5.0 out of 5 stars Great graphics and fighting fun for mature audiences, October 11, 2004

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Mortal Kombat Deception (Video Game)

If you're a fan of the Mortal Kombat series, or fighting games in general, get ready. This mature title has got puzzles, RPG, chess, and yes, lots of bloody Kombat!

The traditional aspects of Mortal Kombat are here. You have different characters to choose from. Different styles of fighting. Key combinations create gorgeous attack moves. You earn coins as you go, to spend on unlocking new characters, levels, and other secrets.

The graphics here are simply gorgeous. The floors and walls have textures from shiny and reflective to grainy matte. The glow of fire, misty mountains and glowing lights are quite impressive. Characters have robes that flow with the action and accessories that sway realistically. If you want to be gory, the blood even flows down your body.

On the other hand, in Dead or Alive the environments are amazingly reactive - fighting in a snowy area leaves tracks in the snow, and autumn leaves blow past you in the forest. In comparison, Mortal Kombat has a desert island fight seem like the ground is made of concrete. So there is still room for improvement.

Body movements are equally as well done. Gone are the days of blocky characters with jerky attacks. You can really feel like you're in a martial arts movie here, with the super smooth blocks and combo kicks. This is great for the audience the game is intended for (mature) - but means that youngsters can easily get upset by some of the very realistic back-breaking moves. There's a reason this game earned that mature rating.

Even the sub-games are so good that they could easily qualify as standalone packages. The Puzzle Kombat is in essence tetris with fighting animations for when you do well. Chess Kombat is chess with little mortal kombat pieces. You can play both of these on XBox Live too! There's also a Konquest Adventure where you wander around talking to characters and taking on quests.

Highly recommended for mature fighting game fans, and with all of the things to unlock you have great incentive to play for weeks and weeks to see everything.

I could best describe this game as Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance done right. Kombat is exactly the same as in Deadly Alliance with a few added features. In this game, the arena can be just as great a factor in the match as the opponent. Opponents can be knocked off the stage to different levels, get caught in traps, and there are even some in game weapons to be picked up. The character roster is great as well. They finally got rid of that stupid Jhonny Cage! Kabal, Baraka, Nightwolf, and Sindel are just some of the old faces making their return. And of course, what mortal kombat game would be complete without Scorpion and Sub-Zero?

The Konquest mode varies from Deadly Alliance in that it is actually an engaging story; rather than just character by character training. You manage a guy named Shujinko who travels the realms learning the ways of kombat. You meet each of the kombat characters in the game and get trained by them, as them. There are also a lot of optional tasks to complete for various villagers to earn koins. This is certainly a much better way of earning kurrncey than in MK5 which was just really boring. Though, I'm still not sure if I even dig this kurrency and krypt thing at all anyways. Oh well, they did it and its improved upon.

There are also two new features: Puzzle Kombat and Kombat chess. A mortal kombat version of chess and a falling piece game. I was skeptical at first, but these are actually a lot of fun, and rather addicting.

All in all, MK6 is really great and way better than the previous.
