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.

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!!

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 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!

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.

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.

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!
