The Armageddon guide may seem intimidating and interesting due to the number of pages it's toting - but do not be fooled.

I had the chance to check this guide out at a local Walmart and after looking through the information - I couldn't buy it. Now, before you question me - I have been an MK fan since MKI, and the recent streaming of guides has been horrible. From bad to worse, and this one takes the cake.

In the middle of the information, the authors decide to randomly throw in UMK3 strategies. This is an MKA guide, not UMK3. It completely throws off the flow of information the guide gives. This however, is not the worst of it.

The Deception guide at least featured all of the character renders, aside from Liu Kang. This guide does not. You'd think with the page count, new renders and the character's accurate story would greet you - however, it doesn't. There are some renders for characters - again, some. However, it's reused from Mortal Kombat Deception, and Shaolin Monks.

There are little to no screen shots, no pictures of the fatalities, there's no mention of the Vault, and the guide's overall composition is horrible. If you bought the Deception guide and knew why it was so horrible, get ready for another horrible guide.

Do not buy this Guide. Your best bet is to contact their customer Service and tell them to just recall it and do it over - much like Brady did with their MKD guide and released a special Code Book.

One Star.

This book was nice. It had a comprehensive walkthrough of the Konquest Mode and had tips for Motor Kombat. It had maps of every fighting stage in the game and explained all the death traps in each very thoroughly. It talked about Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 because the Armageddon premium edition lets you play that game as one of its special features. This book has an unlocking guide and complete move lists. Some of the pictures of moves are flip flopped around but that was the only thing. About renders, does a book really need good renders to be good? Overall, the book really halped me because it pinpointed all the best combos for every character in the game giving you a percentage of health that it takes. This is an excellent resource!

If you are a mortal kombat fan then this is what you need!!
Everything is explained in this book , every move,fatality,
stage tiers,etc.....304 pages!!!!

Perfect for the person wanting to learn ALL the tips and trips to Mortal Kombat Armegeddon.

When i got this guide i thought it would tell me things that i already didnt know and perhaps some secrets like some game guides happen to. But nope it tells us the same information we can find in the games outselves with a tiny tiny portion to each charcter of what thier style is. That portion was the only thing that made this book good. Not to mention they barely had any charcater renders or anything. Alot of it wasent even from armaggedon.
