Mortal Kombat: Deception
Review by MarkoftheFighters
"Perfect!!"
Well, not perfect but well done. Very amazing just as the last one, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Mainly just the same as the last one with combos, special moves, interactive envornments, bloody, and fatalities! Besides fighting, there's Konquest Mode which is basically like that mini game in Deception. Chess! That's right, Chess! You don't play like regular chess but similiar with special moves and to take units, go atop of them and get ready to fight! Really, you do fight... Puzzle Kombat! Awww! They're soo small and have big heads! How adorable! It's just like playing Street Fighter Puzzle Fighters. This game is good, but lacks skill in voice acting.
Graphics 9/10
What else should I give it? Com'on, we're still in development in graphics! Mortal Kombat has smooth, I mean very smooth graphics but the blood... ugh, it's a bit fake, but who cares? Why did I give it a 9? Well, try out the Konquest Mode in that game and you'll understand. It's pretty horrible...
Sound 6/10
Umm... at least give it some effort. Jeez, the voice acting is bad. This game has character with deep and strong voices. "GET OVAH HERE!" "FINISH HIM!" You're just hearing the same thing over and over again like in every other Mortal Kombat games. lol, also in Konquest Mode, the voice acting is... ugh... Very bad! The charaters speak fast and talk as if they were forced to act or being held at gunpoint. BAAAAAAH'D
Controls 8/10
Meh, they're okay. Not bad, but what else? You can switch fighting styles with the L1 button, throw with R1, etc... Please don't complain about slow reaction in controls. Just get practice. You have imethose movements.
Gameplay 9/10
Since this game has many mini games, I'll try to make this short.
The Fighting is a bit crazy with blood flying everyhwere and head decapitation. The characters fight just a bit...fast. The interaction environment is a cool thing because it's just fun to throw people off building and slamming them through floors and walls.
In Kombat Chess, it's not great, but who cares. It's like playing real chess, you have to be real patient to play. Waiting is a pain. Fighting takes time because it loads and saves. Like I said before, you can use specials like to heal, sacrifice, and teleport.
In Puzzle Kombat, I believe it's more fun because it's a puzzle game! WHOA! They're cute little fighters. The cute little fighters fight while you play your puzzle game. Specials are a cool thing too. Each character has their own special, some are bad, some are cool. Fatalities are okay, but in disappointment, no decapitation, arm ripping, leg ripping, just SQUISH!
Konquest!! Just a bad way to unlock secrets because just like in Deception, you collect coins after a training for fight. But in this, you actually learn about the story. The voice acting and graphics begin to hurt here because they become worse. If you play, you'll get it. I just can't stand playing some boring RPG in a fighting game.
This brings me to the story...
Story 7/10
Oh gosh... The scores that I give are getting lower. Oh well! The story is a bit weird but that's how Mortal Kombat is. The producers just keep throwing in new characters to make up the story. You have the Outworl, Inworld, Netherrealm, etc. It's confusing! @_@ lol, no really. I mean, really, first you have Shang Sung, then Quan Chi, then Shang Sung with Quan Chi, now THE DRAGON KING! OH NO, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? The producers may never know...
Overall..... A 9!!!!
