This is thee worst fighting game i have ever played if not thee wortst game i've ever played period, and i have played quite a few bad games. the thing that makes this game so bad is that it could have been really good. it has good graphics lots of moves and combos and violent finishing moves. What makes it so horrible in my opinion is the how cheap all the fights get once you are more than a few matches into the game. They start off fairly simple but even on the easiest setting the fights get really hard, i'm not saying a challenge is bad but this is rediculous. the fighters in this game will do nothing but block everything you throw at them and then do the cheapest things in retaliation and you just can't seem to block them. and even if you do make it to the bosses just wait until you have to fight mulloch. in conclusion i would just like to say this game is so infuriating that i just threw my copy out the window and i feel no regrets about it aside from the waste of money.

P.S. get Dead or Alive 3 if you want a good fight game on the x-box it is actually fun and fair.

what a bust

I have been a fan since Mortal Kombat I. I knew this game didn't have babalities and pit fatalities and friendships before i bought it but thought it wouldn't matter. Well, it did. One finishing move per character gets old. Unlocking more characters takes forever. If you like games like DOA3 that require strings of combos then this game is good. If you wanted a game like the old Mortal Kombats then forget it. The fatalities are weak also. You can't morph into other characters with Shang Tsung either. Whats up with that. I bought the strategy guide also. After playing for several hours i returned it the next day for Ghost Recon. Now talk about a sweet ass game. Best trade i ever made

There is no game better!!!

MKDA is the best game ever!!! [...] and i play with blood and difficulty at MAX. MKD has some other things, but there Konquest lacks, Arcade is stupid, and the story dosen't have as much zest as in DA.When I unlocked "Cooking with Scorpion" I watched it 56 Times! The best player are Shang T. and Raiden.[...]

Great Game

This game is a good solid mortal kombat game. A lot of characters and original ones like sub-zero and jax etc. Its pretty fun considering the 3 different fighting styles and moderatly different moves in each style. The only problem is after you play it for a long time it gets boring doing the same thing over and over and over again just with different characters. But it does somewhat pay off since you get to spend your koins to unlock so many different things, like a lot of extra characters. So overall this game is pretty good and recommend if you dont spend a lot on it.

I Hate IT

In 1992 I was forbidden to play a game I had never heard of called Mortal Kombat. Apparently my mom saw it on the news and instinctively forbade that I even touch the controversial game. Needless to say that my brother, father and I, perhaps through some act of defiance, all sought this game out... more or less to find out what the big deal was. What we discovered is how frighteningly deadly the combination of Daniel Moir behind the controls of Scorpion were. To this day I have gone completely undefeated in the original Mortal Kombat, not even the computer stood a chance.
Mortal Kombat 2 followed, and while the computer would get the best of me only one human opponent was able to beat me. My reign as Tooele's champion or Mortal Kombat ended with the third installment of the series, and when Mortal Kombat trilogy and Ultimate MK3 came out I was burnt out. The fatalities were cheesy, the fighting redundant and cheap, and the babalities, friendships, and animalities were just so over done I gave up. Needless to say I was there for Mortal Kombat Mythologies, but like most people ignored Special Forces all together. MK 4 came and went, as did MK Gold, which was fun for a while, but the fatalities were just too complicated to pull off on the Dreamcast controller.
Despite having out grown Mortal Kombat, for some reason the title called my name when I went to buy Metroid Prime and Fusion. "Daniel... master me!" I couldn't resist and I succumbed to the temptation.
The game is completely different in terms of game play, and the story surprisingly refreshing. Liu Kang is dead... now what? New Tournament, new characters, a deep fighting engine, the return of some old favorites, and Scorpion is still as deadly as ever.
Like Super Smash Bros Melee there is a ton of stuff to unlock, everything from hidden characters, to production art, and much more. In addition the fatalities are now much easier to do, which is nice. The game no longer requires the perfect distance to execute a fatality, as MK 4 did, which was a pain. The downside is that the fatalities, for the most part, are still cheesy, and while they are bloody they still don't have that horror element that the first two had. There was something scary about those fatalities, but ever since MK 3, they have been outlandish and silly, but they are at least so outlandish that the sick minded (such as myself) will get a genuine chuckle out of the ridiculousness of it all.
Graphics are very good, but still could have been better. Sound effects are great, but the music isn't as good as past Mortal Kombat games. All in all this is the best thing to happen to the series since MK 2, but its still not as good as the first two games were. I recommend the XBox version, as the game seems to be optimized for this system, if not go with the GameCube version as its almost just as good, with only subtle differences graphically. The PS 2 version's a bit too slow for my taste.

KICKING AS-S....
