The game itself is fun and entertaining just as the original generation of mortal kombat was. I already knew what to expect as this was a replacement game but the GameStop online service is horrible. This is the fourth recent ds/3ds purchase I have made from GameStop online and I received only the game in a cheap piece of plastic. Not even a GameStop case. No original case or art and as a collector this is not acceptable. Spoke to a number of service reps. A couple were even downright rude. Never received the manager call backs. Won’t be ordering online anymore and my not go back the store. Truly disappointing.

I love MK anything; best fighting game on a portable system

My son loves this franchise and wanted this cartridge so bad...that GOD you had it, He has enjoyed it!!

The fatalities babalities and animalities are all doable and visible while playing. It makes it so much easier to practice them.

Cant stop playing this game this is probably my faviorte ds game ever made it is just like the arcade version the only thing this game lacked from the oringinal arcade was being able to play galaga and the secret menues where you could play as shao khan or motaro other than that i like the game

Mortal Kombat is an extremely awesome fighting series, and it was pretty nice to know that it was ported to Nintendo's most best selling handheld. Ultimate Mortal Kombat for DS is good, just not as good as we all expected. You see, once you get the game, you are gaven two modes to play with, the average exhibition ladder, and Puzzle Kombat. The exhibition ladder is the average MK fighting experince. You face a ladder of opponents, until you face Shao Kahn, you win and that's it. You can also perform fatalities, which is actually quite good if you know how to perform them. This mode entertains for a couple of hours, but it's gonna get old EXTREMELY old very fast, just because there's no purpose to replay the mode continously, unless you want to play the harder difficulties. Then, there's Puzzle Kombat. Puzzle Kombat, along with exhibition, can be played with a friend, through Ds Download Play. Puzzle Kombat has changed much from its Mortal Kombat Deception original. It plays like Tetris, as you use colored blocks to earn points, to give your opponent damage. At the end, you perform a fatality to finish them off. Overall, UMK 3 for NDS is a good game, along with the Multiplayer options, for those willing to destroy their friends in Kombat, but might not be enough to justify a purchase for the HARDCORE Mortal Kombat fan, with the lack of modes.

I always wanted a portable mk so when i looked it up this and the ps vita one came out i went to this one immediately because i think its slighty better than the new one. I say get this because it has puzzle combat which is entertaining and it has a perfect arcade port of ultimate mortal kombat 3. It has plenty content and features.You Can Also Perform A Fatality AnyWhere!!

This game is basiclly a remake of MK 3 but on DS with the puzzle combat mode then its basiclly tetris but with MK style , the gameplay of the game is alright but for me to play with the DS pad was not so good on everything and controls are simple wich is good , the arcade mode is here and its challenging on any difficult you play and online matches are fun but you need lots of practice to dominate every single oponent , the main problem with this is then some fatalities are censored and they are not so bloody as they look on the 90s and the fact to play with the pad just sucks for me , i would like to play with joystick this game , but thats ok , after beating the arcade mode theres no much else to do but puzzle combat is really fun , this version is not perfect , but its one of the most violent games you will find on DS

overall good game. last 2 bosses are hard but its still fun to play and unlock newer stuff

its a pretty OK game for Nintendo ds its like the arcade version.its pretty fun but when you get to shao kahn he always beats you up no matter how hard u try.
