Ok this is way past its time but i still keep seeing this on other websites and i still remember the reveiws when it came out. Mk vs dc got screwed on its reveiws in my opinion everyone bitch's about the no DLC and yeah the combo challenges r a mess and the infinates suck when playing online, but its a great game. My main reason for being so steamed about this is that SF4 got a better reveiw y? The game sucked big time the graphics dont even compare to mk/dc, its a fighting game but all the stories r lame and point less ( blanka fights for his mom, the mexican wrestler fights to make new food, the 300 pound fat white guy thats a martial artist, wtf, the last boss was lame as hell SPAM!. Atleast ed boon did make a lame a** boss with his name (Seth). And yeah SF4 got DLC but who cares, why in the hell would u pay 5 bucks for new outfits no new charters just a change of close, and i dont know how many times ive played any SF game and think wow these back grounds r so lame oh look there's a guy waving the whole match and a girl jumping up and down. On a final note the online for SF4 is horrible, and dont get me started on the lame a** soundtrack id like to think i'm not alone in this. MK never gets the credit it so well deserves. Id like some feed back from my fellow MK players and remember this is just my opinion.

Mk vs DC was a rushed project, its clear not much time was invested in the actual testing of the game. All the bugs,glitches and infinites are a result of this and create an imbalanced fighter which caters to the cheap and un-skilled. I think street fighter got a better review because it was more polished and the fighting is well..better. Also street fighter must have had more effort concentrated on the Online aspect because MK vs DC seemed to have no testing at all, everyday i come across and new visual glitch while funny at the time can start to wear thin. Mk also introduced stupid gimmicks such as 'free fall combat' which takes the pace out the fight and is a GUESSING GAME. Who puts a guessing game is a fighter?.

I do prefer MK and all the character's over street fighter but i feel its unfair for street fighter to get a worse reviews when its clearly a better game.

You cannot just throw aside the broken online component when talking about a fighting game; that is pretty much most of the game. The Single Player mode comes and goes within hours, but the online play is what keeps you coming back for more, or at least it should. While I do agree that SFIV was slightly overrated, MK vs DCU got what it deserved in terms of reviews; it got a few 9's from people who loved it, and it is hovering at around 75% at Metacritic, which is exactly what this game feels like. This is also why the Halo series constantly gets great reviews even with a weak Single Player Campaign. I do believe the Halo series is overrated, but it's online component is just too fun and too compelling to bring down the weakness that the Single Player provides.


While some parts Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe are very well done, it is not enough to allow someone to ignore it's very obvious flaws. This game always felt more like a money grab than a full release, with it's small character selection, small arena selection, short single-play Story Mode, no unlockables, broken characters, and broken online. It doesn't really deserve high reviews, even though it did get multiple ones.

I loved the game, though it was just laggy, not enough extras, and the 'alities. I'm pretty sure that they learned from their mistakes. Also the fans can rush the developers as well. "WE want the game now"!

Though in my opinion, all the stuff from the Kollector's edition. Should of been on the game.

Also I know what you mean about Street Fighter.

SFIV got a better review because it's a better game.

I think Shinnok looks like a girly pirate. Kidding.

Anyways, isnt MK vs DC a little too old to be ranted about?

Instead of something inflammatory for a signature,
how about something more life-affirming,
like "Reach for the Stars" or
"Hang in There"?

Marvel vs. Capcom is great despite how unbalanced it is sometimes.

But at least it doesn't suck. Like Street Fighter.
