and endings......well, I have nothing to say that could help a lost cause.

what the?!?!?!?!?!

you friggin crazy??!?!?!?!?!

you muthasuckin f*****

no it does not suck.
even the create a fatality mode that it seems so lame is great.
doing a fatality was never as exciting as it is now.
If they expand it in the future and add new moves and characters specific finishers the fatality creation mode will be kicking ass.

No, it does not suck. In fact, its my fav MK! I think evrything about the game, except the akward storyline, is perfect. Don't believe what the reviewers say, this is a Hell of a lot better than the last two.

Yeah, if you can get it, get it. It's great, I see no flaws in it. And what do you mean, no story? The intro explains why everybody comes back!

I would agree with you sub_ro.There was nothing special or mind blowing about this game.First off Motor Kombat was a bad idea. I mean is this a kids game? Second off ,the Konquest mode was like a cheap version of MKSM.The gameplay has a few tweaks but nothing special.If you ask me i think Midway just wanted a few extra bucks with this game.I think ill stick with my Street fighters.I forgot to add,Ed Boon copied the parry system from the street fighters.I think they could have done alot better with this one.
