Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (Xbox)

|
| Description:
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance brings the MK series a new 3-D fighting engine, adds tons of features and extras, and still offers up classic gameplay. This instalment features a 3-D battle system that still manages to maintain a 2-D feel. For example, pushing up on your controller makes you sidestep your opponent's attacks yet it also allows you to jump in the air by tapping up direction. A revamped fighting system offers up three different fighting styles for each fighter (one includes a weapon technique). The multiple styles provide countless variations of attacks for any given fighter. Different combinations of punches and kicks allow can be combined for very lengthy and powerful chain attacks similar to the Mortal Kombat of old. Fatalities are also back and are rich in graphic representation. New fighters join the cast of old favourites such as Sonya, Kano, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Scorpion, Johnny Cage, Jax, Cyrax, Kung Lao, Kitana, Quan Chi, Reptile, and Shang Tsung. The lavish environments surround your fighters with animated backgrounds and rich skylines. On some levels there are even breakable objects and hazards that you can interact with, such as pools of acid--the perfect landing place for a thrown opponent. In addition to regular modes of gameplay (arcade, versus, etc.), there is an option called Konquest mode. This mode allows you to learn more about fighting styles, read up on each character's personal history, and gain "Koins". The koins can then be spent in the "Krypt" allowing you to unlock a host of new characters, costumes, and early concept drawings. The additional content offered with this title is plentiful and yet it manages to also fit in special movies of "The Making of Deadly Alliance" and "The History of Mortal Kombat". Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance successfully reinvents the series by offering up a unique mix of improved graphics and stylised gameplay without compromising any of the features that made the MK series popular over the years. --Carlos Rodela

Finally a version of Mortal Kombat that is in 3D and worthwhile. Sure the babalities, the friendships, mercy etc have been removed and yes, they each have only one fatality, again, but the lack of abilities is compensated for by the sheer amount of playability and intrigue! Button basher delux and skilled player heaven both. Apart from Sonya Blade having the face of a MAN(!!!) who met a train face first, you will not be disappointed by this title... |

Mortal Kombat is back.

The fact they came out with a new mortal combat games is thrilling but how long it takes to beat a simple fighting game is the downside to me. i have had the game a couple months now and still havnt got through the konquest modes with everyone "only about 6" it takes a while to do it. and the whole koins thing is pretty cool how you earn coins a beat other fighters so u can fill up your photo album and how you can buy players. I think it will take so long to beat the game completely that gamers will just become tired of the game and toss it to the side like an old N64 game. I still have about a month to go before i give mine away. But the games graphics and sound fighting modes have nothing to do with it because they are very cool. But as said before its not like DOA3 like some of us have played but i dont think thats what the game was going for. Overall i think its great game and its worth the cash but if your the type of gamer who like fast games that dont take months to beat then i wouldnt recommend it but if you are GO FOR IT |

Mortal Kombat - TKO

!!GET OVER HERE!! I`ve been playing beat em ups for 16 years, back to the days of Ye Ar Kung-fu and the 1st Streefighter game and have finished all I`ve played with multiple characters. I found DOA on the xbox dull unresponsive and the combo chains illogical and was very disapointed, no decent beat em ups for the xbox! Then MK;DA came out and kicked its arse, the back grounds (particularly the unlockable ones) are a match for DOA and can be more useful tactically, the character animation far more fluid and lifelike each impact is more satifying. All the combos flow properly and can be shortened or lengthened depending on your skill to fool your opponent, every character has a brilliant set of moves within their 3 styles which you can flow between seemlessly and ending a bout with a fatality is always cool. This is brilliant game on par with Soul Caliber and more satisfying than TK3. Miss it and miss out! |
