I will. I've had mine pre ordered for some time. I can hardly wait... no no I CAN'T wait. I have been an avid MK fan since day one.

Just ask poor Rugal.... he has had to hear me ramble on about it constantly.

No. My interest in this series died a long time ago.

"Mercy!" , posted Mon 18 Nov 11:25

Just in case some people don't know. This isn't exactly the same old Mortal Kombat with uppercuts and jump ins all day. For example here is a PDF file from the BradyGames guide for Scorpion.

http://www.bradygames.com/preview/mkda/scorpion.pdf

Look at all of the moves and combinations (a la Tekken,VF). Each character has two hand to hand fighting styles and one with a weapon (not like MK4 where they appear out of nowhere... these weapons have to be drawn and placed back.).

I'm just hoping that everyone will at least give MK a small chance. The days of rainbow flavor ninjas are over (and that was only in UMK3 and Trilogy). It's a reinvention of the series.

I admit,I too cared about MK at one time. Back when I was in middle school when MK3 was out. Ugh,don't know what I was smokin' then.

Yes, despite my feelings about the MK series, I'm going to give it yet another chance.. I can't say I like the looks of the characters, though.

I've got my copy (for my poor under used XBox) on pre-order and I plan to pick it up tomorrow.

I figure it can't be any worse then Tekken (I hate Tekken!) but it's got enough secrets to make it worth the buy.

I'm really looking forward to giving the new gameplay a whirl! (I might write a mini-review tomorrow nigh/ Wednesday after noon if no one beats me to it ^__^)

Well I did, at E3.

First thing I checked: telephone dial-a-combos. Still there? Yes. OK, I'm done here.

Even if it does have "dial up combos" (what 3d fighters usually don't?) I don't care as long as its fun. Obviously this is a game marketed to home gamers and seriously, how many people are going to have serious tournaments in their house? This is not a tourney game and hopefully it entertains you, which is what games are MEANT to be, unlike people who take it too far (such as people who break joysticks on arcades when losing in Street Fighter @_@)

Back in the day when you could find MK and MK2 in arcades, there were two camps of fighter fans in my area: Street Fighter and MK. It was pretty devisive and I fell into the Street Fighter camp so even now I have these decade old biases going so I really could care less about this game. I'm just waiting patiently for Guilty Gear XX.

No I haven't had the privilege, there is only one SF arcade left in my town (besides turbo which sits in a emulated cabinet containing a bunch of cps-1 games) that I know if, its Alpha 3 at my college and the 1 player button doesn't work so I never get to playone anyone. But i've heard the stories heh.

Well, this is the first review I have seen so far. I still want to hear what MMcafe members have to say about the game, though.

Seems like IGN liked it.

--->
Presentation
This is Mortal Kombat and you'll know it from the moment you start. A great secrets menu and superb layout earn extra points where it counts. 9.0
Graphics
We know that the characters look as they were made from plastic, but they're great nonetheless. The blood effects and particles are just as spicy, but the fatalities stink. 8.5
Sound
A great soundtrack mixed with typical fighting game grunts. What's with the whispered narrator? 8.0
Gameplay
Finally, the MK fighting system makes sense. Smooth, fluid, and full of strategy, this is the best-playing game in the series by far. 8.5
Lasting Appeal
With 667 unlockables, including hidden characters, production videos, artwork and more, Deadly Alliance has plenty of single player replay Let alone the two-player versus mode. 9.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 8.6

It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off.

A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.

I mean crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.

"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I'm Batman -- and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition.

EGM also gave it 8,7,7.5 and PSM gave it an 8/10 with a bronze must buy award.

The game is out in most stores already. I still haven't received my copy yet, but when I do I'll write a little review.

Let us know what you think. Over time the MK series has turned into a parody of itself -if such a thing is possible- so I'm interested in seeing if someone has finally gotten the games back on track.
