Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe

On January 28, 2010, in Gaming, by Fahad Majidi

Concerned that the inclusion of superheroes might reduce the traditional MK diet of gore, gore and, for you sir, an extra side order of gore? Don’t be. Beheadings and dismemberings are out – after all, who wants to hack Superman’s head off? (Don’t answer that, Lex) But! There’s still plenty of blood spurting from Midways eight Mortal Kombat game. Perhaps the best example of this is the Joker’s fatality, available once you have pounded your foe enough to earn the famous ‘finish him’ prompt.

Joker marches up his opponent, whips out a handgun, and pulls the trigger. A red flag with the word ‘BANG’ flops from the barrel. Your opponent looks relieved; at least they do until Joker pulls out a second, very real, gun and blows their brains out. Comedy and carnage – this is very much Mortal Kombat like mama used to make. Batman is also a riot, his powerful throws and scissor attack – where he slides along the floor and wraps his legs around an opponent to trip them, slamming their face into the ground – making him the perfect character for newbies.

It’s clear that Midway is looking to entice new fans to MK by upping its accessibility. For instance, along with your health bar you now have a yellow rage meter that builds up as you take damage. MK traditionalists might not be so keen on a feature that gives weak opponents a way back, and it remains to be seen whether mashing the two universes together will really work.
