Deadly Alliance is a great fighter. It;s unpolished, but it's a lot of fun and it actually requires some thought, unlike some of your latest topics.

Strange as i'm in the same boat as you, i always was a huge MK fan and always took it over street fighter 'back in the day', but MK4 was a bitter dissapointment and the series went to shit with the crappy spin-off games 'MK Mythologies Sub Zero (contender with superman 64 as the ultimate crap for the system) and Jax Special Forces (just far out lame). When DA came along i was extremely impressed , how a sequel should be - a total overhaul and correcting everything wrong with the installment before.

I completely agree with you, but I'll stick with the prequels. I played MK4 to death on my PSone as for some reason it impressed me quite a bit. I loved the superb and super gory FMV endings and IMO it had the best fatalities since MK2. Oh well, we all enjoy different things. MK Gold on the other hand I think we can all agree on.

MK DA is a decent fighter, but nowhere near the calibur of the Virtua Fighter series like every review I've read on it swears it is. The combat is stiff, movement is slow (I like the fact that Midway wanted to keep the combat close, but if you get knocked backwards it takes forever to walk back to your opponent. Where the hell's my run button?!?) and I'm not a huge fan of the Attack 1,2,3,4 layout over the standard HP, LP, HK, LK format. The character design is good and the backgrounds are well done, but it still needs some work. Over all its a good step up for the franchise. Oh, yeah, this "Buying Koffins" crap can jump straight up my ass. Screw that.

Almost every review on MK DA compares it to VF. We're just restating what was already said.

Not do Diss Virtua Fighter but what's so freakin Deep about it. The Same Punch Punch Punch pause you're open Combo is in every version for every character. Is getting around it what makes it deep? Don't get me wrong I Love Virtua Fighter and if there was an MK VS VF we all know who'd win.
