    My only complaint is the reduction of fatalities.

    There is almost infinite replay value due to the incredible amount of available coffins in the krypt (You can literally spend hours JUST opening coffins). This creates an incentive to play the arcade mode and complete Kampaign mode.

    It's easily the best of the series and with enough depth to silence the franchise's many detractors.

    Niggling problems such as overly cheap AI still persist, but for the most part, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance manages to breathe new life into the gameplay while still retaining the Mortal Kombat feel.

    This is the over-the-top, pick-up-and-play fighter that's we've been missing for so long. It's far less complex than its top-rated contemporaries, but that's part of the fun.

    To hell with lame gunshot wounds and other gang violence. This game's fatalities include creative beheadings and dismemberments that would make Hannibal green with envy.

    With more polish and character balancing, Midway could have crafted one of the best pick up and play fighters in existence – but combo timing issues hurt the overall score and that's a shame.

    This game is just the best. The Krypt is an amzing idea and it will take ages to get every single secret in the game. I agree that Ali Baba This game is just the best.

I agree that Ali Baba is an idiot who probably doesn't have the game just wanting to ruin an excellent game's overall score. Don't be fooled! BUY THIS GAME!… Expand

    This game will blow you away, any true MK fighter should not be without. The only let down is the reduction of fatalities.

    Just don´t give it a 10 because there is only 1 Fatality per character. Multiple fighting styles was a nice addition.
