So, they've released some new info about the crossover fighter that everyone seems to love to hate, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. It's cool that they're going to include some fatalities and some "brutalities", but not too terribly surprising, as it is a Mortal Kombat game. Hopefully, they'll be a bit more intuitive than
Armageddon's Fatality Button-Mash Scavenger hunt. I'll be interested to hear what Boon has to say about the game at Nerd Prom in a month or so, since apparently more about the roster will be revealed. I still think the game would be improved by the inclusion of Lobo and Spider Jerusalem, but I won't hold my breath. Ah well, a man can always hold out hope for some DLC. heh.
I know that a lot of people like to hate this game already. Hell, my first reaction was that there was so much potential for epic fail, but the more I think about it the more I think that it could at least be entertaining. And so far it does look nice, and I'm sure I'll at least rent the thing. Don't know about an actual purchase, but I've spent many a happy hour in the MK universe beating the crap out of friends. Yeah, it's not the best fighting game franchise out there by a long shot, but that's not to say that it's not fun.
Besides, this screenshot just made me chuckle...
What can I say? Sometimes I just like the idea of a Kryptonian eye-blasting a Hell-Spawned Demon-Specter in the face.
Though I still think that Spider Jerusalem's Fatal Intestinal Maelstrom Bowel-Disruptor fatality would be awesome. Of course, that would kill any chance the game has to retain a T rating.
Carry on Smartly.
