At one time, the Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, for 64 bit consoles, brought the series out of its daze. Mortal Kombat fully transformed into three dimensions without losing that unique atmosphere. A harsh fighting game, harsh realities. Yes, Mortal was no longer the same as before, he changed, but who can say that the game was bad and non-canonical? All of the above can be attributed to the adaptation of the fifth part, on the GBA. It would seem to make a good port almost impossible, given the weak iron stuffing of the handheld. However, a miracle happened. You will not believe, but after a couple of minutes of playing, you begin to believe that the game is really three-dimensional. Here you can also deftly dodge a traumatic combo, simultaneously switch the fighting style, or parry a powerful super-blow, as in the original game. And here you really feel freedom of movement, not at all like in Tekken Advance, which in fact has become purely two-dimensional. The quality of graphics, sound and music is at a high level. Nicely modeled arenas and a lot of all sorts of goodies migrated from the older version. Even freshly knocked out blood does not dry out, and remains baked in the arena!
A wonderful port, an example of how you can adapt technically powerful games to weak consoles. And also - a good and very nice appendage to the main, fifth part of Mortal Kombat.
