Oh God, how I hate this game!
What's most important in this game: the combos you have to make and it NEVER works!!!??
Maybe it's because I'm left-handed and I do not have enough control, power and speed in my right hand (fingers), but I suspect it has to do with Gamecube's controller with this particular game. (The Gamecube controller I actually like very much, there isn't a single game that gives me problems for being a left-handed gamer, the c-stick for instance, an annoyance for many people, I handle pretty well)
This game did ruin my good mood completely.
Not only do you have to push the right combinations, but it also has to be done in a certain fashion: rhythm and timing must be 100 percent accurate or else you fail and fail over and over again.
Good lord, what a terrible waste of time this game is.
Well obviously it isn't any fun for me, but I can imagine that with a different controller (PS II or XBox) it'll be more comfortable. Still, any game that depends heavily (not to say completely on swift and acrobatic fingerworks suck big time!

This is a awful game. If you want a colorful and I dont mean bloody game, then get Super Mario Sunshine which is great for children under 8 years of age and any adult or teenager who inst afraid to admit they still, in fact, enjoy Barney and Disney Movies. The only reason I give this 2 stars is because I heard you can turn the blood off which makes it still violent but makes it bearable for people over 30.

first of all this game wasn't as good I thought it was going to be.Anyways this game has pretty good graphics.The good thing is that when you battle you get to switch into two kinds of fighting modes and one weapon mode.I think if this game didn't have the blood it wouldn't of been as famous as it is.In order to beet this game you have to get all the endings of every fighter including the two secret characters.to get the secret characters you have to beet konquest mode.After you beet konquest mode go to arcade and hold down on Raiden, while holding down press the a button and then it'll say it's name.To use the other one you have to do the same thing but this time you do it on Cyrax.In order to unlock the other characters you have to buy them with the coins.The earn coins you have to make your own profile.Another thing you have to do is to buy all the coffins.I like this game because it has the making of MKDA.It also has the MK history.Last but not least it also has a music video.You should try this game.

The guy that compared this game to Soul Calibre is clearly
smoking crack.
This game is far better.
The mixed fighting styles were very well done and are a
decent representation of the true style. Although I'm
fairly certain that they made some styles up to fill
empty space, judging by the fact that I had never heard
of them... and unlike the others... they didn't offer
any background on them.
Konquest... is wicked lame. All of this could be achieved
in practice mode... their only way to get you to play this
feature... is by the easy koins. I also think the guys at
midway slept their way thru the coding here. On some of
the more complex combos you could execute it perfectly
numerous times and it won't register with the game and
then you can do some random move completely unrelated to
the current task and score a point. What's the deal.
Anyone that has tried Scorpion's mixed style combos
knows exactly what I mean.
The mini-movies are fairly well done, I greatly enjoy
watching the characters perform their katas.
Oh and for anyone that hasn't noticed... the big fat
drunken kung-fu master's name Bo Rai Cho... is alot
like the Spanish word for Drunk... ~grin~

Many reviews I have read have all rated MKD highly. I don't understand why. I can only comment on the GC version and I'm going to compare it to Soul Calibur on Dreamcast. I think it's a fair comparison because SC sets a good benchmark for all 3D fighting games.
Character graphics
Not brilliant. The movements are smooth enough but the details are very grainy and far inferior to SC character rendering.
5/10
Backdrops
Very very bland. SC offered a variety of backdrops which feature highly detailed and beautifully coloured scenery. MKD offers comparatively barren backdrops which are boring and graphically ill-defined.
2/10
Sounds
Game music in MKD is boring and monotonous. SC offered much greater variety and vastly different scores for each fight arena. Character sounds are bog standard grunts whilst SC offered actual Japanese speech. Weapon clash sounds are inferior to SC.
3/10
Gameplay
Apart from the usual arcade mode, MKD tries to mimic SC by offering a Konquest mode. Basically, the game "trains" you in each player and the idea is to win as many koins as possible to spend in the Krypt (where you buy secret characters, arenas, picture cards, hints etc). This is similar to SC's missions but not as interesting as each character's konquest follows the same route. Some of the tasks set in Konquest are also very pointless and, whilst offering inane pleasure to the teenager, does very little to a normal adult. Examples include hitting an opponent until he/she bleeds 50 pints of blood and sticking your weapon into your opponent's body.
The fighting itself once again tries to mimick SC's 3D environment but falls short. Characters can move around the arena like in SC but the 'camera action' is not as good.
4/10
Weapons
Nothing to bark about here.
5/10
Controls
Apart from being able to configure the buttons, you're stuck with using the directional pad. The small joystick is not functional. At least they could've given players the option to use either.
5/10
Extras
This feature offers picture cards, hints, videos, alternate costumes for some characters amongst other things. The picture cards are far inferior to the galleries offered in SC. Once unlocking the secret characters, I felt very little urge to unlock anything else.
3/10
Overall
I almost bought this game when it first came out. Thank God I waited until the price dropped. The "variety" in each character's fighting styles is a bit of a con because the basic principle is the same for each character (high and low attacks, variations on special attacks, 1 fatality per character, combos). Each character is not as unique as one would think.
4/10
