So, this is pretty much it:

I have some money i want to spend, and unfortunately, i've never got my hands on a copy of MK Deadly Alliance. I've played the GBA version, but yeah... it's not so much of a great version of the game to judge it upon (not meaning it was not a good version, it was a great port for the GBA, indeed).

So, on the PS2, i have Mortal Kombat Deception and Shaolin Monks. I've thought about getting Armageddon, but at the time, my money needed to be spent in another way. Now that i can buy Deadly Alliance, i'm doubtfull about it, because, having Deception already, is it really worth getting DA?

Talking about the game itself, Hell, i want to play as Frost, and to have Scorpion's best costume, and have Reptile, and Kung Lao, the standard version of Raiden, not to speak about Shang and Quan.
I really want to try out the impalling feature, and i heard that gameplay wise, DA is better than Deception.

Please help.

EDIT: IMO, Deception has some 'clunkyness' atached to it's fighting mechanics, much of the moves have problems connecting with each other, leaving a lack of fluidity in the overall aspect of the gameplay.

Is Deadly Alliance any better? I've read that DA has better graphics and gameplay mechanics than Deception. I just want to know how much of it is true.
