Mortal Kombat: Every Game Ranked From Worst To Best

Merging both Mortal Kombat and the DC Universe seemed like an odd idea from the get-go, as both properties didn't really have a lot in common. Things would only get worse once it was revealed the game would receive a Teen rating - the first in the franchise.

Putting that aside, is Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe a bad game?

Well, while the fighting itself is passable, some of the new additions just seemed unnecessary. Klose Kombat and Free Fall Kombat are a sight to behold but ultimately end up feeling hollow. The game also has some strange omissions from its roster such as the absence of Johnny Cage and Kung Lao. Finally, MK vs. DC Universe has some of the worst Fatalities in the game, due to the lack of blood and gore - a cardinal sin for the series.

If there's one thing fans appreciated, it's that its existence ensured the survival of Mortal Kombat overall. Working with WB Games led to the creation of Netherrealm Studios and allowed Mortal Kombat to keep coming back for more.
