7 Most Disappointing Video Game Crossovers

7. Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe

Clearly made in response to the far better Marvel vs. Capcom series, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is just sad. It's not the worst thing ever but the gameplay just isn't as good as most Mortal Kombat games and without the ultra-violence of the series it just doesn't feel right.

It just doesn't have any of that Mortal Kombat flair, with the most notable example being the absence of the series' signature fatalities. The fatalities in the main games often involve ripping somebodies spine out - here they involve giving somebody a gentle punch.

If you want to argue that the game couldn't feature any interesting finishing moves due to it not wanting to be too violent then just look at the Injustice games. They are about as violent as this game yet actually have fun powerful attacks with the super moves. Examples of super moves include Superman punching somebody into space and The Flash running his enemy throughout time to deal damage. Even without the ultra-violence, they could have been more creative.

It also only has 22 characters which just isn't very much and adds to the general aura of disappointment that surrounds the title.
