Why you can trust 12DOVE
Unfortunately, due to cheap A.I., Ultimate MK's single-player mode (even with its many unlockables) holds a limited amount of appeal. Foreseeing this,the developersimplemented a fantastic WiFi-enabled multiplayer mode with only occasional instances of lag. Single- and multi-card play is available, and stat fiends will be pleased to learn that UMK tracks single- and multiplayer wins, losses, winning streaks, Fatalities and more.
Puzzle Kombat (a Super Puzzle Fighter-esque minigame first included with Mortal Kombat: Deception) also features several unlockables and multiplayer. It's a simple game meant for a distraction when players need a timeout from gutting and decapitating, and in that respect, it serves its purpose well.
