It's a hell of a lot better than MK Advance

Over the yrs, handheld ports of MK games have ranged from absolutely abysmal to merely embarrassing(AHEM...MK Advance), so DA deserves special mention for even displaying a level of competence. The sound is great with good vioce samples and surprisingly potent smacking sounds, and the tight conrols retain an impressive amount of 12 characters maoves, stances, and fatalities. And just like it's console bretheren, there's tons of stuff to unlock, even if it's mostly character palete swaps. The most unfortunate thing about GBA DA is the decision to ape the console version's 3D gameplay when it really wasn't neccessary,the arenas are blocky Mode-7 messes that do impossible Escher things whenever the floor meets the background, and the characters have been pixelated to make the "scale". 10 for ambition, at any rate, great game Capcom, keep up the good work.

The best fighting game I've ever played so far!

What can I say. This game is PERFECT! The graphics are slick and wondrously cool looking, the fighters have all sorts of cool moves and bad-@$$ weapons, every bit of storyline is etched with gigantic excellency, and the sound and music are cool to the core! I love this game and it is so far the best game I have ever played in all terms of beat 'em up games. Here's how I rate the 12 fighters:

1. Scorpion-My favorite Mortal Kombat fighter of all time. Cool moves, cool costume, cool storyline, cool everything. He is # 1!

2. Sub-Zero-The second best loved by me. His freezing powers and ice sword are to be reckoned with, and so are his battle skills!

3. Kitana-My favorite female. She is a hot babe and has lots of moves that make her an @$$ kicker. Nice steel fans, too!

4. Sonya-One of my favorites. She's nearly as hot as Kitana, and also is very fast and ferocious. Her kiss of death rocks, also!

5. Frost-A cool(both ways)character. She has all of Sub-Zero's powers and more speed, plus good looks and two ice daggers. Yow!

6. Shang Tsung-Even better a villain here than in the MK movie. He has a cool getup and even cooler ways of duking it all out!

7. Kano-Another great villain and the best mechanical fighter ever. His laser eye, huge strength, and butterfly knives rule!

8. Quan Chi-The final boss in this game, and what a boss he is. He's powerful, shoots gas skulls, and wields two nasty swords.

9. Jax-The second best mechanical fighter. He is big and strong, and also very fast for one his size. His gun really rocks, too!

10. Kung Lao-He's one of the coolest there is. He can throw his hat at high speed, and has all sorts of moves and a huge sword!

11. Li Mei-She is both beautiful and skilled, and carries a pair of sais along with her. You'll like her combos-very damaging!

12. Kenshi-Don't get me wrong, I think this guy is pretty good. But since there's no one I like less in the game, he's lowest.

This is a fabulous game, and I've waited for years to have it! I now finally do, and I am proud of it. Oh, and about the rating up there? There are fighters I like more and/or less than some(not the first two, though)but it's only those 12. Whatever, this is a game that is well worth your hard earned money, and it even has a Krypt where you can collect cool prizes and a lot of other stuff along with that! I totally recommend this game to anyone who digs Mortal Kombat or any sort of fighting or anything else stellar!!!
