It’s not easy to make Grand Theft Auto look like Johnny Dangerously, but this sequel to gaming’s granddaddy of gore does it effortlessly. Now, if you’re looking for something fresh and innovative, you’ll be disappointed. Deadly Alliance’s primary thrust seems to be serving notice that when it comes to video game violence, this franchise does “bloodier” better than anyone. To hell with lame gunshot wounds and other gang violence. This game’s fatalities include creative beheadings and dismemberments that would make Hannibal green with envy. And if it’s good enough for him, then hell, it’s good enough for us.
