Good

Works, but not the best sensing ever

There is no reason to buy this game if you have another version of it. It is definitely a solid game, but the Wii Remote motion sensitive controls are lacking.

When they work, they are intuitive (enough) and easy to remember, for the most part. There are different move sets for different characters--which there are plenty of--and different types of moves use similar motion gestures, typically. For example, teleport moves mostly use one up-down or down-up motion, regardless of which character you're playing as. This means adjustment between characters is a bit simpler, because for the new or casual gamer, the motion controls are easier to perform than typical button sequences and combinations.

I would recommend trying this to fans of the franchise, but because of inconsistent performance of motion gestures, I would probably recommend another version before it, because it would be cheaper and on par with this one.

Good but only for MK fans

This game is really good. The controls are tight but take some getting used to but pulling off special moves will be easy once you play for a little bit. The game offers every single MK fighter EVER! This is good but if you don't know alot about the fighters its hard to know each ones abilities and if you should play as that character or not. There are alot of unlock-ables but are only able to be unlocked by playing through a very dull adventure mode. There is also a create a fighter mode but once again unless you know alot about MK you wont know which moves you should equip to your fighter. There is also a mario kart rip-off called kart kombat. This is just a distraction to the real mode and is not very fun. The graphics have the look of the PS2 version but are not horribly bad. I recomend this game to anyone familiar with the franchise but if you are looking for a fighter and are new to MK than pass on this one. I give it a 7.

A review from a MK fan

This game was pretty good but lacked some of the things I would of wanted in a new MK title. The arcade mode was good but could of been longer and more challenging where the story could have been a little less frustrating and alot more fun.

Pros: Storyline was a creative thought, graphics weren't bad, many fighters to choose from, able to create a fighter, and new moves

Cons: Short arcade mode, new fatality system, story mode was frustrating and boring.

All in all though, if you are a MK fan, it may be worth checking out but definitely not buying.
