Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Since its arrival on PS2 mortal kombat has come back in a blaze of glory and this is the best game in the series. Why, because they've put all characters in the game, even a few I never heard of and I played a lot of versions of this series (oh, and chameleon was in this version of the PS2 I got from play.com so I don't know why its not in the previous reviewers game).

The fight system is superb and this time they've limited the styles per character to 2 which means there's less combos to try and remember thankfully.

Then there's the konquest mode which is the best one yet which follows the story of the 2 new characters and this is the best version of konquest yet.

The create a fighter option is brilliant where you can unlock loads of clothes and moves through the coins you earn. Oh, and they've added a karting sub-game which is not brilliant but will add to the experience.

The only downsides to this game are the removal of individual fatalities and the poor end scenes as it's just a guy speaking the ending of each character which is a disappointment (especially when you think of the pointless stuff like team photos they put in the extras, decent endings would have been better). But ignore these and this game is class effort.
