Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance ROCKS!

This game, in my opinion, is the best Mortal Kombat ever. It has a new variety of characters and a new fighting system, with WEAPONS! My favorite character so far is Scorpion, even though my brother and I are missing 2 characters, Frost and Nitara. I think every fan of bloody and violent games should buy this great game!

Although I admire Midaway for taking yet another stab at the series that reinvented the fighting genre, you can't help but see the franchise's irrelevance. Don't get me wrong I love MK, especially MK2, but this one did both good and bad. The graphics are well done besides the huge drops od blood that drip down characters bodies. The pools of blood also look rather "caked on". Sound is descent besides the annoying screams performed by the same voice actors (one for the men, one for the women) and the blood dripping makes a stupid gooey noise. The story is beyond any fighting game I've seen and stays true to the MK plot lines. They have some nice additions but they seem tacked on and once you complete konquest and the krypt what else is there? I know it's a fighting game and it relys on replay value, but that's just it! It can't rely on it because it has none! The replay value becomes redundant and boring. Players can easily learn a simple combo and master the game in a day or two. The depth within it all is lacking as there are no combo breakers. Additionally, the new character looks are dissapointing (sub zero has no mask!!Reptile is a stupid dino!!!).Finally the new game engine found with sony, microsoft and nintendo I thought would have promise for the fatalities but Midway has reduced the cool gory finishers I once new and turned them into a silly embarrasment. A simple break of the neck would do but, for example, Bo Rai Cho has to belly flop ontop of you sperting out a pool of red goo. MK can no longer lean on stupid effects and super powers, it has to compete in the real fight with Tekken and Virtua Fighter. 6/10

Not bad

Not bad in graphics. 3 different fighting styles but don't have many moves. Not dynamic like the old mortal kombat games.

MK - better than 4, awkward combo system

This game is really good for a fighter but I do miss the old HP LP BL HK LK system. Now, people have all sorts of fighting styles which are fun to learn but the "cross-style" combo's are hard to perform.

The style switch button is the L button and it's difficult for my hands to do discrete motions with that button while also making discrete movements with the D-pad.

Wait for Soul Calibur 2

I rented this and thought it was great at first. I figured there would be tons of extras and Fatalites and all that good stuff from past MK games. Boy was I wrong, the conquest mode gets old fast and most of the moves that you learn you will never have to use because each fighter has about two or three combos that can be used effectively repeatedly. The graphics are all right but aside from the crypt there is nothing going on in this game, this game at first glance seems to have a lot of depth but it does not. I'm sorry but unlocking a picture of a programmer is not my idea of depth. The three fighting styles arent that exciting either, it sounds like a great idea but the way the characters react to each style are lame and unrealistic. And of course each character has one fatality, I thought fatalities and friendships and babalities were the bread and butter of the MK series, they kept the game fresh and fun, they have really dropped the ball on this release. The reason I gave it 3 instead of 2 stars is simply cause the game is fun to play when you have friends over. I have played every fighting game released in the past 15 years and I still say Soul Calibur is the best and VF4 is up there, this game does not hold a candle to those two.

The Mortal Kombat video game series is an institution among members of Generation X and Y; for over 10 years this game has pushed the limits of not only what is possible with video game systems, but the limits of good taste, as it has been in constant surveilance among this country's moral watchdogs. However MK keeps going strong; and on the 10 year anniversary of the first one, the guys at Midway released the fifth instalment, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. This release is hugely groundbreaking, not only to the series itself, but to the whole genre of fighting games. It turned Mortal Kombat from a game with basic kicks and punches and some special moves to an ACTUAL fighting game, where all 18 fighters have a three martial arts fighting styles at their disposal; two grounded and one with a weapon. The gameplay is incredible; expanding of MK4's addition of 3-D graphics with fabulously detaliled drawings of the characters as well as the background fighting stages. And speaking of the characters, six of MK 's seven original characters are back(minus Liu Kang; check the storylink) plus some from the prevoius games(Kitana,Jax,Shang Tsung,Kung Lao, Reptile,Cyrax,Quan Chi). My only real problems its that it doesn't mirror the greatness of Mortal Komabt Trilogy; that game had options and variety galore, which this doesn't.

Cool game dude!

I love the new 3D update. But there's something about the good 'ol 2D MKs that just take our hearts away. This is a great MK. Solid graphics, great control, awesome gameplay, great sound. But there comes a problem when it comes to the cast (atleast for me anyway). There's not enough returnings of the old kombatants. I know we need some new faces, but a bigger cast would have been nice. Remember MK Trilogy on PSone. All those kombatants to choose from? Well, I wish this MK had that. Another thing...there's just too much to unlock. Haha. And the Konquest mode gets very tedious and boring after a while. Other than these few pitfalls...it's a great return to the MK universe.

better then the xbox verson

well to tell you this that the xbox verson has better grafix then the ps2 verson. so the prolem is that the controls are bad and ps2 has better controls then this. so think that i have to stick with the ps2 verson, because is easy to master the controls better.
