The sixth episode of the violent and visceral fighting series from Midway pounces on the success of Deadly Alliance with Mortal Kombat: Deception -- the first online game in the history of the franchise. Destructible environments and breakthrough walls hearken back to the days of MK3's surprise smash-through stages, while favorite returning characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena and Baraka join all-new fighters Darrius, Dairou, and Kobra in a battle to save the realms. In all, the game boasts more than 24 different kombatants, in addition to an enormous Konquest adventure mode, a Kombat Chess mini-game, and an homage to Capcom's Puzzle Fighter series as extras.

What it does offer is a whole bunch of secondary content that will no doubt thrill the pants off of the series' diehard fans. There is a lot in here, and despite the shortcomings of the core gameplay, the act of getting access to all this stuff is pretty addicting. If you're anything like me, you'll almost dread the actual fights. Read More »
