9.0 Presentation
We don't know how they do it, but Midway has somehow mixed blood and guts with a humorous touch for that unique unexplainable
beast that is Mortal Kombat.
8.0 Graphics
The characters still have a plastic look to them and the animations are somewhat stiff. But the stages and environments are
top notch, while the particle effects and fatalities look cool.
7.5 Sound
Deception's soundtrack is pretty solid, but the audio lacks a real punch when it comes to the sound effects and voice-overs.
But we're not sure if that counts, as the vocals are intentionally bad.
8.0 Gameplay
A more refined gameplay system than Deadly Alliance makes for a much more balanced and playable game. The CPU AI is inconsistent
though, and the combos are still simplistic and canned.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
It's going to be hard to run out of things to do here. Kombat Chess, Puzzle Kombat, a 30-hour Konquest mode, 24 playable characters,
almost 50 fatalities, 700 unlockables, and online play is awesome.
