I am about to cry my little friend midway try to make the game tekken
Mkda isnt MK was tekken i love mk4/ trilogy cause voises fatalitys THIS CRAZY FAST GAME and dont care about graphics well i think MKda take 2 of 10 and deception take 7 of 10
What the new in Decepiton ???
Characters yeah this only keep me play deception
they own the game :((((

Jesus Christ, do you even bother to try to write in complete sentences?

I agree, I barely understood both posts. But going back to it, many people do not like the MK series is due to the fact of it being something you like or dont like. It isnt like the japaneese fighting games (Guilty Gear, Tekken, VF, MVC, ect), because it is not insanly fast, and doesnt have one billion hit combos. But I think this game is really good (my fav fighting game series is Guily Gear). It is just as enjoyable as the other games.

Well for one, nothing has dramatically changed in Deception from DA. They just "tweaked" some fighting styles, switched some fighting styles around, added in an ACTUAL conquest mode to the game, added a few characters, and little nik-naks like that. It's pretty much DA, with more nostalgia, so, I wouldn't be suprised if that was all it got. Oh well...

I'm not sure why the score is as low as 6, but they are basically comparing it to VF4 Evo, which is truly a more complete package in terms of fighing techniques. The problem is, that I don't think comparing MK to VF is even a worthwhile comparison.
Mortal Kombat is meant to be a fun, arcade style, fighting game. While it's depth has improved with the multiple fighting styles, it was never meant to be the "work for years to master 1 character" type of game. To me, it's like comparing NBA Street to ESPN NBA 2kt5. ESPN is much more realistic, more in depth, and offers a much deeper experience. Street is more fun to pick up a play around. Which is better? Neither, they are meant to be very different experiences, so they could not be directly compared.
Taken as a quick to learn, arcade fighter with secrets to unlock, it's a great game, easily at least 8/10. However, if you try to make it something it's not, a game strategic fighting game with thousands of moves each character ala VF4, you would be disappointed.

I imagine that Deception got a lower score than Deadly Alliance because Deception is just an improved version of Deadly Alliance.
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorrow got a lower score than the original Splinter Cell for the same reason in OXBM so its not a big deal.

Personally I think Deadly Alliance and Deception are as good as each other. Deception has no major changes over DA in terms of gameplay and graphics which is a MAJOR dissapointment , the graphics and gameplay are not as good as, say Dead or Alive. The Konquest mode is NOT good, who wants to run around some boring RPG just unlocking things, frankly I would much prefer to have all character unlocked from the start I mean most people just want to get down to the action straight away instead of pussyfooting around unlocking it all. OTher than that though, I LOVE these MK games, I loved them as a kid and I still love them. I'd give both MK:DA and MK:D an 8.5/10 easy.

Isn't that the point of a sequel? To make the same thing over again. DA was good but it fell short in several areas that have been fixed in MKD. The game really did improve on alot of MKDA's short comings. MK made bigger leaps in game conten't between games than any other fighter has between sequels so I don't see why they should be held to some other standard.
I would have to agree that trying to compare it to VF4 or Soul Calibur 2 would be unfair. They arnt ment to be taken as the same way. I don';t see how anyone could rate MKD lower than MKDA. At a certain point a game can become stale and old, rehashed and unexiting. The new MK line hasn't hit that point yet. MK4 was gultiy of that but MKD is not. Game ratings should be about if the game is any good and is succsessful at its goals, not if the reviewer thinks is fresh and unique. I didn't want something different than the last game. I wanted MORE of the last game.
MKD is exactly what I wanted it to be. MKDA with more and better content. I got what I wanted and then some. Thats what counts. They can say whatever they want but I haven't stopped playing it since it came out. As a person that has a number of games I have yet to even play thats saying something.

I'd give it a pretty high score if I was rating it as a complete package for casual gamers.
MKD has a lot more than any other fighter I know of in terms of diversity.
If I were to rate the quality of these areas individually, I'd give some of them low scores.
game play design = Needs a ton of work. The basic design shows a lot of promise IMO, but it's just not used to it's real potential.
I think the death traps and multi tired arenas are a great idea.
--------------------------------
Konquest= I had fun with it, but It could have been better. Too much of the same thing = Find this, and bring it to me.....You have to do this over and over and over and over...............
I did enjoy being able to explore the MK universe and seeing the old characters again. I also think that it was a great idea for implementing a unique training mode.
---------------------------------
Puzzle = It's fun but I never play it. I think it was a good idea, but to me it still seems like a waste of time. they could have spent that time making the Game play better which is the most important part of a fighting game.
Just so happens, it's the part they payed the least attention to. ?????? That's all I have to say about that.
----------------------------------
Chess Kombat = This was a good idea too, but it's yet another part of the game that I never play. I think it could have been spent on making other things better.
---------------------------------
If for MK7 They only have the basic fighting game modes.
Arcade, VS, training....stuff like that I'd be more than happy.
The side games are fun, but I can live without them.
All I need is something like MKT straight up Kombat!

OMG MKDA was good???
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics : oh yeah nice graphics but if you want graphics go play DOA
Speed : yeah crazy speed its 2 times slower than tekken MK without speed is dead
Gameplay : .....................
Sound : hehehe all about mkda make me cry .....
Something new : yeah stupid characters /they own quan chi

MK needs speed like all old MK series need crazy sound need crazy gameplay and no graphics and 60% and more its characters
I luv mk series but they try to own the game
Good Luck

Agree 95 %
Play Hard Go Pro Be The Best And F..k The Rest

I really hope your right!!!!
i loved mk da and i dont want it to change!
It`s enough for me that there are new characters, new stages and new fatalitys!!!!!!!!!
The puzzle, chess, konquest and online modes are just a really BIG bonus!
I CAN`T WAIT TO 19 NOVEMBER. I`M TAKING A DAY OFF WORK, FRIDAY 19 NOV. JUST TO PLAY MY FUTURE FAVORITTE GAME

some of you newbs need to learn how to spell coherently.
Anyways DA and Deception are easily the weakest of the series. There horrible slow, bad graphics and cheap story line.
Boon cant write shit, they need Tobais back!

It's a conspiracy, you see. Fighting games are in financial competion with each other. Follow this algorithm:

Namco makes Tekken.

Namco makes Soul Calibur.

Namco sees MK as a threat to their fighting game sales.

Namco owns a HUGE portion of Sony's stock.

Namco tells Sony to tell their magazine to rank MK low.

PS magazine ranks MK low for Namco, and it is apparently unjust.

Bam.
