Game Description

Delivering the most complete fighting game to date, along with the lethal intensity that the franchise has been known for since its 1992 debut in arcades, Mortal Komba: Deception is set to revolutionize the fighting game genre. With unlimited competition online plus multiple fatalities per character, multi-tiered interactive backgrounds and extensive new game modes, Mortal Kombat: Deception delivers, for the first time, an enhanced free-roaming Konquest mode, an action/strategy board game and a unique puzzle game that compliment the enhanced, one-on-one fighting mode.

Key Features

• New, multiple fatalities and interactive backgrounds. With two fatalities per character, newly instituted death traps, stage fatalities and numerous interactive Kombat backgrounds, this game is looking to take the Mortal Kombat series to an all-new level of pain.

• Online for both Xbox and PS2. For the first time ever, Mortal Kombat will be online…and in more ways than one! Mortal Kombat: Deception will support online play for both PS2 and Xbox Live and will feature online matches and tournaments, as well as online gameplay capabilities for both the board game and puzzle modes.

• New Konquest mode. A completely redesigned single player Konquest mission will provide an entirely fresh and exciting gameplay experience by adding the likes of Direct Player Control, worlds populated by NPC (Non-Player-Controlled) characters, unique hidden features, a “real time” clock that represents the equivalent of a 24-hour day and a strong RPG gameplay element.

• New board game mode. In this all-new feature, players will be able to partake in a game of chess-like strategy, but with a fun (and, of course, bloody) Mortal Kombat twist.

• New puzzle game mode. With ties to the likes of your favorite puzzle video games of past, each character in the Mortal Kombat: Deception puzzle mode will have a super-move they can trigger against their opponent. Over 10 MK characters will be represented and there is plenty to both challenge and laugh at in this mode.
