Playing "Ultimate Mortal Kombat" for the DS is so much fun, especially the online mode. I love playing the online mode and kicking everyone's ass on the internet. It is just so much fun. Well the true story.....I get my ass kicked more from other players online!! But no regrets. The online mode of this DS version is the best I've seen so far from this series. There has never been a more satisfying online multiplayer experience on the DS thank this MK game. It perfectly sets you up with other players online who are just waiting to show of their moves. I have always been a huge fan of the multiplayer online version games available on the DS and this game proves to be on top of my list. Watch the online Wifi multiplayer experience below:
Well coming back to the experience part, so how does it work? Well simple, you just switch on the game, chose multiplayer option and BANG! you are thrown into the MK world where your opponent is randomly selected. Then comes the player selection screen where you select your favorite player, and then you are into the game! The matches are configured as a normal MK game, 2 rounds = 1 match. After every match your rank is updated online. So in real-time you can track what is your ranking among other players around the world who are playing MK. I'm rated 1988.
The single player campaign is your regular MK 3 title format where you have an option to choose any of the 3 choices, easy, normal and hard category and then fight! The sound effects are top quality, no compromises here. The visual quality though is a little let down considering this is an actual port of the original MK 3 game. No visual improvements here. But no regrets, every downfall in visual is made up by seeing so much BLOOD! The blood effects are in full flow!
After you complete the single player campaign, you have an option to play the Puzzle mode which I'm not a big fan of. I liked to dive into the online mode more often than to play any of the other modes.
Sop if you are an MK fan and want to have a great fighting game on your DS, this game scores on all your requirements. If you want to play a online fighting game on the DS, then this game is a must buy. So keep fighting....FATALITY!
