I picked up Deadly Alliance a little after it hit stores. I've been around since MK1, and I've played/owned the sequels that are worth owning.
I think this game has hit a wall as far as gameplay goes. The different fighting styles/combos for each character, and being able to use a weapon is cool. Most of the death-moves are lame, graphics and sound are decent, yet there is something missing... What? I have no idea.
To me it seems like a rehash of all the other MK games, with the addition of better graphics/sound and different or updated people/moves. 5/10
