The Good: A lot of content, solid fight system, pretty good graphics, new Survival mode is funThe Bad: Fight system is lacking weapon stances, muddy textures, Konquest mode is missing, only one Fatality per characterI know what you're probably thinking. Deadly Alliance on the GBA? Puh-lease. Don't criticize the game just yet. Deadly Alliance for GBA is a solid fighter with a trick 3D fighting system that is simplified from the console versions. The game features a full Krypt, mini-games, and a new Survival mode. The graphics are surprisingly good and the sound quality is excellent.Unlike past Mortal Kombat handheld ports this game is actually good. The fight system is a mix of 2D and 3D with each character's 2 main martial arts stances (the weapon stance was taken out). The fight system may seem dumbed down or too simple because the GBA only has two face buttons. Using a combo of the D-pad and face buttons you can pull off some great combos with ease. The whole transition feels natural and hand tailored to the console. My main disappointment is the lack of characters. Only about 10 made it into the GBA version, but a new character, Sareena, made it into the game from Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. I am also disappointed that each character only has one Fatalitiy (like in the console version), but they are different and quite detailed for a GBA game.The sound quality is excellent with the announcer's voice intact. The graphics are pretty decent with full 3D backgrounds, but they are very muddy and lack any detail. The graphics are a love/hate type of thing. The Test-You-Might and Sight are fully intact here which is nice, but the Konquest mode is obviously missing, but instead there is a Survival mode that was stuck in here. There is a full Krypt with alternative costumes and other things. So this is a huge MK experience on the GBA and probably the best one.If you loved Deadly Alliance or just want a solid fighter on your GBA then pick this up. There is a lot of content in here and the fight system is solid and fluid. The graphics look pretty and sound quality is excellent so you have no reason not to play this!

Sadly, I was one of the few who bought Mortal Kombat Advance when it first came out based on the fact that I was a big fan of the series and craved a Mortal Kombat game to play on the go. Considering as to how the Gameboy Advance is geared more towards to 2-D style gameplay; I figured, at the time, that Mortal Kombat Advance would be a killer game to play on the system. Instead, it was downright mess. It was unresponsive and played nothing like the console game it was based upon(Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, which is the MK game that got me hooked). So, when Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance came out, I was extremely hesitant to even try the game. Even with reading reviews on it, I still felt it wouldn't be any good and put off buying it. I felt that, since all the other handheld versions of MK that came out weren't too good, this game wouldn't be to good.Well, recently, I purchased Tekken Advance and was blown away at the fact that Namco was able to bring the game to Gameboy Advance and it actually play just like the console version. So, I asked one of the employees at the place where I purchase my videogames at if there were any games like Tekken that played with a more 3-D feel to it and he suggested Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. Again, I bulked. "I don't know..." I told him, "I've been duped too many times to be taken again on buying a Mortal Kombat game. I don't want to waste my money." So, to sell me on the game, he let me try it out for a few minutes on my system. I'm glad he did because it's the absolute best Mortal Kombat game I've ever played on a handheld. Screenshots really don't do the game justice...you have to see it in motion.The game has 12 playable characters, and plays almost exactly like the console versions. It has plenty to unlock..additional costumes, arenas, and whatnot. The game has survival and two-player link modes like in most other fighting games, as well as night vision and psychedelic modes.I'm glad we've finally got a Mortal Kombat game worth playing on a handheld. It's fun, addictive, and finally gives me faith that a good Mortal Kombat game can be played on a handheld. So much so, that I'm looking forward to playing Mortal Kombat Deception Unchained on the Playstation Portable once it comes out. If only we could sweet talk Midway into making a proper Mortal Kombat Trilogy or Mortal Kombat Gold for the handhelds, those were my two most favorite games.
