I generally trust IGN, but I don’t agree on a couple of points – curious to know what others think. IGN review:
We are a happy office. For the first time in all of IGN\'s history, we can sit together in unison and say in agreement that we enjoyed the latest Mortal Kombat game. Not without its problems, particularly in terms of the unforgiving CPU aggression, Deadly Alliance is still among the best fighting games of 2002. A late night favorite for the last couple of weeks and for a few months more, Deadly Alliance is a remarkable achievement in the history of a series we wrote off long ago. Congratulations all around, and congratulations to anyone lucky enough to pick this one up! - Jeremy Dunham
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

i totally agree, its like reading my mind, EXCEPT that the sound deserved less, the xbox version sound was better what with the ability to load up music from the HD and all

How did you have a chance to compare? Do you have both XBOX and PS2 and tried it for both? I have both and I generally find that XBOX versions are a little more reliable and faster loading (cleaner graphics sometimes too). The only exception seems to be Vice City.
Anyway, I thought it was a little harsh to say the fatalities stink. I\'d be curious to know how many fatalities they got to see... all of them? If that\'s the case, then I\'m a bit discouraged.

I can see that. The game is kinda fun and very bloody.

its so good to see this getting good reviewws, mk will always have a soft spot for me, but after mk2 i was always dissapointed

Hopefully I\'ll be finding out how much I like it when I hit blockbuster up later on.
-
- And let me know what you think when you\'ve played it... so far, I\'m quite pleased.
-
how many stages are there?
and is there such thing as the pit stage where you can do this deadly fatality?
How many are stage fatality?
how many finishing moves can one character do? If it only do one, then that kinda suck.
