Mortal Kombat: Deception review:
The addition of a story mode and two mini-game modes help bring in more casual gamers which expand its crowd-pleasing ability. When all is said and done however, Deception needs to try harder to not seem like an improved version of Deadly Alliance. The combo-driven combat does seem a bit annoying but any enthusiast of fighting games should enjoy Mortal Kombat: Deception.
Mortal Kombat: Deception review:
Mortal Kombat: Deception has taken all of the great things about modern technology and brought in huge truckloads of fan service, while still managing to feel as fresh and new as any of the other titles did when they were released. It's bigger, it's badder and there's a whole lot of cutting... and hey, that's a good thing, for once. MKD is a can't miss game for fans old and new alike.

Mortal Kombat: Deception review:
Deception’s plot picks up at the end of DeadlyAlliance’s, with Shang Tsung and Quan Chi defeating Raiden in hand-to-hand combat. But before either of them can take control of the Dragon King’s undead army, they start fighting each other, and then the Dragon King himself, Onaga, shows up.
Mortal Kombat: Deception review:
Many games over the years have tried to capture aspects of violence and brutality within their content in an attempt to appeal to the masses. And while things like a blood-splattering head shot do prove to be quite a thrill, there’s just something about grabbing your opponent’s neck and pulling out their spine that provides a rush of excitement that only a Mortal Kombat game could produce. First introduced on the Sega Genesis, the MK games helped pave the way for extreme violence in video games. But violent or not, they were also excellent fighting games enjoyed by many, and though it has seen some changes over the years, the MK series has always managed to maintain the wonderful aspects that fans have come to love, and now we are finally introduced to the sixth incarnation in the popular franchise: Mortal Kombat: Deception.
Mortal Kombat: Deception review:
We all love blood and gore. In our desensitized society, we crave to see someone getting their head ripped off and plunged onto a spike, or even see someone flailing inside a meat grinder begging for mercy while their skin is ripped from the bone. Sure, those descriptions are pretty graphic by some standards, but when you are talking about a game like Mortal Kombat, you can’t expect much more of the discussion. Boon and Tobias’ gift to the world has evolved into a worldwide phenomenon that has transcended everything people expected. Now, with Mortal Kombat: Deception, Midway and the boys at hand have taken the game further than you can possibly imagine, and it pays off.
Mortal Kombat: Deception review:
Probably witness to more deaths than war and disease, the Mortal Kombat series has survived for 12 years, sold 22 million copies and is still recognised as a major force in the gaming community. Few beat-'em-ups have carried this kind of stature for so long. Dead Or Alive a mere whippersnapper in comparison and these days Street fighter is more likely to be sweeping the streets than fighting on them. However, age doesn't always bring beauty and maybe this series is showing signs of becoming simply a mere Mortal. The key question is whether or not this new experience is a justifiable £40 improvement over the last Xbox outing, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance?
