  • Summary: Deadly Alliance features a completely new fighting system. Each warrior has three unique fighting styles including hand-to-hand and deadly-weapon combat adding a whole new strategy to Mortal Kombat fighting. Full 3D movement with extremely realistic fighting effects are included, with ripped clothing, bruises, sweat-dripping and blood. Brutal Fatalities are back with gruesome and bloody detail first time seen on next-generation systems. Character-specific "special attacks" such as Scorpion's deadly spear move are also here. Over 20 new and old favorite characters . Returning: Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, Raiden, Sonya, Scorpion and more. New: Female Sub-Zero, Moloch, Mavado and more. [Midway]… Expand

    I'll even go out on a limb and say that Deadly Alliance is the best 3D fighter to date! [Jan 2003, p.88]

    This game can definitely hang with the best of them, though, which may come as a big surprise to those who thought that Mortal Kombat was dead. MK:DA has enough for both old MK fans and more "modern" fighting game players to keep most everyone entertained for quite a while.

    Although the game works as a fresh take on the familiar without adding too much new content to leave old fans feeling lost, it also doesn't do as much as it could to liven things up.

    I think this game is disappointing, although it is actually a very challenging sequel. It lacks fatalities and combos that Mortal Kombat 3 had! The new fatalites are almost rediculous! It's fun for maybe a day but I wouldn't recommend buying it if you're not a skilled gamer because it's a difficult game. Also not allowing you to use half of the characters to start with is plain stupid.… Expand

    The game play is too slow. there are hardly any special moves and the fatality are basically the same. very poor compared to some fighting games.
