Editorial Review: 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 This preview is based on an incomplete version of the game; features or problems mentioned above may not appear in the finished game.

 Rating:  - Great beat em up game!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! Rating:  - Deadly Alliance? Deadly DubiousI 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). You could collect a huge amount of coins only to unlock a useless sketch. It would be much better to earn the things you can get in the krypt in the fights. Fight well, get flawless victories etc and earn something. But know, that would have been good. The fighting styles aren't that much to write home about. Just another way of stringing together completely non-intuitive combos. The control system (or lack thereof) will make any normal person give up on most of the combos and stick to the few that are actually do-able on a regular basis. The fights go from rather easy to ludicously hard ... Read More: Rating: - 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. I think it's a fair comparison because SC sets a good benchmark for all 3D fighting games. Character graphics Not brilliant. The movements are smooth enough but the details are very grainy and far inferior to SC character rendering. 5/10 Backdrops Very very bland. SC offered a variety of backdrops which feature highly detailed and beautifully coloured scenery. MKD offers comparatively barren backdrops which are boring and graphically ill-defined. 2/10 Sounds Game music in MKD is boring and monotonous. SC offered much greater ... Read More: Rating: - Old idea, all new gameMortal 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. Rating: - 5 Star gameBy far the best MK game so far. Great Game |
