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!!

It's Finally Here!!!

Its about time they came up with another MK game,this one is going to RULE! With the three fighting techniques and old and new characters MAN it can't get any better than this. What i''m looking foward to is the new FATALITYS and the beautifully done graphics, especially how the fighter's clothes can be ripped, they get bruised, bloody, and drip sweat! THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT FIGHTER!

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.

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.

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 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!

LIU KANG IS DEAD (?)

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance (MKDA) is an over the top fighting game. So much more than the Mortal Kombat you know and love. Each fighter is equipped with three killer fighting styles, you can test your might (or sight) in between every 5 battles, which is cool. There are some good, okay & decidably lame fatalites. That's all good because if your playing MKDA just for the fatalites your playing for the wrong reasons. While the gameplay differs from MK's original formula there is alot here for the original formula fans and those that may have grown tired of it. I've been playing MK for over half a decade and I wasn't prepared for MK to become so much more advanced than ever before. The blood goes to extremes even beyond previous MK games. Blood aside we also get vomit and brain exsposure (YUM YUM). I found it odd that I spent something like 208 in currancy on a new fighter, but some lame picture of one of the crew members (one of the games creators) was like twice as much. Well this was one of the only fighters that was less than 2000 in currancy. I've unlocked all of the fighters which makes a total of 21, with 2 more hiding somewhere beyond the Krypt. However, I was excited to complete my character select screen. As for Liu Kang.. if your amongst the few that were sad to see his neck break, stop sweating it. He'll be resurrected by MK6. DEADLY ALLIANCE IS A GREAT GAME FOR OLD AND NEW FANS OF THE POPULAR SERIES.

What we expected and more from Mortal Kombat!

Midway has really outdone themselves with this beautifully-designed fighter.

The graphics have been beefed up, and it shows! The fighters and arenas are beautifully rendered at 60 frames per second. Even though the graphics are outstanding, the biggest improvement is in the fighting engine. Gone are the silly finishers and outlandish combos. This time around, each fighter has three martial arts fighting stances to master, one of which includes the use of a specific weapon. Together they can be used to unleash brutal combos that will leave your opponents bruised and bleeding, literally!

After pummeling your opponents, players can use coins they collect during battle to unlock hidden fighters, arenas, production sketches, and a slew of other MK-related items.

Other features of this game include: New fighters, new fatalities, mini-Games, behind the scenes video of MK: Deadly Alliance, including a video on the history of Mortal Kombat videogames, and a Mortal Kombat music video performed by Adema. This game is a dream for fans of Mortal Kombat, and has plenty of replay value to keep gamers coming back for more.

Fan or no fan, you will be impressed by this game. This is definitely a keeper!
