Ironically, the MK franchise shares a huge similarity with its parent company Midway: its refusal to change. Since the franchise hit the PS2 in 2002, the fighting engine has remained largely the same, and in the era of such legendary titles as Soul Calibur 4 and Virtua Fighter, such stubbornness is a recipe for disaster. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe isn't a bad game; it's just too hard to justify buying when much better titles already exist. The game has some refreshing ideas, and if you can look past these issues, you may find some fun in Midway's latest romp.
