Product Description

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance delivers 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.

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. Just like movies and music 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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the minute you start playing this game, you'll be hooked quite literally! This latest instalment is by far the best in the series. The graphics are brilliant with superb 3D gameplay and use of backgrounds. There are loads of special characters to unlock and the range of things to do will keep you going for hours on end, such as the Konquest mode and trying to buy good stuff in the Krypt.
Each character has 3 styles of fighting, one including a weapon, which allow you to practice again and again to perfect each character. There are lots to discover and sound and visual appeal is great.
Only one thing; where did the fatalities go? Normally, each would have 2 fatalities at their disposal. But although they are far from disappointing in Deadly Alliance, you can't help but notice the loss in each character not having more than one, especially with the pit fatalities also eradicated. Also, fluency is not as established as it was previously, which means fighting is occasionally quite slow.
However I don't think this takes a great deal away from the fact that this games shines and is well worth the wait. Die hard fans will love it as well as those who are just trying it for the first time (you've been missing out!).
This game has guts, gore and brutality. The hype for this game, this time, is proved right.

One could be forgiven for seeing the name "Mortal Kombat" On the cover of a videogame and quickly browsing past, after all the series has been plauged by re-hashed games and ideas, as well as having to live up to the originality of the first game. But "MK Deadly Alliance" shatters all doubt I had in my mind when hearing of its release.
The Gameplay has been totally re-vamped for one thing. Gone is the tedium of punch,kick,punch,fireball,finishing move. Now each of the twenty+ characters has mulitple fighting stances and styles which can be switched between mid-play. Each fighter also has his/her own weapon which can be drawn during battle and used. The weapon combat also also been completely overhauled since Mortal Kombat 4, and is now far more intricate and challenging to the player.
The game itself is in full 3D with many multi-layered arenas and interactive stages. There is also a new pit stage which is far superior to previous games.
Another tick in the postive column for "MK:DA" Is the dramatic change in appearance and style of old favourites like " Shang Tsung" and "Scorpion", There are some awesome new charcters who are completely new to the world of Mortal Kombat. These include: "Mavado","Drahmin" and "Blind Kenshi".
The history of Mortal Kombat has been colourful and often a little disappointing, but this game shows that Mortal Kombat has broken its way into the 21st century and is ready to take on the likes of Tekken and Dead or Alive. This time however , It has more than a fighting chance of winning

This brings a whole new look to the fighting games of today. The plot is basically very simple were as the main character in all the other mortal kombat games gets killed of by 2 evil people who want power and to be immortal. That’s basically the story line but don’t let this put the game down. Oh no the game is far more than just a simple plot. It’s about all the characters having 3 combat styles consisting of 2 fighting and 1 weapon. A tap of the L1 button can change around the styles. Each character has a vast number of moves for each of these styles making the game play tactical and button bashingly demanding. But the thing every one has been looking forward to is the fatalities. Oh yes. These are performed when you are at the last round of a fight and your opponent has a stick of life left and the commentator shouts ‘finish him/her’ and you will have to switch to the fatality stance and bash out the right keys to the fatality where you character will totally brutalise and humiliate your opponent. It’s a shame about the single player aspects because as you battle out the konquest mode it will be the same thing for every character just with different moves and when you finish this with all the characters you’ll have to start all over again anyway in order to gain different kinds of money to unlock extra’s. This hardly makes up for the bad single player though but in multiplayer mode this can easily be the best fighting game around. Brilliant graphics, fluid game play but only buy this if your going to play it with friends because it’s hardly worth it for the single player modes.

Just as it seemed the mortal kombat empire was crumbling and we would never again hear the screams of "FATALITY" a new and totally revamped game comes out and turns things round.....
Right from the opening video you can tell that they have drastically changed things as they have controvertially killed off liu kang... probably the main character and champion of mortal kombat... thenn Instead of the 4 fatalities, babalities anamalities and friendships that made the most recent efforts ridiculous they have limited all of the characters to just one fatality and so have spent most of their efforts on improving the actual in game combat wich is now exceelent thanks to 3 differents fighting styles for each charcter (including one weapon), all highly detailed and realistic to that martial art. My favorite addition is the ability to impale your weapon in an opponent leaving them to bleed to death over the course of the match.
The moves and combo's are now much simpler to achieve and anyone can pick the game up in a couple of fights, and the detail of backgrounds and characters is imense. ..as for the characters many of the old favorites are back with some old and new features as well as some great new characters especially kenshi and mavado.
the storyline is also highly detailed and while using konquest mode you will learn of the stories interlinking each charcter as you use them making it highling addictive. And the extra "making of" and "history of" features bring back momories from the good old mk1 and mk2.
if i had to criticise somethings it would be....how ridiculous Jax's new appearance is with his huge metal arms, the loss of raiden's diving move and how bloody hard moloch is to beat
but hey we cant have everything and i would deffinately recommend mortal kombat deadly alliance.. IT IS THE BEST FIGHTING GAME FOR YEARS!
