2.9
Deadly Alliance is the worst mk ever,worst roster,worst moves and a slow fighting engine.

Great idea man



I give MKDA a 7.9.......LtoDaJ2588, the graphics were one of the best things in DA...I thought they were pretty good(except for the projectiles).Anyway,the fighting engine was also somewhat simple and slow(but weapons were a great idea),not saying it was horrible but it the combo system could've been a lot better.The difficulty was veryfun and challenging and the krypt is what had you playing this game over and over which helped save tis game a bit or it would have got really boring really fast.

So overall it was a pretty good game that could have been better IMO 7.9 C+/B-

I give it a 6.
It was pretty fun for a short while, but...ya'know. We all do.

Lets see...

I would give MK: DA a 8.9

I like alot of what the MK team have done with this one. The fighting styles. MK: DA unlike past MK games is all about face to face kombat. Styles in MK: DA opened up more ways to attack , than just round housing and uppercutting. I thought the pacing was ok , but the kombat itself for me was crazy and fun. Fighting was much more tricky than past MK games, and to me that made it more interesting. Certain combos had to be blocked at the right place at the right time. I liked the way Konquest fleshed out the story more helpedyou get used to the game. The only things I didn't like about MK: DA was the weakest fatality outing,lame new character outing( to me the onlycool new characters were Kenshi and Frost),and slow kombat. Overall to me the game fighting out weights the bad.

Even the 2D games had a friendlier juggling system then DA.

Story was good, the potential was there for it to be great, but it was still no failure by any means.

Ok for the first ever attempt at a true 3D game, projectiles still being fired forwards as if it was a 2D game.

A welcome return for test you might and sight inbetwen rounds.

"broken" characters meant that some eg. Scorpion were unfairly better to play as, stronger with no loss of speed, and longer more damaging combos.

A good effort was made with the 3 style system but to couldn't deliver due to the overwealming hype surrounding it. note. more than one style has been done before, the only difference being that prevoius games that have used it haven't had it as their main gameplay feature.

Disapointing fatalities, ranging from 2D rehashes to pathetic (Quan-Chi and that crap neck streacher)

Good idea from the Krpyt, but a lot were useless dispite parts of genius (cooking with Scorpion)

Enjoyable Konquest mode.

Overall: Enough hype and it's huge fanbase saved this from being bad, played like an average game, sold like a good game, big improvements needed on the fighting engine, although it left it's mark as a new competitor in the 3D fighting arena. Seems rushed as with a lot of Midway games but a fountation has been made to improve upon.

5/10

The game overall is very good. After you play it for an extended period of time, it does become boring to an extent. There is definitely lots of room for improvement. That being said I gave it an 8, because being the first MK on the "next-gen" systems, it was very well done and very fun the first couple times you played.
I give it a 7.5

By the way, great thread idea.

7/10 , nothing to say

I scored with Sarah from VF it was polygonerific.

Thanks for the support.

Overall, I guess I'd give MK:DA a 4/10. The only good thing I can say about it is that it's better than MK4.

I give it a 3/10. No replay value after you go through it once, with one character. Lots of useless content, only thing worth unlocking is the characters, alternate costumes, and extra stages.

MKDA gets a 7.0
Average graphics, average fighting, but has the MK theme, which redeems it a bit.

I'd give it an 8/10.

MKDA 7.5/10
Some gameplay problems and lack a little of fun in general.
My friends and I got bored after 30 minutes.

mk 1-8.0 i still play it
mk2- 10.0 perfect score..i still play it.
mk3/umk3-5.8 i play it at times,but perfer not to.
mk4/gold-4.0 i lost interest after 2 weeks
mkda-3.0 i lost interest after 1 week..

I'll give it an 8/10. Good graphics, good sound, and fun to play, but the graphics aren't the best and style branch combos are HARD! And some characters share the same scream, etc.

Game for discussion

Need For Speed Underground

My score for this game is a 7.8 out of 10. The gameplay is pretty good but it gets boring racing on the same tracks over and over again. The physics in the game are awful, but the graphics are ok.

Fun thread idea, LtoDaJ2588.

I'd give Need for speed underground a 7, since it is kind of shallow, at least i thought it was.

May i suggest, and it's only a suggestion, that the thread should rate more than 1 game at a time, since it could be quite cumbersome to wait for one particular game to come? And also, how long should we rate one game before moving on to the next?

Anyway, good thread.

7.4/10

like you said, it gets boring to race on the same tracks over and over again. Motion-blur effects are too much blurring, but fun tough.

three styles of racing is enough. A lot of parts to tune up your car. Easy to adapt to the game. good music. cool system of points (slides,etc..)

8/10

Fun game, lots of customisable features, good car physics, nice to control, good CPU A.I., tracks are set up nice, the hardest races are really fun, despite track repetition it's a good first game for the underground series and I'm expecting more of the same from its sequel.

I give it a 9. I like racing games and the only unrealistic thing in that game is the crashes. The game is also pretty challenging and long

MKDA-6.7
Need for Speed Underground:8.5

MK:DA(Xbox/Ps2/GC) - Bad. 4.5/10.
MK4(Arcade or DC) - Very Good. 10/10.
Metal Slug(Arcade/PsOne) - Super Duper. 10/10.
Tactical Espionage Actoin:Metal Gear Solid(PsOne) - Great. 9.5/10.
Doom III - So good that it doesn't need to be played to be reviewed . 1000/10.


Doom III has been reviewed in the September issue of PC GAMER, by the way, and it recieved a mere 94%

sorry, my first Double Post YAY!!!
