    Mastering each character, unlocking the hidden fighters and seeing everything the game has to offer makes Deadly Alliance a game that will last you a long, long time.

    One of the most fun, impressive, and thoroughly designed fighters to hit the Game Boy Advance.
  3. Great graphics, sound, and play mechanics all render a fine, bloody shoe platter.
  4. Unlocking all the extras will take quite some time and mastering every fighter in the game will also prove a daunting task.
  5. It even has the odd delay time that occurs when you beat someone. I like that, because it gives you a grace period where you can kick the crap out of your opponent a little more before he falls to the floor.

    This is one mean, violent and engaging game.
  7. It's a very good one-on-one fighting game with plenty of strategy, and it doesn't stray too far from the classic formula of simple fighting moves and extreme gore.
  8. The 3D environment works seamlessly, the graphics are above average, and the addition of fighting styles and currencies puts this over the top as being more than a rehashed fighter.
  9. The new characters, new battle system, the Krypt and psuedo-3D engine all help make the portable version of Deadly Alliance a decent experience.

    You can't help but wonder if the game could have been even better if they had decided to slightly re-design the gameplay for 2D.

    Big-time fighting fans will enjoy the complex moves and new fatalities. [Mar 2003, p.138]

    Yet another incarnation of the rather juvenile MK franchise that suffers in comparison to its main rivals, namely Street Fighter and Tekken.Yet another incarnation of the rather juvenile MK franchise that suffers in comparison to its main rivals, namely Street Fighter and Tekken. The graphics are blocky and indistinct and it's basically inferior in every way to the aforementioned games. Not terrible, but not good enough to challenge the main contenders. Full Review »

    This game is good. But characters list is low. And modes list is low. Also is good.
