.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 recl its crown as king of the
beat-'em-ups. Just like movies and music 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 e 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
nent 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 alities 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

Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
From the franchise that rocked the world and revolutionized the
fighting game genre, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance enters the
21st century with an all-new fighting system, an in-depth,
supernatural storyline and infamous brutal alities that push
the limits of the next-generation console systems.
Throughout Mortal Kombat's history, many have attempted and
failed to take control of the tournament and therefore gain
immortality. Now, two sorcerers, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, unable
to achieve their goal of immortality separately, join forces.
This deadly alliance will likely ensure the destruction of Raiden
and the mortals. With their combined powers, Shang Tsung and Quan
Chi represent Earth's greatest threat...
