- I kinda liked MK vs. I'd love to see it for PC. There is a 3D Mortal Kombat for PC though, it's called Mortal Kombat 4. It's incredibly fast-paced, very old (1997), and ugly, but it does feature sidestepping. 3D fighters are a rare commodity on PC definitely.

Story
In classic fighting game fashion, the story in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is pretty ridiculous. That said, it's a great foundation for a cross-over tale that features tons of mega-popular characters and explosive moments of action. At the beginning of the game, both the Earthrealm of Mortal Kombat and the planet Earth in the DC Universe are being attacked by evil forces. At the same time, both attacks are repelled, sending super villains Shao Kahn and Darkseid into a state of dimension-shifting. This forces both villains, as well as their respective worlds, to collide into one, resulting in a mega-villain called Dark Khan. In order to defeat Dark Khan and separate their worlds safely, the heroes of both universes attempt to form an uneasy alliance.
Gameplay
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe offers players a classic arcade-style fighting experience with loads of awesome characters, killer graphics, and some brutal special moves. There are multiple modes of play, including the chapter-based Story Mode, the Kombo Challenge mode, and competitive online and local multiplayer. In Story mode, players can choose to experience the narrative from either the perspective of the Mortal Kombat characters or DC Universe characters, each with exclusive chapters to play. When compared to other fighting games like Street Fighter and Dead or Alive, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe offers a much stronger single-player option for fans to enjoy.
In every mode, you'll engage in exciting one-on-one battles between your favorite MK and DC characters. The roster of fighters includes both heroes and villains from both sides, including classic characters like Batman, Sub-Zero, Wonder Woman, Kano, Lex Luthor, and much more. Each character has a list of awesome special moves to pull off, resulting in hard-hitting combos. As characters take damage, different parts of their costume also become damaged, adding some appreciated detail during fights. In classic Mortal Kombat fashion, you can finish off your opponents with Fatalities, but they're a bit disappointing and lack the expected level of blood and gore. Despite these small setbacks, the fighting in MK vs. DC is satisfying and addictive, encouraging players to figure out new combo-strings and master their chosen character.
Conclusion
Thanks to a roster of memorable fighters, fun gameplay, and an impressive single-player story, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is a great choice for any fighting game fan. Even though there's less blood than your standard Mortal Kombat title, the action is still fast and violent, resulting in some surprisingly brutal moments. Generally speaking, this is one of the coolest games featuring DC superheroes ever released. It also lets you settle the age-old question of “who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman?”.
If you like fighting games and DC comics, there's no good reason not to give Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe a try.
