Mortal Kombat: Deception (PS2)

This is a great fighting game, graphics are good, moves are plentiful thanks to each fighter having three fighting styles, one of these lets you wield a weapon. The interactive levels are really fun and detailed to, not only do you have to worry about your opponant raining blows on you, but theres other nasty things to get impaled/crushed/drowned/burned with. One of my favourite levels is the classic pit level (many old skool MK fans will recognise) where you can uppercut someone onto a bed of spikes!! Which goes without saying that the MK uber-violence is till there, in the same ridiculous blood-drenched way that the fans know and love.

The amount of features that are in the main menu is also astonishing, lots and lots to do and see, and the mini game "Puzzle Kombat" is highly addictive and a nice break from the annoyance of being bashed by Noob-Smoke for the tenth time in a row!

So to recap, good fun with mates or alone, lots of cool stuff to do and funny tongue in cheek violence. Plus Amazon sells copies for £5.96. Whats there not to like?

I am a huge fan of Mortal Kombat and have collected all of
them:(MK1, 2, 3, Ultimate MK3, advanced, Trilogy, 4, Gold, Mythologies, special forces & Deadly Alliance, and have pre-ordered Deception) since i got sega mega-drive when i was little.
And every time a new one came out it was more than 10x better,
but Deception is going to be 100x better than Deadly Alliance.

There are loads of classic characters that are back like:Baraka, Ermac, Jade, Kabal, Nightwolf, Noob-Saibot, Smoke, Raiden,
Scorpion, Sindel, Sub-Zero, Tanya and the secret character
Lui Kang, who is a zombie.

There are loads of new features like: Death Traps, Mini Game's
and Kari Kari(suicidal) moves and Onine Kombat.

In most level there are Death traps, which kill your opponant
in one shot eg.The Dark Prison(spiked walls that closes onto
the opponant!
Here are the names of the levels, which if your a Mortal Kombat
fan you will reconise some of them! [the ones with a * beside
them means there is a death trap(s)]:
Beetle Lair
Slaughter House*
Sky Temple*
YinYang Island*
Chamber Of Artifacts
Nethership Interior

Dragon Mountain
Lui Kang's Tomb

Living Forest
Dragon King's Temple*

The Konquest is even more better, because you start as a
16 year-old teenager, who is called 'Shujinko' and end as
a 60 year-old man. In Konquest you can meet literally
every single Mortal Kombat character including Motaro, the
boss of MK3!

Deception is abit like Dead or Alive, but with alot of blood
and can make your opponant EXPLODE! On most levels your start
in an area and you think "Hey, i'm not in the right arena", but
you are in the right arena, all your have to do is blast them
through a railing or wall, and to make it even better the
'uppercuts' are back, so you can punch them in the sky and make
them land on old wood flooring and make them fall to the next
area!

I recommend this game to all Beat'em-up and Mortal Kombat fans!
i give this game top 5 stars!
