The best Mortal Kombat ever!

I was quite surprised at the quality of Midway's latest fighter. No longer are the days when the only hope of Mortal Kombat being waiting thru some cheap, lifeless match to get to the fatalities. In fact, the fatalities in this game are some of the lamest ever, yet it is still the best Mortal Kombat.

The gameplay has been tweaked a whole bunch. Each fighter has two martial art fighting styles (almost ever martial art there exists is represented), then another weapon style. Some of the styles are better than others, but the weapons sure do come in handy if you want an easy win

The characters themselves are okay, but the rest of the graphics are great. Now, when you drop blood on the ground, It stays on the ground. Walk through it, and you leave a little path of blood footprints. And during the match, the fighters faces show bruises, and gashes and all that other fun stuff.

However, the most fun thing of all is taking your weapon, impaling your opponent, and watching them bleed to death.

Then the fatalities. One per charachter, no pits, or any of the other -alities that were in the past games. The fatalities that they do have are quite boring. Neck stretch, to knock off your opponent's head, nothing we've never seen before. Also, the "Goro" of this game Moloch is super cheap. Although this is nothing new to a Mortal Kombat game, it still very frustrating trying to beat him.

There are only twelve fighters to start. You unlock others by collecting coins, and going to the Krypt to unlock them. It's a good idea, but tedious. Especially since there are 11 other fighters, but 676 Koffins.

The best since Mortal Kombat 2

I almost lost faith in the MK series since MK4 and that disgustingly horrible MK Advance plus I didn't like 3 much either. Now we get an MK that is the best since the god of fighting games Mortal Kombat 2. THe graphics are great, the cube is able to have special features, and no Shao Kahn. I was getting sick of Kahn right after MK2, now he's dead Ahhha! For those who say Moloch is the hardest since Kintaro, forget it, he's really easy. I'll tell how to beat him since I'm nice to you all. Choose Kano, when the fight begins just repeatedly dropkick him till he falls. That's it, he won't fight back. Overall the goods are awesome like the Adema video and the MK history (that's the best part seeing all the old games again). Overall this is one fighting game that you should pick up.

Excellent revamping of a classic game

Mortal Kombat is a franchise that has definitely had its ups and downs. MK, MK2, and MK4 in my opinion were all brilliant. The series had some hiccups in MK3 which were further aggravated by UMK3, and then the series really hit rock bottom in the "adventure" games. Deadly Alliance definitely brings the game back to a high standard level. The graphics are incredible, sound is dead-on, and the gameplay is quite good. I think there is a good balance of advanced fighting techniques and the accessibility which was a trademark for MK. So why didn't I give this game 5 stars? There are a few serious flaws here. 1) Moloch is one of the worst boss characters ever devised. This is shocking to me after brilliant bosses like Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, Khan, and even Shang Tsung. He is ridiculously hard and once again the only way to beat him is with repetitive kicks or one special move. Shang Tsung as the last boss without any morphing is rather dull too. 2) The whole Krypt idea was a bad idea. I couldn't believe it when I booted up the game and Raiden has to be unlocked?! Whose hair brained idea was that? The fact that I need 3000 green coins to do it is really depressing, especially since the 1 player game is really, really hard with the computer pulling off insane combos and blocking every move you make (Mortal Kombat Trilogy anyone?). The real kicker is I hear Raiden's flying torpedo move is gone...sad. The bottom line...an overall technically well done fighting game with some unfortunately bad ideas on the 1 player side of the house.

Extremely TOASTY!!!

Deadly Alliance is by far the best Mortal Kombat of them all. The graphics of the game are simply spectacular! The story is extremely cool! I was so happy to be rid of Liu Kang and Shao Kahn. The fighting system is unique and put together well. Each character gets two fighting styles and a weapon style to fight with and no character has the same styles as another. A new feature that is cool is while you're beating the heck out of eachother, bruises and cuts will appear on the fighter's bodies. There can be some excessive bleeding at times which i found to be a little far fetched. The greatest thing of MKDA is that there is mucho replay value in this game. You can unlock over 600 things (hidden characters, arenas, ect.) with koins that you recieve after attaining a victory over an opponent. You only recieve a maximum of 50 to 500 per match and the Koffins that you can open are quite expensive.
The only downsides of MKDA are 1)the fatalities. I was so disapointed with them because they are just too lame. The fatalities in MK1 were better than MKDA. They also took away Sub-Zero's head rip fatality. What's up with that! 2)The combos for each character are too difficult and frustrating to remember. It could be the gamecube controller. i don't know how it works on the other consoles. 3)you can't use the analog stick on the Gamecube controller which is used for 99% of all other games on GC. and 4) The moloch character is the biggest cheap ... ever. The only way to beat this cheater is to cheat even more.
Besides these flaws Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance is definitely worth the cash to buy.

Nice thing

It is fabulous. The grafic is wonderful and the character's moves, like reality! Its super cool, u get to unlock characters and even costumes. The characters are like real people, and we can even choose (in the settings) wether the characters can bleed or not. The fatalities are all nice. But i don't reccomend it to small kids, though. not only bevause of the violence, but the costumes as well( im referring to the woman's costume) Its too much exposure, It does show a little to much exposure! This game is not good for the child's mind.

The Best Of Mortal Kombat!

I have been a fan of the Mortal Kombat game franchise from the beginning. I even liked the movies (regrettably). So, I was anxious to sit down and play this one. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is, in my humble opinion the best game of the franchise thus far. The graphics are great, the sound isn't annoying (you're too focused on the blood anyway), the fatalities are great, and there is a warm feeling of accomplishment when you play as Subzero and leave your sword in the other fighter for the rest of the match. The storyline is better than any of its' previous, and the history of Mortal Kombat doc is an awesome add-on to an already great game. I screamed it once, I'll scream it again. MORTAL KOMBAT!

Blood, Up Chuck, & Brains.. (could it get any better)

Deadly Alliance is more than an MK fan could ever hope for. Three ...fighting styles, power ups, earnable currancy ($$) for buying things and unlocking fighters. Great new fighters like Bo' Rai Chi, Li mei, Mavado & Kenshi. + classic ones like Sub-zero, Kano, Scorpion & Quan Chi. There is alot more to do with this Mortal Kombat than just arcade style fighting. Try the never ending 'Konquest' it's an excellent way to learn moves and fighting techniques. The MK formula is differant here than with previous MK games. However, there is something here for both die-hard fans of the original formula and those that may have become burned out on it.

Wow!

This Mortal Kombat is definitly the best one of all. . Some advantages of the game; the ability to switch fighting styles is great! Every character has a weapon and some can even leave their weapon in their opponents body. The addition of "battle wounds", the cuts and bruises that remain after a beating and the more realistic blood are both great additions. The arenas and characters are far superior to past games not only in conception but also originality. The addition of a vast array of female characters is great too. Li Mei, Kitana, Frost, Nitara and Sonya are all great characters to fight with. Being a woman myself, I hate it when the female characters in fighting games are noticeably weaker than the males. The women in this game are just as tough, both to master and play against. The concept of earning koins and buying characters costumes and more adds immensely to the enjoyment of the game especially if you are playing alone. The Konquest mode is my favorite because the game actually teaches you your chosen character's moves. No button mashing needed. The game does have drawbacks, among them the fact that you cannot use the analog control stick on the GameCube controller; you have to use the control pad. This makes it difficult to switch between games. Also, the Moloch character is much to difficult to play against. Luckily there are other modes to play or else I would have quit the game by now. Overall, I love this game! It's my favorite game on my GameCube so far and after a month, I'm still having fun with it!

MK Deadly Alliance Rules!

This is definitely the best Mortal Kombat game i have ever played! The graphics are great, the fatalities are good, and to top it all off, each character has 3 fighting styles, icluding an awesome weapon. The graphics in this game are the bloodiest you have ever seen. When you hurt someone, the blood stays on the ground. There are even cuts and bruises on the fighters. This is the most realistic fighting game i have ever seen. I would definitely give it a 10 out of 10. There is even a "Krypt" where you can but levels, characters, and even MK art! Get this game if you like Mortal Kombat games. It is the best one in the set. If you like Tekken, you will love this even more!
