![]() Incidentally, the Game Boy Advance version of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is the only version of the game that actually features the Shang Tsung morphing element the console Shang Tsung cannot morph into other characters. By playing through the game, players can unlock Kano, Sub-Zero, Kitana, Quan Chi, and Shang Tsung. Fighters that have made the cut this time around are Scorpion, Sonya, Jax, and Kung Lau, with newcomers Kenshi, Frost, and Li Mei rounding out the normal set of troops. Cartridge space is definitely the largest factor in its development, and for the GBA game the developers lifted 12 of the most prominent fighters from the arsenal of 23 created for the consoles. The move from console to handheld must have been a daunting task, especially with what the designers were pulling off for the PS2, GCN, and X-box systems. This game definitely follows the same game design formula as the sequels that hit the GameCube, PlayStation 2 and X-Box, but the fighting engine is more tailored for the Game Boy Advance hardware and button configuration.

The console versions of MK: DA are great games in their own right, but wait until you experience the title on the Game Boy Advance. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is the first Mortal Kombat sequel that's made specifically for the home console market the creators reworked certain gameplay mechanics, creating new ideas and keeping some old ones for its brand new fighting design. Though the series shifted dramatically in Mortal Kombat 4 by ousting the actors and moving into 3D, the blood and gore stayed.
