I looked at every preview, every screen shot and this is not wat any1 would expect. It revolutionizes Mortal Kombat. I mean all the 2-D games were fine but then it got really dumb by the time it got to MK gold and MK4, but MK Deadly Alliance is better than all the games put 2gether.each fighter has 3 of his/hers own fighter style with different moves 4 each. the gameplay looks awesome. the characters look outstanding , well there is nothing else i can say other than WOW! I want 2 see Tekken or Street Fighter beat this game. and 4 all u die hard MK fans, but have a gaming system not PS2, this is also 4 XBOX, Gamecube, and Gameboy Advance. 4 christmas, 4 those parents who r shopping 4 a very good game 4 ur kids this will b the game they will play 4 many monthes 2 come. Hope my preview helps.
