Woh Rock On Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is the all-time greatest game ever inbewteen the 100's of martial arts moves, many multiple playible players,graet graphics and extensive story line this game rocks the house. In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance every character is realistec and non-human out of this world as ever. The blood and gore is very annoying however though completely optional. All you have to do is go to the options menu on the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance main screen,select no blood and then play in a peaceful much-less violent and gruesome way. Oh and did I mention I loved this game?

ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTING GAMES EVER!

THE FIRST TIME I EVER PLAYED THIS GAME, I WAS AMAZED BY THE STUNNING GRAPHICS LITTLE SEEN REALISM IN THIS GAME! MKDA HAS AWSOME VALUE! THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF UNLOCKABLES IN HERE! THE ONLY BAD THING BAD ABOUT THIS GAME IS THAT THERE IS NO LIU KANG. I HOPE HE COMES BACK IN THE NEXT ONE.

okay but too easy

first of all this game wasn't as good I thought it was going to be.Anyways this game has pretty good graphics.The good thing is that when you battle you get to switch into two kinds of fighting modes and one weapon mode.I think if this game didn't have the blood it wouldn't of been as famous as it is.In order to beet this game you have to get all the endings of every fighter including the two secret characters.to get the secret characters you have to beet konquest mode.After you beet konquest mode go to arcade and hold down on Raiden, while holding down press the a button and then it'll say it's name.To use the other one you have to do the same thing but this time you do it on Cyrax.In order to unlock the other characters you have to buy them with the coins.The earn coins you have to make your own profile.Another thing you have to do is to buy all the coffins.I like this game because it has the making of MKDA.It also has the MK history.Last but not least it also has a music video.You should try this game.

First off i grew up on mortal kombat, when i was a wee little child of the young age of well i can't remember what age, but i would scrounge up quarters, go to my local corner store, to play mortal kombat, until i got kicked out, but times are different now, you can get the same experience in your own home, and of course beer is invovled, and to make the gaming experience that much more enjoyed able with the homies. I can't wait for this game to be released to bring back the Kombat days of old, yes its new, and new charectors are invloved but i believe this will bring back mortal kombat, after a spawn of everything from toys, to movies. this game looks good but i have yet to play it so the gameplay is an unknown at this moment but i know i won't be let down, so let the kombat begin!!

I didn't even pass the training section...

Oh God, how I hate this game!
What's most important in this game: the combos you have to make and it NEVER works!!!??
Maybe it's because I'm left-handed and I do not have enough control, power and speed in my right hand (fingers), but I suspect it has to do with Gamecube's controller with this particular game. (The Gamecube controller I actually like very much, there isn't a single game that gives me problems for being a left-handed gamer, the c-stick for instance, an annoyance for many people, I handle pretty well)
This game did ruin my good mood completely.
Not only do you have to push the right combinations, but it also has to be done in a certain fashion: rhythm and timing must be 100 percent accurate or else you fail and fail over and over again.
Good lord, what a terrible waste of time this game is.

Well obviously it isn't any fun for me, but I can imagine that with a different controller (PS II or XBox) it'll be more comfortable. Still, any game that depends heavily (not to say completely on swift and acrobatic fingerworks suck big time!

Actually 4 1/2 stars...

This is easily the great mortal kombat game ever. Very violent and bloody. The story is great too. But I have 1 problem with this game. That is that you need a memory card to do most of the fun stuff. See I just got a gamecube. And I rented this because of all of the positive reviews its been getting. But you need a profile in the game. And to get a profile you need to get a memory card. And memory cards cost money. And money I dont have. WHEW! Anyway if you have a memory card. Get this game. But if you dont buy one before you get this. ****1/2.

What's the big deal?

Many reviews I have read have all rated MKD highly. I don't understand why. I can only comment on the GC version and I'm going to compare it to Soul Calibur on Dreamcast. I think it's a fair comparison because SC sets a good benchmark for all 3D fighting games.

Character graphics
Not brilliant. The movements are smooth enough but the details are very grainy and far inferior to SC character rendering.
5/10

Backdrops
Very very bland. SC offered a variety of backdrops which feature highly detailed and beautifully coloured scenery. MKD offers comparatively barren backdrops which are boring and graphically ill-defined.
2/10

Sounds
Game music in MKD is boring and monotonous. SC offered much greater variety and vastly different scores for each fight arena. Character sounds are bog standard grunts whilst SC offered actual Japanese speech. Weapon clash sounds are inferior to SC.
3/10

Gameplay
Apart from the usual arcade mode, MKD tries to mimic SC by offering a Konquest mode. Basically, the game "trains" you in each player and the idea is to win as many koins as possible to spend in the Krypt (where you buy secret characters, arenas, picture cards, hints etc). This is similar to SC's missions but not as interesting as each character's konquest follows the same route. Some of the tasks set in Konquest are also very pointless and, whilst offering inane pleasure to the teenager, does very little to a normal adult. Examples include hitting an opponent until he/she bleeds 50 pints of blood and sticking your weapon into your opponent's body.
The fighting itself once again tries to mimick SC's 3D environment but falls short. Characters can move around the arena like in SC but the 'camera action' is not as good.
4/10

Weapons
Nothing to bark about here.
5/10

Controls
Apart from being able to configure the buttons, you're stuck with using the directional pad. The small joystick is not functional. At least they could've given players the option to use either.
5/10

Extras
This feature offers picture cards, hints, videos, alternate costumes for some characters amongst other things. The picture cards are far inferior to the galleries offered in SC. Once unlocking the secret characters, I felt very little urge to unlock anything else.
3/10

Overall
I almost bought this game when it first came out. Thank God I waited until the price dropped. The "variety" in each character's fighting styles is a bit of a con because the basic principle is the same for each character (high and low attacks, variations on special attacks, 1 fatality per character, combos). Each character is not as unique as one would think.
4/10

This is a awful game. If you want a colorful and I dont mean bloody game, then get Super Mario Sunshine which is great for children under 8 years of age and any adult or teenager who inst afraid to admit they still, in fact, enjoy Barney and Disney Movies. The only reason I give this 2 stars is because I heard you can turn the blood off which makes it still violent but makes it bearable for people over 30.

I'm sick of Mortal Kombat

Ever since 1993, (10 years now) Midways been spitting these games out. Theyre decent fighting games, plagued with mindless, unneeded blood and gore. While there are many gory games out there, at least their gore makes some kind of sence. As for this game, it makes no sence at all. When you punch your friend in the arm blood does not go squirting in all directions does it? A mediocre fighting title that tries to be orignal by adding blood and gore.
