wasn't impressed with this game. i thought it was going to be awesome, but it fell flat. the fighters are not easy to control and the moves are not definite. you'll do a move and it will come out fine then a few seconds later you'll try it again and it doesn't work. i wanted it to be better, really. i hope they make a street fighter for wii, and they better not screw that up! also the quest mode of this game was LAME, along with the racing mode. SUPER LAME. i'd say try it for yourself if you're a diehard kombat fan. that's what i like about gamefly, you can try before you buy so you don't throw your money away on a game like this.

its a fair game. i played all the little side-missions and games, but it just didnt spark my intrest.

i felt like the kombat racing and the single player campaign was all really corny.

the graphics are awesome, but the controls can be a little clumsy during fights, and the 2 player mode wasnt all i thought it would be either.

A LOT of guys to choose from tho...and the special moves are pretty awesome, but its all pretty simple.
the game has a typical "save the world" storyline and got old a little fast for me.

i had this game for a few days and returned it. it just requires too much button mashing. but if that is your kinda thing, then go for it! its not a BAD game overall, it just didnt keep my interest long.

Good

Par for the course, but that's not a bad thing.

I did have higher expectations for this game, and while they weren't exactly met, I wasn't all that disappointed either. With it's kreate-a-kombatant feature you can make a fighter that looks exactly the way you it too, granted you have to unlock the parts you want to make it with via playing the arcade mode, endurance, or the fun Konquest mode.
I did find Konquest disappointing in that you can use your own fighter, that would have made it more fun, the controls are a little tricky to get the hang of, as are fatalities, but they really allow you to be creative in that department. The Wiimote gestures are used to pull of special moves, and fatality combos. The graphics are good, as is the music, plus the stage fatalities feel pretty rewarding. All in all not a bad game, but it fell short of being fantastic.
