I liked Deadly Alliance up until I realized it was EXACTLY like Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur. I mean, I still like it, but it's disappointing to know that it isn't any different than the other games out (aside from the fatalities).

I actually never ever played the other fighting games until a few months ago. I played Deadly Alliance and thought, "Ah this is kick ass!"

Then I got a chance to play Soul Calibur II, and I realized the style of play is pretty much identical. Played Virtua Fighter 4 about a week later, again, same thing. Each game has it's own very SMALL unique quality, but overall, it seems that it's the exact same fighting engine underneath.

What was cool about MK was that they had something innovative and original to offer in their first two sequels (especially MK2), but now the genre is very blended together. While I'm excited for the fact it's another MK, a big part of me is expecting it to be a disappointment.

It's just... I dunno. It doesn't seem the same.
