The GameDaily One-Minute Review

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!! Midway (Ed Boon and his team, rather) have once again served up a deliciously violent 3D brawler with plenty of over the top shenanigans. Mortal Kombat Armageddon is fantastic for so many reasons. It's got the largest roster of any MK with 60 plus fighters, a great selection of interactive arenas, and of course, lots and lots of gore. You can knock guys into pools of acid, push them into oncoming trains, and watch them get shredded by meat grinders. Of course, you can also punish them with fatalities, and what's especially cool about this year's batch is the level of interactivity. Instead of just watching a canned animation, you can link up your attacks, which is really sweet. Past all of that stuff, Konquest returns, but it's much more like Shaolin Monks, with you scouring the globe kicking the crap out of everyone. The Krypt also makes a triumphant return, and there's just a ton of things to unlock. But the biggest features in this game are the Kreate-A-Fighter, Kreate-A-Fatality, and Online modes. It's about time Midway included stuff like this! So yeah, go buy MK Armageddon ASAP! It's one of the major reasons why the PS2 still has plenty of life residing within its dusty innards.
