It could easily be that you all did not master the training of the Wiimote or watch the videos. Or learn the moves! This makes special moves, and fatalities so much easier. This game is amazing.

For some reason my girlfriend cannot execute the moves on the wiimote, so she uses the classic controller.

For some reason I can execute them all the time! By simply holding "B" and moving your wiimote in the direction the move is placed, you execute a special move. Say Sub-Zero for instance: His freeze ball is USUALLY Down,Right,Punch. In the wiimote controls, you will hold B, then move your wiimote down, then curve to the right. It's easy. Sometimes it will mistake my wiimote moves and do another special move, but most of the time it works. I recommend having your sensor bar positioned above your TV with the setting "Above TV" in the Wii Settings menu.

You're not getting much different than the ps2 and xbox versions, but you can tell the differences. Chameleon now has Khameleon, the girl version. The wii version does not contain UMK3, as this will be a release on the Wii's virtual console.

I recommend this game to any MK fan.

MK Armageddon for the Wii was great though the new Wiimote controls started off a bit sluggish after adjusting the sensitivity for my sensor bar all is working as intended. If you have enough patience to give the new Wiimote controls a chance it is a great way to play the game. My only real complaint is the Fatality system because of its simple yet complex functionality it gets really boring seeing the same finishers from every character. I would definatly recommend this game just don't try to play it with the GC remote or the classic remote it just gets too annoying. All in All 7 is what i rate this game. Due to minor changes that were made such as the Fatalities being removed.

First off this game isnt really for the Wii the way they made it. When in the fighting mode you use the D-pad on the Wiimote to punch and kick and use the nunchuk to move around. So if your into actually getting into the game like most people do when playing a game on the Wii then this isnt for you.
The game itself isnt too bad. There are alot of characters to choose from and is pretty good if you use the classic controller but I would have rather rented it for the Xbox360 so I'd atleast get better graphics. There is a little game called "motor kombat" which is kind of like Mario Kart thats kind of fun. All in all the game was decent but if you have a system besides the Wii I suggest you rent it on that instead since you'll probably end up playing it with the classic controller anyways.
