Agree on the Smoke-Noob thing. Should be separate. I don't like how Smoke is Noobs b!tch now either.
But the game is far superioir to DA.
I bought DA, I tried so hard to like it, but it was cheap, the fighting was stupid. Easy combos were most of the time the most powerful, whereas the hardest to pull off were a series of weak punches and kicks, lame.
DA was also infuriating, and a lot of the MK charm was lost. No signature uppercuts or chin kicks for every character. Specials were crap, Fatalities were also very very poor.
Deception is what Deadly Alliance should have been. They shouldn't have botherred with DA.
I love MK Deadly Alliance. The intro into the game with Raiden, Shang Sung and Quan Chi fighting is amazaing. I love the new Konquest mode. It may be limited but it is great meeting all the mk characters, getting older and when u meet Shinok lol "it feels different" (the amulet coz its fake ) The arcade is better than DA but it could be improved, Dragon king isnt that hard to beat. I think its an improvement to DA and it can only get better from here.
Yeah, the intro is amazing. Shang Tsung loses to Quan Chi, getting his wrist broken in the process.
DEATHTRAPS RULE!
My favourite ones are: the one on the lowel level in Slaughterhouse, and the very large piston crusher thingy in Hell's Foundry.
I love it in the intro when Raiden makes that energy with his godly essence.
I dont think ive come accros any death traps, i have realy only been playing konquest lol. I love the level thats like entirely made of glass and u can uppurcut them down and back up and down through the glass, hillarious.
