The game features 22 playable characters with two of them being unlockable. While it does get some heat for being a T rated video game once you sit down and actually play it you find it more fun then one is lead to believe. Two worlds collide in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe with a original story that will surprise comic book and video game fans a like. That and you can not use finishers in the story mode, though I guess it would be strange to kill someone and then have them return for a later segment, still it is a game so who cares? All in all though it was fun, it has a lot of replay value in it. In the DC side of things Catwoman and Deathstroke get left off and three or four are left off the Mortal Kombat side. The main problems I had with this one is that in the two story modes every character that is playable does not have a chapter. Which sucks as I love the Marvel characters and enjoy them better than those of DC, yet Marvel seems to have complete boneheads doing their writing and such these days. This one trumps that game in that it has multiple endings in the arcade mode and a lot better fighting.

This one is also a lot more fun than an earlier game featuring Marvel characters called Rise of the Imperfects. I hate fighting games where everyone can face everyone and have an equal chance at winning with no explanation as to why. It was fun and they actually explain during story mode that all the things that were happening were affecting the powers of say Superman and Captain Marvel, hence why they simply did not dominate all the other characters as they probably should have. This one includes DC comic characters, hence the reason it is less violent, and I rather enjoyed their inclusion. I just enjoy the opportunity to do a finishing move, I do not really care if it is ultra bloody. The finishers are not quite as deadly and bloody as earlier incarnations, but I did not mind all that much. The other Mortal Kombat games I have played have really lacked in the fighting category, this one the fighting was really good and fluid.
