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.

 Mortal Kombat January 17, 2003
13 out of 19 found this review helpful
The hit series Mortal Kombat is back, with Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. The series is famous for its violence and gore and this is no exception.
There are 23 characters, each with their own moves and fatalities. Once a match is won the winner can perform a fatality, which is were a character kill the other in a brutal way e.g ripping there heart out.
The game play is great. It is fast and bloody. It is not a button basher as each character has there own form. 2 forms for each character are different sets of moves. The final on is a weapon form, were a character can beat the other with a weapon.
The graphics are extraordinarily detailed, in the characters and the interactive backgrounds.
This game will last you for years with a multiplayer option, which is highly addictive especially when you get to kill your friend. There are also the 676 secrets in the krypt. This has hidden characters, costumes, movies etc.
Overall I think you should get it, as it is brutal and addictive. It has also been voted as the best beat'em'up of the year on gamespot and many other sites, and I agree!
Old idea, all new game September 10, 2003

Mortal 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.
Yet another amazing Mortal Kombat Game. April 11, 2003

This is porpably the best MK game ever. It has many classic MK fighters such as Scorpion, Zub Zero, Raiden etc. and a host of new ones such as Frost amongst others.There is a room called the Krypt in which you buy Koffins with the Kurrency you earn in the game. Each Koffin costs a different amount of Koins and some contain new arenas and fighters etc. although others may just contain a sketch. There is a new mode called Konquest in which you pick a fighter and learn that fighters moves, combos and fighting styles. Each character has 3 fighting styles, 2 ordinary ones and one with a weapon. For anyone who likes MK this a must buy, if you don't like MK then one go on this beauty and you will.

Yet another amazing installment of MK. Now even better than ever with 3-D, interactive battle grounds, a host of new and old characters and loads of new moves. One of the greatest improvements made in this edition of Mortal Kombat is the fact that each character has 3 fighting styles, 2 ordinary and 1 weapon. These weapons vary from daggers to swords, from nunchakers to Ice blades and they are all great. Some characters casn even impale there weapons into the other character and leave it there for the duration of the round were it will continue to take the opposing characters health. Also the addition of the Krypt, were players collect koins in the various game modes and spend them on koffins, the koffins contain everything from pictures to new characters, some even contain more koins. You must be careful when picking a koffin as even though they are all priced differently an expensive koffin might contai a worser bonus than a cheaper one, also do not be fooled by the golden koffins. most of the koffins are brown, but there a few golden ones but just because they are gold that does'nt mean they will have a better bonus in them. This game is great because you can play on your own or with your mates and there is even a kind of career mode were you are taught how to use your chosen characters 3 fighting styles. This is must buy for fans of the series and for anybody who is remotely interested in beat-em-ups.
