Multiple modes are offered in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I never felt in total control of UMK3 on iPhone, and that essentially breaks the game. Fighting games require spot-on precision in order to perform combos, special moves, and the signature of the franchise: finishing moves. Unfortunately, despite this nice customization feature, the game still feels incredibly unresponsive and inaccurate. Would you like your Block button in the middle of the screen? Go ahead. Want your Low Kick button in the bottom corner? Fine. The developers added a nice feature which allows players to edit the button configuration and move the virtual buttons anywhere on the screen. While Capcom did a brilliant job of simplifying the button configuration for Street Fighter IV in order to make it a game better suited for iPhone (a game console containing no buttons), UMK3 is content to simply place virtual buttons on the screen and ask gamers to pull off complex moves with no tactile feedback. The problems are many, but let’s start with the biggie: controls. So the question is: does Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 do as good a job representing the franchise on the iPhone as Street Fighter IV? The short answer is no. Now, Electronic Arts is bringing the opposition in the form of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, complete with classic characters, arenas, and -of course – finishing moves.
Just last year, Capcom showed that fighting games could indeed work on the iPhone with their port of the hugely popular Street Fighter 4. Those two games were the big arcade fighters of the time, and most gamers picked sides between the fast action and deadly precision of Street Fighter 2 or the digitized graphics and over-the-top violence that came in the form of “Finishing Moves” in Mortal Kombat.Īmazingly, nearly two decades later, that rivalry still exists, albeit to a much smaller degree. If you were a gamer in the 90s, you probably dropped more than a handful of quarters into either a Street Fighter 2 machine or a Mortal Kombat machine.
