Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance - Xbox

Thank God this game's now only $20.00

I went ahead and bought MK Deception before I even concidered buying Deadly Alliance, and after seeing what MKD was like felt I had to go back and see what I missed. THAT was a big mistake! When you compare the two games side by side you can really see where MKDA falls short. The Konquest mode is even MORE of a waste of time than MKD with combos that seem just as much a pain in the butt. The Krypy is alot bigger in MKDA than in Deception but it's alot harder to build up Koins. I did enjoy seeing some of the old school characters and a few new ones. One thing I did notice was alot of the moves from MKDA were transfered over to Deception and given to other characters. If I had paid out the $50.00 for Deadly Alliance I would have felt like a dope, but since the price has dropped it was worth it. I think that once I've opened all the Koffins and unlocked all the different fighters, Deadly Alliance will get put away for a long time

Mortal Kombat: Deception - Xbox

It's a good game on the surface.

When you first begin playing MKD you'll love the looks and sounds of the game. When I bought the game, I was very excited about playing it, and the beginning movie only made me want to play it more. That all changed when I found that a big chunk of the game was locked and you could only unlock things in Konquest mode. At seeing this I just shrugged my shoulders and dived into Konquest mode. On the surface it looks like a basic role playing game, but that's only on the surface. You are forced to learn almost EVERY characters moves and combos as you make your way through the different MK realms collecting colored koins to open the krypt which holds all the goodies like characters and bios, costumes, art and little movies. After spending the better part of the day collecting koins I opened a koffin with alot of koins only to be rewarded with a staff photo. STAFF PHOTO?? what kind of crap is that??? No offence to the MK staff but I didn't pay $50.00 to see your faces. Some of the hoops you have to jump through to get certain characters are almost insane. One example would be go to "this location" at "this time" on "this date" in some little cave on a certain realm. My GOD in heaven what where they thinking?? I did what anyone who values their sanity did...I used a cheat sheet and did in about an hour what would have taken me alot longer without it. The other two MK games (puzzle fighter and chess) are merely ok, and you can pretty much beat the computer without much effort. Puzzle fighter is basically a klone of the Street Fighter version and the chess is just regular MK fights with alittle chess thrown in to break it up. Though the spell list you get to use is pretty fun. All in all it's your basic MK with alot of flash and bang but sorely lacking in substance. You would be better off waiting for the price to drop or get it used.
