This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Mortal Kombat Armageddon by AMN
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon won’t convince naysayers or haters of the franchise, but it will satisfy the fans. This is sort of an ultimate collection of everything Mortal Kombat ? with a fair amount of pros and cons. There’s a huge amount of characters to choose from, an entertaining number of modes to explore (including the surprisingly fun Konquest adventure mode) and an inventive gesture-based control system in place. However, the game’s motion controls can be unresponsive, causing a lot of frustration at times. Likewise, the lack of online play is unacceptable considering the Xbox build supported it six months ago.

This is an excerpt from the Preview of the Nintendo Wii game Mortal Kombat Armageddon by CVG
“Right, so move the controller like this”. Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat’s creator, is showing us how the Wii Remote is used to execute Scorpion’s spear attack in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon on Wii.
I’m in the game’s tutorial mode and I’ve got to hold down the trigger button and quickly flick the Remote right-left. But I’m buggered if I can get it to work.
“Try more exaggerated movements”, Ed fumes, standing right next to me. I’m concerned that I might smack him in the face if I start waving my arms round too vigorously. Bashing an industry legend on the nose, even by accident, probably isn’t the best of career moves.

Exclusive to the Wii version of Mortal Kombat Armageddon is the Endurance Mode, where players will put their killing prowess to the test, eliminating as many enemies as they can.
