Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (Nintendo GameCube, 2002)

I had been itching to play a fighting game for awhile and saw this one priced right so I snagged it. I am glad I did because this game is cool. Not only is there a practice mode, but there is a 'Konquest' mode that teaches you about game play. I am having a little problem doing some of the combos, but that is the standard controller that I have and my own big dumb thumbs. When you do the Konquest mode, it gives you 'coins' that you can spend in the 'Krypt'. The more coins you get, the more cool stuff you can unlock. Be warned, you must have a memory card in order to play the konquest mode. Setting up a player profile is a bit sketchy, but you'll figure it out. Just don't forget your pass code like I did! You don't need the manual for this game because you can learn the different combos in the Practice Mode. Be sure you watch the opening video in the beginning if you like to follow the Mortal Kombat storyline. I would have liked to see more options in the options menu, like maybe a letterbox mode. It has an option to turn down the blood if you have small kids and are worried about that kind of stuff. You can turn up or down the difficulty as well. I turned mine down to novice until I get the moves down. You can also turn off the vibrate thing in the controller with the options mode too.
When I first got this game I played in arcade mode, I did pretty well on the first two or three fights. But then I met sub-zero. That guy will teach you the benefit of blocking for sure. It was a pleasure watching him tear me apart like he did. First thing I'd do if I bought this game would be to set up a profile and do the konquest thing to learn the moves and combos. Maybe someday I'll buy another controller and play the VS. mode against someone.
Another cool thing about this game, you can pick from three different fighting styles while you are playing. One of these styles involves using a weapon. You just click the L button while you are fighting and it goes to the next style. There are different moves and combos for each style! I can't wait to learn them all for each character.
If you liked Mortal Kombat type games in the past, you are likely to love this one as well. I can't wait to unlock my first locked character!
If anyone knows if there is a better fighting controller out there for Game Cube, please let me know! I've looked here and there but found nothing I liked so far. Other than that inconvienence, this game rates Excellent for me!

I bought this game because My family likes games full of competition. This game has that. It has brought my family together to spend time because it has different colors and characters as well as being so graphic. This is one dislike there.

this is one of my favorite games for the gamecube.its dificult for me to beat but it can have multiple endings based on the character you play and end the game with.There is a part of the game which will help you learn the game and during that get Koins which will alow you to unlock secrets and videos and other stuff, which can make it fun and entertaining, i would recomend it if you have the time.

LOVE MORTAL KOMBAT SERIES. GREAT GRAPHICS AND SOUND! FAST ACTION PLAY, BLOODY, GO-GO-GO. GOOD OLD AND NEW CHARACTERS. MY 9 YR. OLD SON LIKES THE TRAINING MODE. GOOD OPTION FOR NEWBIES.

I love mortal kombat. And I have every game except for this one and thats why I bought it. Plus the price was very nice and on top of that the game was just like new. I was really happy with the game play. I normally dont have alot of money to spend on games but this one was worth it.
