Game Positive: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Review

Midway is in trouble. The company itself is in financial limbo. They are cutting jobs to sustain themselves and recently they were delisted off the NYSE. Many see MK vs. DC Universe as Midway's last chance for survival. If this is the case, everyone should go out and buy their latest entry of the once-coveted fighting franchise, but not because it's a great game (it's not). Fans of the Mortal Kombat series should pick it up simply because it may be the last fighting title that Midway ever releases.

Pros:
* Interesting ideas for the fighting genre
* Freefalling, close combat, and test your might mini-games all work well

Cons:
* Better fighting games are on store shelves
* Story is ridiculous
* Most MK characters are boring
* Fighting system is stale
