Deadly alliance all the way. Armageddeon is horrible beisdes having all the characters to play as.

in my opinion, Deadly Alliance is the best choice, and here is why:
deadly alliance has better graphics, maybe the best story of all MK games, good gameplay, and is an amaZing game after all.
armageddon... well, if i had the chance to make two things in the history of the world disappear, it would be: Hitler, and Mortal Kombat Armageddon. i mean, the game is a shit. the storyline is just something they came up, to serve as an excuse for the game to have a story... the fact that all the mk characters are back, is the worst thing they could come up with. MK storyline must be a continuity, in wich people die, and ressurect, or simply die and disappear. there are characters such as sheeva, stryker, meat, kintaro etc that COULD NOT return, because they died, or they simply stopped belonging to the main story. so they sould have just disappeared. this way, the storyline is completely fucked up. all the wars, deaths, betrayals and alliances of the past were in vain, because everyone is alive, and in the end... well that is a true cliff hanger. no one knows whats the future of MK, not even have a clue, because everyone is alive, and so, it is just as if all the rivalries of MK haven't existed. in armageddon, even the konquest mode is shit. in deception, this mode was awesome, completely beautifull, but in armageddon, the story is bad, the main character is a joke. another thing, MK was always known for the fatalities, ok.. you can say that the story is what makes mk diferent of all beat'm ups, but these games don't live for they stories, and what really makes MK different are the fatalities. well, midway, not happy enough to have completely fucked up a beautifull saga like MK with armageddon, just decided to destroy what rests, by taking the fatalities off the game. and don't tel me that it is only a different style of finisher, that what you call a personalised fatality, to me is just the worst thing they could do with MK. all the game is ridiculous to me. so in my opinion, buy DA it is a much better game over all.

Also, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is MUCH harder to find than MKA. I had to call like 5 video game stores to find MKDA.

i vote da. and u can do cool glitches in it like the one with reptile wen u do fatality on him with mavado.

Deadly Alliance:

You can impale people with swords, it has good story, around 20 fighters, konquest that is basically just training and story learning, cool videos, concepts, and sketches, 1 fatality per fighter, cool arenas and a large krypt.

Armageddon:

Over 60 characters, kreate-a-fatality, kreate-a-fighter, motor kombat, cool arenas, small krypt, aerial kombat, MKSM kind of konquest, Death Traps, and online play.

I'm not voting between them because I personally believe that they are both great games, so it's your decision.

Deadly Alliance for sure. Probably the best MK game ever in terms of quality and everything else.

Fun gameplay.
Better fatalities.
Awesome, amazing, incredible and deep storyline.
Test your might
Test your sight sight.
Better graphics imo.
Excellent huge krypt (the best krypt of the 3 games) with loads of trivia, and fun stuff to see.

But the thing is, if you already played MKD, you might feel a bit turned down with MKDA, because MKDA doesn’t have:

Death traps.
2 fatalities (which in general are fantastic and 10000 times better then in MKDA)
Anew style of conquest.
Puzzle.
Chess.
The music of MKDA isn’t really that good.
And a few other fun things.

MKA on the other hand, as an MK game, is a HUGE disappointment in almost every aspect:

Worst fatalities ever, horrible, horrible, horrible.
Terrible lame endings. Lame lame lame. Most are bad written and all are boring Katas.
No bios in the game.
Sucky characters select screen, some graphics looks bleh, and some arenas just don’t shock as much as the ones of MKDA and MKD, they aren’t as beautiful (not all, but most).

But on the other hand, MKA has some pretty things:

Amazing Konquest adventure, very fun and awesome.
A fun but simple motor kombat game.
Awesome death traps.
Very awesome VS screen pics and menu screen pics.
Collectors edition of special characters.
Outstanding music.
And a few others mall things.

Overall, trust me, as an real fan, I can tell you that as an MK game, MKDA is superior in every possible aspect. So get that one. Its much better.

MKA was a disappointment, a rushed horrible thing, but it has its fun things despite its flaws, but they are not as good as MKDAs.

The only thing that really sets MKA really high is its Konquest, but even though MKDAs konquest isn’t as fun as that one, is much better for all the awesome information it gives you.

I say, go for MKDA, rent it, play it, and then test MKA....then decide.

Armageddon easy. DA is shit

as i saw somewhere in this forum:
What is your major malfuction soldier??

MKDA or MKA?This my friend I would say to take a day to think about it.Search for gameplay movies etc.Check the info and stuff and you will have your decision.

Whats wrong with all of you.The obvious and wise choice is MKA its better,has more characters,more arenas,better konquest(not storywise),kreate a karacter,motor kombat and its funner.The only three downsides to MKA are:small krypt ,you can beat the game pretty fast,and the killer no fatalities(they do have fatalities but there lame and cheesy),other than that its way better than MKDA to me at least.

man, bringing all the MK characters back, was one of the worst ideas i've seen. it completely screws up the entire storyline. The only things in wich armageddon is superior to DA, is the KAK, and Konquest mode. all the rest in MKA is pure shit. DA takes the cake, easily

Armageddon for me. It feels slightly less clunky than Deadly Alliance too me. I also don't mind that the moves have been condensed due to each character having one style and a weapon I always had such a hard time remembering combos in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance because their were so many so in this case, less is better. I like having all of the characters as well. This doesn't really make Mortal Kombat Armageddon better, but its nice to have them. and lastly I just seem to have more fun with Mortal Kombat A this isn't to say that Mortal Kombat DA wasn't fun because I thought it was really fun as well. I just have more fun with Mortal Kombat Armageddon

ow... Your weird. Haven't you played any previous MK GAMES? I was fucking excited when i heard all of the chars were coming back. It fucked up the storyline, but i still was excited to see the old characters brought back from the previous games: Such as Rain, Kai, Sektor, Sheeva, Kintaro, Motaro, etc. Still, MKA was a fun game but yes MK:DA had better graphics IMO, but still. I prefer MKA. How much as i love MK:DA, it could use some work. I wouldn't call MKA horrible; because it was a nice game to me.

Whoever's choosing MKDA over MKA for the graphics is just lame. Yeah, graphics are important, but they dont decide between a great game and a suckass game (unless the graphics are horrendously bad to where it seems you're playing a retarded Nintendo 64). And besides, the graphical difference between MKDA and MKA isn't even that noticible.

Exactly. My point is, that it isn't a sucky game just because of a storyline, or graphics. Choose what makes you happier, or funner. MKA is funner to me. Well, that's my choice.

i dont know y everyone is so dissapointed with armagedon ok maybe the story is a bit shit but thats not the point its the gameplay the blood the thing that makes mk mk and of coarse the KAK and the KAF and the great konquest i personaly think that mka is a good game

the only reason that poeple r saying that mkda is better is because they rember getting it out for the first time and playing this new type of mk


go for mka

I enjoy both of them honestly, they're both lots of fun for me.

BTW, the N64 graphics weren't bad, much better then PS pos graphics...MKT was better for PSX, however Mk4 sucked ass for PS and was much better for the N64 since that was a more 3D graphical system then PS was, it handled games better graphically then PS did by far. Look at Mario 64, MK4, DK, Banjo, Zelda and the list goes on an on.

EXACTLY MKA rocks!!!As for MKDA...ummm...meh

MKDA ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mkda because of three styles of kombat mka only two

MKT was not better for the psx it was lamer to me with its put-me-to-sleep load times.And for the question MKA ALL THE WAY!!!

I`m leaving this

well da is good, but armageddon just has way cool new stuff. creating characters how awsome is that.all characters unlocked except 4. dude mka

I will say Mortal Kombat Deadly Aliance for reassons above. But another would be I just prefer the game but please do rent them both try them out and decide for yourself.
