Mortal Kombat: EVERY Game Ranked From Worst To Best

10. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

When it was announced Mortal Kombat: Armageddon contained every character in the franchise, it sounded like a dream come true. Sadly, it usually backfires when the MK team focus on quantity over quality.

Apart from the epic intro scene, Armageddon comes across as lazy. It boasts 62 kombatants but character models are the same as the ones from the previous two games. It has a story mode like its predecessor but it's shorter and less creative.

Although the characters in Deadly Alliance and Deception had three unique fighting styles, now they only have two. If you win the Arcade Mode, you don't get a cool animation detailing what happened to your character. Instead, the narrator reads out a bit of text while your fighter dances on top of a pyramid.

But because there are 62 characters, you would assume the game could redeem itself with 62 Fatalities. But they managed to screw that up too! Instead of giving each kombatant their own unique finishing move, Armaggedon introduces a mechanic called Kreate-A-Fatality where you can devise your unique death blow. Although the developers thought this was a cool feature, it was the most disappointing part of an already underwhelming game.
