This is the best Mortal Kombat game ever! I love it and I am sure that any one who plays it will love it. Graphics are great, has many new characters like Kenshi,Bo Rai Cho,and Frost. It also has many olds characters like Scorpion,Sub Zero,Jax,Reptile,Kung Lao,and Sonya. This is the best Mortal Kombat game ever and believe me I've played every MK game out there. I have many other reviews on MK stuff so if you want to see more of my reviews search Mortal Kombat (ON AMAZON.COM)and pick out any thing on that page.Also look for my Logo which is SMK that most the time is at the bottom of the review but might also be at the top by my title. OUT!

Deadly Alliance was the first new outing for Midway with sixth generation systems PS2 and Xbox. The game adds new features to the Mortal Kombat franchise and has a ton of replay value with loads of extras including unlockable secret characters, bonus art, and the groundbreaking Konquest mode. In comparison to Deception and Armageddon, Deadly Alliance just seems better and more original. It doesn't suffer from badly implemented new features present in Deception and contrived storylines present in Armageddon. In addition, Deception axed a number of characters from Deadly Alliance's roster just like the Mortal Kombat 2 did for the original MK1. Whereas this first tactic worked in the 90's, it just failed to deliver this time around.

The new mixed weapons combat system that Deadly Alliance uses works most of the time. The weapons system seems to have been copped from the Soul Calibur series. Once the player learns the various nuances of each character's fighting styles they can incorporate counter moves accordingly in the heat of battle. In arcade mode, I found myself rapidly switching between styles to counter my opponent's assault. This is the key to achieving success in Deadly Alliance. One gripe though is that the fighting style would always reset to default at the end of the round. The player has to quickly switch back or get caught off guard. Costing precious seconds and giving the opponent the upper hand to pull of a fast series combos for quick damage.

one of the better fighting games i've ever played

Midway has managed to accomplish something that no other gaming company has managed to do: Create a fighting game that won't bore you to tears after a month. I've had this game for about 3 months and i still haven't unlocked everything. The gameplay is very diverse with each character having 2 different fighting styles and their own unique weapons ranging from daggers sculpted from ice to metal sticks attached to the forearms. Every character has different endings when you beat the game and, if you pay attention, most of them intertwine in some way. I only have a few complaints about this game. #1. The combos, while incredibly cool, are very long and impractical, seeing as how you have to remember a button combination that can sometimes be over 10 hits long while you are being wailed on by the CPU. Also, they often times don't even succeed, leaving you wide open to be attacked. #2. The CPU has abilities that you don't. This sounds like a really stupid complaint, but wait until you play this game and the CPU player blocks in the middle of your combo then retaliates with one of their own. You try to block in the middle of their combo, but absolutely nothing happens and soon they've taken down half your life in one combo. #3. The difficulty levels are horribly uneven. Easy is normal, normal is frickin hard, and hard is simply not possible. And finally, #4. Moloch. If you haven't played the game, this won't make much sense, but if you have you should know exactly what i'm talking about. The big guy who's the 3rd from last boss who will kill you about 50 times in the span of 3 minutes. This guy is harder than every other character in the game. These faults aside, once you adapt, it's a very fun game. There are almost 700 individual unlockable goodies, making for a gaming experience that will last you a good deal of time.

What a Hook!!!

This game hooks you from the moment you pop it in The X-Box. You go through the Konquest mode to learn about the fighting styles. The best part the Krypt to unlock hidden stuff like playable characters, costumes, and videos. Did not care somuch for sketches or picutres of the people.

A good version of a classic game

Playing Mortal Kobat was practically a right of passage in the nineties, and this x-box version does a pretty good job of updating the game, yet keeping it familiar. The new moves (including weapons) have a fairly easy learning curve and add to the stategy. The valid criticism is that fatalities should be increased for x-box and the game generally doesn't utilize the x-box as well as it could. Still, MK for XBOX!

Very nice

the title say it all belive me.

this game has tons of gore, so no one under 7 1/2.

it is very addictive, with 218 missions to complete, and they all train u for the arcade mode; and trust me you'll need it.
u can buy 236 items, too.

TIP TIP TIP TIP: when fighting "Moloch" always use your weapon, and don't try to impale, it doesn't go in.

The MK Series Fires Back!

This new Mortal Kombat is no walk in the park. TO play this game you have to practice with each character in order to adapt to the new fighting styles. To make a long story short and sweet, Deadly Allince is not for the faint of heart or the sissies. With tons of blood and gruesome fatalities, this game is a sure hit.

What the Hell happened?

Ususally MK games are the by far the best fighting games out there. But this time I asked myself What the hell happened? I have had this game for almost a year and the only reason why I haven't gotten rid of is because of the graphics and 3D fighting styles,and sometimes my friends crash over and is fun with them. That is great. But where they fell REALLY short is that it becomes a stale game almost right of way. With only one fatality per character it really bites. They should incorporate the same way the other MK games did, and that is like a fataly per scenerio or more fatalities per character. I don't know whether a MK6 will be out but if it does I will make sure those characteristics are in the game before I buy it.

UNBELIEVABLE GAME

This game is off the hook, i bought it on monday and i havent stopped playin it yet. The fighting styles are outrageous, each character having three different fighting styles including weapons. The blood is so incredible, it remains on the floor throughout the match and when the match is over the loser just gets back up instead of a screen change. The grahics make the game so much funner to play and the combos look great when executed correctly. The only only thing that im a little dissappointed in is that so far in the game each character only has one fatality. Hopefully more will surface as time goes on because fatalities are one of the greatest part...although the fatalites in deadly alliance are still incredible even tho there is only one per character
