The very best MK yet but not flawless |
| Finger from Balk, Netherlands :D says (21/Feb/2003): |
The best thing about this game I think is the lifespan of this game, you keep discovering new things. When you mastered the first character and almost think of buying a new game you get interested in another character :D Then there is the Krypt where are 676 coffins to open and it takes a long time before you'll open em all. The arena's are very diferce the only bad thing about them is that there's no stage fatality. The sound is great it gives the real MK feel as the previous versions wich is a good thing. The only flaws in the game are the glitches in the graphics but hell you won't even notice them during the fight if you do you'll get your ass kicked :D And it's a shame that each character has only one fatality and some of them really suck, only take quan chi's that's a really bad one. But it's a must have game and I think it deals out a real fatality to the other fighting games at the moment.

best mortal kombat game yet |
| joel from florida, USA says (5/Mar/2003): |
This is the best mortal kmobat game yet. I'm glad they finally brought it back to the basics. I like how people are limited on special moves because now its more of a real fight. you dont spent the entire time shooting unrealistic junk out of your body. you have to actually punch and kick in this game and i think that's a lot more fun. Besides, if you are a martial artist or you are intrested in martial arts this game gets so deep into the martial arts it can blow your mind. Shaolin fist, seven star praying mantis, bagua, kali escreema, aikido, double broadsword, twin hook swords, etc. the styles and weapons in thes game are insane. Pratically every technique in this game is actually practiced in each style. I think this game was for martial artists, so if you dont know anything about martial arts your probably going to not like to much because it's nothing like it use to be. It's more realistic.

Satisfaction guaranteed |
| Michael from Ventura, Ca, USA says (29/May/2003): |
This game was awesome. The graphics were superb, the audio and sound effects outstanding, and overall, a game that you can just keep on going. Growing up, I was always sure to get the Mortal Kombat games, but I thought nothing would be able to top MK Trilogy. Boy was I wrong. I just wish there was a way to bring back the old characters like Baraka and Noob Saibot. The story line was excellent and the Konquest part of the game will surely keep you occupied for hours. Even after you complete it all, it is one of the few games you could sit down with some friends and never get tired of tearing each other apart. The Krypt adds as an incentive to advance your skills and keep on playing. The one fatality per character is satisfactory, but I think there could have been at the very least an extra fatality per character. Overall, this is the best game I own and I'm anxious to see what's to come.

MKDA still rocks |
| D-Rock from Canada says (27/Nov/2003): |
I really really liked the hard work that was abviously put into MKDA....It's abvious that they didn't just slap it together and toos it out to the public like many company's do with there games (Final fantasy for example, I HATE THAT CRAP)....But like the other people said....I really do miss the wider selections of fatality's and stuff.....and it would be alot better if finding all these characters didn't take so frikin long....but every game needs a challenge.....the weapons are awsome, the moves are awsome....and Bo'rai Chow makes me laugh like a retard every time he's on the screen....another constant annoyance of mine is the fact that getting platinum and silver is almost impossible unless your a MK master....but still whutever....I really enjoy the game and i'm really really waiting for the next one to come out.....AND GIVE US MORE CHICKS BABY.....YEA YEA

Dis is one Bad-Motha |
| Daniel Daake from Bartlesville, ok, usa says (22/Nov/2002): |
OMG!!! I can't believe my eyes. Its Mortal Kombat reborn. This realistic 3-D, fight game is da shiznit. Midway awsome job in coding this game. If you like the dicing and slicing fight games this is the one to get. Has everything from 3 different fighting styles, while you are fight, to the best FINISHING MOVES i have ever seen. I have been a Mortal Kombat fan sense the very first one came out and now that this one came out, 24/7 game play, kinda forgot about school, didnt know it existed, but everything is so realistic cant believe the attari even existed. I have to give this game a 10 out of 10 not just because the fighting is awsome but the different modes like "konquest", where you have to earn points to buy graves out of the "Krypt", which contain pictures, characters, bonus material and ect. keeps you playin the game for weeks. Good job Midway!

Where's the spirit?! |
| Rob from Edinburgh, Scotland says (4/Mar/2003): |
Ok fair enough, the game is good, graphics rock, the characters are pretty diverse, the krypt and konquest are good features, and the game has quite a bit of life. But its hardly mortal kombat is it?!! Its an imitation!! I was so hyped about the game, and i mean soooooooo hyped, i loved the mortal Kombat games!!! i mean in the last one they had sooooooo many characters, with the stage features like the spikes and the different floors and all that jaz, i mean unless the company is holding out on the secrets till later, the incredibly disgusting lack of finishers, characters, features, gore and little guys saying toasty, deffinately bring this game down to a way sub mortal combat level. PLus, its soooo easy!!! I mean, the first mortal combat was nails!!! I was soooo dissapointed at this game. Ps, if ive missed something, please tell me what it is.

dissappointed chic |
| Heather from Charleston, SC says (6/Feb/2003): |
The only reason this game even got a 3 was for the blood and graphics, other than that, Midway really screwed up. Anyone who actually knows Mortal Kombat and what it is about would know that this game does not deserve a rating of more than 5, at the most. The story has been ruined, how can you kill Liu Kang? And what is up with this one fatality per character crap. I mean, c'mon. They have left out some of the best characters, some of the best fatalities, and have tried to make up for it with the fact that there is better graphics and more blood. What games out there now days don't have awesome graphics? That's just keeping up with the times. This game is nothing special, in fact, it is an insult to anyone who remains true to the original Mortal Kombat. You at Midway, wake up and get your sh*t together. Very dissappointing!!!
|
Midway, you've dispointed us!!!. |
| MK fan from T.O Canada---->scarborough chester C says (23/Jul/2003): |
The game is fun at first because MK has never had weapons, this much blood, or stunning graphics. however, any true MK fan will hate this game because it's not true Mortal Kombat. 1 fatality per character? what the f*$# is that. i can live without animalities, babalities, and freindships but is there even background fatalities. There has been background fatalities in every MK game so far(the bridge in MK 1&2 beeing the best).I'm still convinced that there are background fatalities and i just haven't found out how to do them yet so if any body knows then e-mail me at special_k_guy< remove me > at hotmail.com. And where are all the great characters like smoke, lui kang, Kabal etc. i would recomend this game to someone who has never played a MK game before(not including MK4 cause that game sucked too) to rent this game but any true fan will hate it.

Pretty good actually |
| Greg from NY USA says (27/Jan/2003): |
Yes the others were better but i do enjoy this game very much with the challenges to unlock other characters and their old school costumes. Now to answer a few questions. They didn't put in Noob Saibot because Ed boon didn't help make this game! Noob Saibot was come up with by Ed Boon and Tobias (Hence Boon= Noob and Tobias= Saibot. Noob Saibot!) Smoke I don't know, if you recall he was a robot like Cyrax but I think he's dead anyway. I like how your unlocking things now instead of jsut using codes to play hidden characters. They couldn've done more with the endings such as making them videos!!! and make one more fatality, Babalities and animalties were stupid. (Scorpion was a lion? Reptile a monkey? WTF!) Friendships would've been nice but this game was probably to gory for it. But if your a Mk fan you gotta have this game!

What the hell happend to mortal kombat? |
| Hades from Mpls MN says (8/Nov/2003): |
I have owned and played every single Mortal Kombat game.
This is by far the biggest piece of crap that Midway has ever released. One Fatality? No Stage Fatalities? What the hell were these guys thinking? MK's biggest attraction over the years has been the wonderful fatalities. Now we only get one per character? And $#< remove me > at !ty ones at that.
I'm reading threw these reviews and I see a ton of people that loved the game. I seriously doubt any of those people have ever played any previous MK release. If you don't own the game, DO NOT buy it, it's a complete waste of $.
If I could return my copy I would. Instead I think I will just burn it. I could go on and on about how disappointed I am with this game. I hope to god Midway pulls something out of their asses next time. MKDA is the biggest piece of crap I have ever played.

One of the best Games i have played. |
| Luis Angel Quirk from USA says (7/Mar/2003): |
The first time i played mortal combact i did not like it because the graphics sucked and all. Then i got my playsation 2 and gave it a chance. And i have to tell you that this game is one of my favorites. The graphics are great, the characters soo cool and one of the things that i think was the coolest was the krypt because that gives information about the game and you need to unlock the characters and because it takes a long time to guess which box has the character, it is very exiting when you do and very dissapointing when you choose an empty one. Even though i think this game is one of the best there is only one thing i do not like, it is the big moster that you need to kill before you get to the last 2 characters. I really hope they make another game because i will not think twice if i want to buy it or not.

ITS ALLLLL GOOD |
| Jake G from Kenosha, Wi says (28/Jan/2003): |
I absolutly loved this game, I played it once at my friends house, and I had to go and buy it. The only bad thing about it is that ya there is only one fatality per person. But owell JAX looks AWESOME in this game and I love his moves, Kano is awesome too. But they did forget to put in acouple of the best characters... they forgot to put in GORO, and BARAKA! They were AWESOME! I like the interactive places, and all that stuff. The combo's get a lil tricky in Konquest but its fun to try... I like the amount of blood in this game.. its ALL OVER! I like the whole money thing... and all that stuff... The alternet costumes are great too.. I never really like Lu Kang... but it'd be tight if ya could unlock more characters like him.. But hey this game is awesome.. and I luv to play it.. PEACE

Take it from me, i'm a games freak and i know what I'm talking about sonny. |
| A gamer from Richmond, New Jersey says (24/Feb/2003): |
MK Deadly Alliance lived up to my expectations. It carried on the spirit of the previous MK games but refurbished certain areas of the game. For example the fatalities, which are quite breath taking and gruesome. The Konquest mode is a welcome feature, making character control easier for beginners. I was slightly disappointed at the amount of fatalities availible, only one per character and no animalities, babalities, friendships, brutalities or background fatalities (remember the spike pit?). What livens it up, however, are the three different fighting styles per character, giving your chosen character more variation and a unique feel about them, unlike previous MK games. The graphics are smooh and crisp and the gameplay is fast and brutal. THIS IS MORTAL KOMBAT AT ITS BEST.

Good Game |
| Antoine from Los Angeles, CA, USA says (22/Nov/2002): |
I've been a big fan of the MK series from day one. I do however have more complaints about this game than the some of the other's. For instance, having to go online just to figure out the fatalaties is one set back. A major one at that. Not everyone has internet or any other way of finding these out. Second, the horrible way you have to hunt out hidden characters in the krypt. I still don't even know how to unlock a whole lot of them. The one's that aren't in the crypt. I can see that they're trying to add playability to the game, but a good game will have that anyway. This game is more frustrating than necessary. Only a die-hard fan like myself can sit and just grit my teeth about it as apposed to many who aren't going to be willing to deal with all the inconvenience.

MK 1,2, And 3 Were better Before!....... |
| A gamer says (23/Jan/2003): |
MK Was better.....
I think that It was btter before because they had good Optional Fatalities.This guys killed the game with making each character with only one fatality.I can admit that the new one has "much much" better graphics but whats the fun thing if you dont have more Fatalities in the game and "also" what happened to the cool Sub-Zero fatalities.This game is fun to play I did like some of the new stuff "one example is that you can bet money" but they shouldnt had killed the main character of the game who we all know.....
I lke the thing they did with the swords and some of the new characters, But i still give MKDA a 5 and thatas my final answer and th price was to expensive for the pice of $#< remove me > at ! this game is now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who the hell would not want this game |
| Sub Zero from Norwalk CT USA says (18/Apr/2003): |
This is a great game that brings back MK. I have played every MK game there ever was and this 1 was the best. Instead of it being 2d they have made it 3d making it easier to dodge attacks. I also love the krypt it lets u unlock all kinds of stuuf from chacters to movies. The graphics r the best I have ever seen 4 a MK game. The game makes most beat em game look horrible. So who cares everyperson has only 1 fatality(i dont mind it) And they finnaly got read of liu kang. He had to die sonner or later. I alos like the three fightind style. With all this stuff in the game who the hell would not want this game.(1 more thing for all u guys that liked MK trilogy it donesnt even compare to this game so if u dont like MK:DA u'll end up like liu kang)

Good for what it delivers |
| Wayne from Westchester, IL. USA says (17/Jan/2003): |
Minus the fact that what little secrets are in the game suck and theres only one fatality per character (and quan chis fatality is really really stupid) this game delivers. I actually enjoyed the fact that Liu Kang died, and hope the same fate goes to Johnny Cage, because they both deserve to perish, Cage for being stuck up and Kang for being a whiny cheap hitting annoying pansy.
The moves are great, the combos are great, the costumes are great, the arenas are hella great. Konquest mode is a blessing, and the Krypt is pretty cool for those that dont mind playing arcade over and over to scrounge up koins for it.
All in all, its a wonderful step in the right direction for MK. The sequel to this game should be astounding.

No toasty? less fatalities? |
| A gamer from UK says (10/Mar/2003): |
Okay MK DA was a great game no dispute, but common there needs to be a bit more to it, I was hoping to see the most goriest game ever, and still keeping it old tradition of pit fatalities, as well as scorpions toasty and sub-zero's head rip, very disappointing though I will give credit to story and game play, but common this game need to have more flipping gore. cyrax could have use self distruct, i know this is a brand new game but fan who have had every MK down the line want to see a trade mark finisher, hey why not have kano stab someone in the back and cut there throat from ear to ear? the next mortal kombat better bring all the best idea forward and use the lay out of deadly alliance with some thing old to make something great.

Almost Flawless |
| Carbon copy from Classified says (27/Feb/2003): |
A truly noble evolution for this popular franchise. A lot of thought and work obviously went into this game. I bow in respect to its creators. I have never seen so many things to do in a beat em up before. The earn currency from fights and quests system is a great idea. Tons of extra features to be unlocked. The graphics for the characters and arenas are very well rendered indeed. The fast and furious fighting keeps you on your toes. Sound and music are the best yet for the MK series. Theres a few downers that will not wash well with the hardcore MK fans though. The lack of fatality options (Been mentioned many times) and the fact that they killed Lui Kang (Or did they???). Other than that it gets a big thumbs up from me. FIGHT!

Not as good as tekken |
| Will Betts from Singapore says (23/May/2003): |
The figures lok rather doll like and the blod is well OTT and not really making the game any better however midway has managed to use actual martial arts and a whole lot of them each one varying with the character. the interaction wityh weapons now is very interesting aswell. The levels re quite generic and there has not been alot of effort put into them. And yes the most annoying thisng other than Moloch is the fact that there are very few Fatalitys and the ones that you do have are quite tacky. And to top that off THEY KILLED LUI KANG!!!! well the main thing is the fighting which is a huge sucess in this case. you can buy characters and other special features aswell. Not bad midway but keep trying Tip: take note from tekken!!
