Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Mortal Kombat, the curse of spelling pedants and easily offended parents everywhere, has returned (again)--and this time it's making a proper effort to reclaim its crown as king of the beat-'em-ups. There are some games that just seem to be a product of their time, appearing ridiculous when dragged kicking and screaming into the present day; Mortal Kombat suffered just such a fate when it was given one sequel too many and people realised that badly digitised 2-D characters in a dumbed-down version of Street Fighter II wasn't quite in keeping with the zeitgeist.
Sensibly, instead of trying to do just the same old thing with better graphics, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance brings that most unexpected of presents to the beat-'em-up party: a new idea. Specifically, it gives you the ability to switch, at the press of a shoulder button, between one of three different fighting styles for each character. This works tremendously well, allowing you to change from ranged to close-up to weapons attacks, for example, with ease. The ability to see physical damage appear on your opponent during the course of a match is also a nice touch, but thankfully they haven't thrown the baby out with the bathwater and all the old Mortal Kombat extras are still here: there's a ton of spilt claret if you so much as touch the other player and a range of spine-ripping fatalities and brutalities to show off with at the end of a bout. Admittedly the graphics still aren't all that great, but they do the job and quite frankly anything that manages to make Mortal Kombat fresh and exciting again is doing very well indeed. --David Jenkins

Product Description
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance brings the highly acclaimed series to next-generation consoles with a lethal dose of unparalleled brutality, supernatural mystique and a reinvented fighting system.
Beginning the next chapter in the battle of good versus evil, two powerful sorcerers--Shang Tsung and Quan Chi--join forces to deliver unrivalled fighting action in their quest for supreme mortality. Players engage in hand-to-hand and special-weapon combat, executing secret moves and combinations with new fatalities and deadly body blows.
Lethal new warriors are added to the mix along with the return of Mortal Kombat classics--Scorpion, Raiden, Sub-Zero, and Sonya. Hyper-realistic, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance features progressive physical damage that allows players to view the inevitable demise of their opponents while utilising three unique fighting styles for each warrior, creating nearly unlimited fighting possibilities.

Fun:
This is probably one of my fav Mortal Kombat games of all time, along with '4' on the N64! The graphics are very good, the controls are good, the gameplay is smooth and the fun factor is big! There is loads to do and loads of characters to choose from, very good! Buy now 2nd hand for a decent price for a great title!

Mortal Kombat has been around for ages but this game brings it back to life with a whole new feel. Some of the old characters have gone, such as Shao-Kahn but with a host of new characters who can complain. One of the best things about this game is the ability to change between fighting styles allowing for more moves. With a mix of the new, such as Li Mei and a dash of the old favs, like Sub-Zero and Reptile, this game will keep you going for a while. Have fun and try the fatalities.

The hit series Mortal Kombat is back, with Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. The series is famous for its violence and gore and this is no exception.
There are 23 characters, each with their own moves and fatalities. Once a match is won the winner can perform a fatality, which is were a character kill the other in a brutal way e.g ripping there heart out.
The game play is great. It is fast and bloody. It is not a button basher as each character has there own form. 2 forms for each character are different sets of moves. The final on is a weapon form, were a character can beat the other with a weapon.
The graphics are extraordinarily detailed, in the characters and the interactive backgrounds.
This game will last you for years with a multiplayer option, which is highly addictive especially when you get to kill your friend. There are also the 676 secrets in the krypt. This has hidden characters, costumes, movies etc.
Overall I think you should get it, as it is brutal and addictive. It has also been voted as the best beat'em'up of the year on gamespot and many other sites, and I agree!

Deadly Alliance? Deadly Dubious
I picked this up for about a tenner, and that is one of the saving graces. The Krypt idea is, in my opion, a huge waste of space (and it is pointlessly large). Read more

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. Read more
