Product ReviewsMortal Kombat: Deception (Sony PlayStation 2, 2004)

FINISH HIM! great game

i first played it on the gamecube, was a mortal kombat since the game came out but as i was young i wasnt allowed to play it due to the "gore" or violence of a video game.

now i have them all lol

very underrated game for its time and funRead full review...

Game is way to scratched

Bout the the game for around 11$ and it came a day early. It included the case and the manual which was pretty cool, until I got to the game. I got a very scratched game that could barely make it through the memory card load. I’ve tried clearing to see if would help ( it didn’t). The middle of it just has a complete circle of just scratch.

Great MK Game!

The Mortal Kombat series has always been a phenomenon. There are legions of dedicated fans out there that absolutely love it, and even more that can't stand it. But more often than not, it seems to boil down to the one simple argument: Are you a Street Fighter guy or a Mortal Kombat guy? Yet despite the fact that I, myself, have always been a Ryu and Ken supporter, the last couple of fighters from Midway have really gotten my attention. Especially this one: which is so huge and intimidating, that it will take even the most dedicated franchise fans out there quite some time to vanquish.
But don't be misled by the overly positive score above. As despite the fact that I enjoyed the game thoroughly, was impressed by its replayablity and its depth, and felt that it has the best online fighting model until Dead or Alive Ultimate comes out, it's still not recommended for everyone. Japanese 2D fighting elitists or hardcore Tekken addicts may not be able to accept it -- and that's fine, personal tastes are personal tastes.

As for me, I found Mortal Kombat: Deception to be a great diversion from the usual fighting template. So while it may not be as complex or responsive as a number of other 3D (or even 2D) fighters out there, it's a hell of a lot of fun (whether you stink at it or not_. And sometimes at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.Read full review...

New era MK game done right.

I was always a big mortal kombat fan, grew up with From MK1-3 I was always going to the game store renting those. IStopped after that mainly because I didn't have an N64 or PS until later.

I tried MK 4 earlier this year and can say I was not at all impressed, the gameply was just a total letdown.

Anyways I decided to invest in MK Deception and must say, IT is a great game!! It has different modes, you can do puzzle kombat, or Kombat chess. as for the Kombat it's pretty fluid and the characters look badass.

When you first get the game, half the characters are locked so you have to play 'konquest' mode to unlock the rest of them. This is a minor annoyance, conquest mode isn't too bad and you can also unlock the old school costumes if you can find them.Read full review...

TEST YOUR MIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE BEEN AN MK FAN SINCE MIDWAY FIRST INTRODUCED THIS SERIES ON THE NOW RETRO GAMES OF THE 90'S. I CANT SAY I LOVE THIS GAME ANY MORE OR LESS THAN ANY OTHERS IN THE SERIES BUT I DO KNOW I LOVE IT. I HAVE HAD MANY MK GAMES IN THE PAST AND STILL DO BUT OVER TIME I TRADED OR SOLD A FEW. THIS BEING ONE OF THEM.
SO I RECENTLY MADE A DECISION TO HUNT DOWN AND FING THE MISSING PEICES TO THE MK PUZZLE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT DECEPTION WAS ONE OF THE GAMES I MISSED. SO REGARDLESS OF IT BEING AN OLDER GAME IT WAS NEW TO ME AND THATS ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT IT. I LOVED THE FACT THAT IT PICKED OFF RIGHT WERE THE PREVIOUS GAME HAD ENDED. THE GRAPHICS SURPRISED ME AS WELL. TO ME A STORY LINE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE GAMING EXPERIENCE AND MK DECEPTION HAS A GREAT ONE. I CANT HELP BUT "LEARN" MORE AND MORE ABOUT MK. MIDWAY MAKES THE CHARACTERS HAVE PERSONALITY. ALL THE FIGHTING STYLES ARE AWESOME AND FIERCE, WITH THE COMMON GORE AND BLOOD OF KOMBAT. MK DECEPTION ALSO ALOWS A PLAYER TO ENGAGE IN "CHESS KOMBAT" WHICH DOUBLES THE AMOUNT OF TECHNIQUE AND SKILL AND ADDS STRATEGY A PLAYER MUST USE TO DEFEAT OPPONENTS. IT IS SET UP MORE OR LESS LIKE A CHESS BOARD ONY INSTEAD OF "ROOKS" AND "KNIGHT" ITS "SHIFTERS" AND "SORCERERS" ECT.
PLAYERS TAKE TURNS MOVING THE "PIECES" TO THE SQUARES WHICH THE PEICES ARE THE MK CHARACTERS WHICH YOU PICKED FOR YOUR "TEAM". TO ENGAGE YOUR OPPONENT YOU ONLY HAVE TO "CHALLENGE" THE SQUARE HE/SHE IS ON. (THEN fight)
WINNER IS THE ONE WHO CAPTURES THE "LEADER"
MK DECTEPTION ALSO OFFERS PUZZLE KOMBAT WHICH IS A TETRIS STYLE GAME BUT DIFFERNT IN MANY WAYS. ENJOY WATCHING YOUR CHARACTER STRIKE YOUR ENEMY ON THE BOTTOM OF SCREEN AS YOU SCORE. AND THERE IS A SURPRISE WHEN YOU WIN.
KONQUEST IS ANOTHER MODE YOU CAN PLAY. ITS MORE OF A "LEVEL" GAME WITH MANY CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY.
THE FATALITIES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD. HARA KIRI IS MY FAVORITE.
ALL IN ALL ITS A GREAT GAME RECOMENDED FOR ALL FIGHTING FANS AND ESPECIALLY MK FANS. OWN A PEICE OF MK HISTORY WITH MORTAL KOMBAT DECEPTIONRead full review...

Game was pretty good over all....

Over all I thought the game was great! I would give it hands down two thums up! I really like going on the konquest adventures and also discovering new worlds. The minor thing I don't like about the game is when you think you finish the game, your not done. I decided to buy the game over all because I have started a collection of vedio games for mortal kombat.Plus, too I don't have too many vedio games to start out with..Read full review...

Mortal Kombat Deception Premium Pack

Mortal Kombat Deception has it all fighting, konquest mode, puzzle fighter, and kombat chess. First the fighting engine is much tighter than other MKs with 3D gameplay being fine tuned this go around ,multi tiered stages, all new fatalities for each person, a suicide move (Hairi Kiri), and a better parry system. In konquest mode you play one of the new characters named shujinko through his journey to becomt the elder gods champion of mortal kombat, but along the way he gets deceived into bringing a powerful and evil ruler back to power hence the title deception. Puzzle fighter is sort of a knock off of the street fighter puzzle fighter only this time it has a sadistic twist on things allowing fatalities to be done. Chess kombat takes chess to a level where every MK fan will enjoy the game whether they play or not allowing kombat on a chess board. The premium pack also comes with a history of MK, demo of area 51, interactive trading cards, and MK1. For any collector of the series this is a must have. Also this is the very first time you can play online against anyone with an internet connection for worldwide play to recapture the feel of the arcade without hunting for quarters. Hope this review helps you.Read full review...
