A fight between and The game's arenas are similar to those in, but include new features such as unique weapons which players can use, and instant-death traps which immediately kill a fighter who falls into them. The game also introduces the 'Combo Breaker', a system which allows players to interrupt up to three times per match. In contrast to Deadly Alliance, in which characters had only one, the Deception characters have two Fatalities and a suicide move. The latter is used when the phrase 'Finish Him/Her' is shown on the screen and the player is about to lose. Deception introduces two that use MK characters. 'Chess Kombat' is a minigame similar to classical chess, but uses player-selected characters as pieces that must best each other in combat to take a square.

Some pieces have certain abilities, ranging from impersonating their opponents to instantly killing one of the opposing pieces. It also adds 'Puzzle Kombat', a similar to which features versions of the MK characters that attack each other once a player gains an advantage in the game. The 'Krypt' returns from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and serves as an interface to access extra content hidden in 'koffins' (actual coffins named with the series' trademark misspelling). In Deception, the size of the Krypt was reduced from 676 koffins to 400 koffins.

Some koffins also have locks that require keys which can only be found in the Konquest mode. The Krypt in Mortal Kombat: Deception includes twelve bonus characters (which was cut down to six characters in the GameCube version).

In Konquest, a young Shujinko meets Damashi, a being who requests his assistance in collecting six powerful items, the Kamidogu, to send to the Elder Gods. By the time he collects the six Kamidogu, Shujinko is an old man, having spent forty-six years on his mission.

However, Damashi is then revealed to be the Dragon King Onaga, who deceived Shujinko to obtain the six Kamidogu.

Descargar Driver De Joystick Eurocase. Several of the returning characters have been redesigned and were given new moves, such as Liu Kang, who reappears as a zombie. The GameCube version and PlayStation Portable have two more playable characters: the sub-boss from the original Mortal Kombat,, and Shao Kahn, the final boss of the past digitized MK titles; both were previously thought to have perished in the prologue of Deadly Alliance. Character redesigns were generally well-accepted, namely in the case of Sub-Zero.

Once again appearing youthful rather than his depiction as a in Deadly Alliance, Sub-Zero sported a 'grandmaster' armor set that was often likened to from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Scorpion was redesigned to resemble a more classical ninja look, while characters like Ermac received a considerable makeover from the standard palette-swap ninja fare, offering up a more sorcerer-like appearance. Development [ ] Mortal Kombat co-creator wanted Deception to be an unpredictable fighting game that gave players new features 'they could never imagine'. In order to do so, the Midway staff listened to fans on bulletin boards to know what to work on for Deception, such as the playable characters.

Wanting to surprise fans and make the game deeper, they added the puzzle and chess minigames (the chess minigame had first been considered for Deadly Alliance, but the developers lacked time to implement it). Boon and John Podlasek supervised the staff, which was divided into teams to work on different areas of the game. One of their concerns was to maintain the traditional feel of the MK series as they wanted the game's violence to make it a more realistic fighting game, rather than 'a fighting simulator'. Character appearances were improved to make their moves 'more responsive' to the player's input.

They also wanted to bring back several characters they felt were absent for too long — including,,, and Mileena — and an arena with several weapons which players could use to fight; however, it was remade to become the Liu Kang's Tomb arena. Characters' combos were redesigned to be distinctive so that they would be more important; as Boon noted, they were necessary for any move the player would use to inflict more damage on an opponent. The Midway staff focused on the designs and functions of the backgrounds, wanting to make them as influential to the outcome of the battle as the fighting between the characters. Because of popular demand and favorable reception of Deadly Alliance, the number of finishing moves, known as Fatalities, increased to two per character. The Fatalities were developed by a group of animators led by; they comically described Mileena's Fatality in which she eats the opponents' neck as the most disturbing due to how her 'sexy moves' are modeled from Pesina. The Hara-Kiri moves were added to allow the losers to perform a finishing move as well, creating a race between both players. The Death Traps, meant to be introduced in the previous game, were added to give the combat more strategy as well as to give more chances to players to win a fight if they are at a disadvantage.

The game was originally meant to have other new finishing moves, such as tortures and falling cliffs similar to Fatalities. One of the main features of Deception was the emphasis on online gameplay, which had yet to become common for console fighting games. A team of engineers took almost a full year to decide if the feature was viable. The MK team focused their energies solely on platforms that had strong online functionality available to the end consumer; this led to a greater focus on the and versions. Because the GameCube games require some re-engineering compared to the other platforms when porting, it was decided to exclude the GameCube from the work of the team until the online hurdles were cleared. Some time after the game's release, Boon commented that he was disappointed that the GameCube version did not feature online gameplay as he regarded it as 'the best in the business'.

Details about the game were first confirmed to the general public in the May 2003 issue of, in which the game was called Mortal Kombat VI, and an online mode was confirmed. On February 6, 2004, Midway registered the domain names mkdeception.com and mortalkombatdeception.com. When Midway Entertainment was asked if Mortal Kombat: Deception was the official title, the developers gave no answers at that time.

Later that month, Midway released the first trailer from the game, confirming this title. Release [ ] Mortal Kombat: Deception was released for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) and Xbox in North America on October 4, 2004, and in territories on November 19, 2004. While the game is known as Mortal Kombat Mystification in France, other countries did not change its original name. A GameCube version was later released exclusively in North America on March 1, 2005. Two versions were released for both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles: the standard edition for both systems, a Premium Pack for the PS2, and Kollector's Edition for the Xbox.

The Premium Pack and Kollector's Edition include a metal trading card and a bonus disc containing a history of Mortal Kombat, several video biographies of characters, and an 'arcade perfect' version of the original. The Xbox version cover art features either, Raiden, Baraka and Mileena, while the PS2 version uses the character Sub-Zero. In October 2005, the game was redistributed as a title on the Xbox and as a title on the PS2, coming in new packaging and sold for a discounted price. Deception is also included along with and in the compilation Mortal Kombat Kollection, which was released on September 29, 2008 for the PS2.

The PlayStation 2 version was a runner-up in 's PS2 Best of 2004 Awards in the best fighting game category, and won the Readers' Choice.

Reviews [ ] Reception Aggregate score Aggregator Score PS2/Xbox: 81 GC: 77 Review scores Publication Score PS2/Xbox: B+ GC: B PS2/Xbox: 8.5/10 GC: 8.3/10.0 PS2/Xbox: 2.5/5 GC: 2.0/5.0 PS2/Xbox: 8.7/10 PS2/Xbox: 8.8/10 Xbox: 9.1/10 Awards Publication Award Fighting Game of the Year Fighting Game of the Year had 81 favourable reviews out of 100 for both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions; the GameCube version received 77 favorable reviews. Louis Bedigian of praised the interaction with stages as one of the best parts of the game, commenting that it adds more strategy to the combat.

He praised the return of 'classic characters', commenting on their new designs and how different their attacks are. Jeremy Dunham of IGN wrote that it was the best game of the Mortal Kombat series. He also stated that the removal of special move buttons, which caused too much damage to an opponent, was one of the developer's best decisions. With the special moves removed from the fights, and the addition of Breakers, players are now able to stop any combo. However, he called character designs in Deception 'robotic' in comparison to other fighting games such as the series.

The soundtrack was also criticized for having 'basic sound effects'. GameSpot's Greg Kasavin commented that the fights have been highly improved with the addition of new fighting styles which: 'is clearly inspired by kung fu movies'. Although he stated the fights were not perfect and noted they could end in a few seconds due to the interaction with the arenas, he liked how painful and funny some moves looked. 's Dale Nardozzi praised the characters' animations and movements, adding that the soundtrack: 'sets the tone perfectly for your basic, disembowelments, decapitations, and impalements.'

The Konquest Mode received mixed opinions. Dunham liked how the Konquest Mode explains the storyline from the game. Conversely, Kasavin commented that the Konquest Mode 'is the weak point from the game' and described it as 'ugly', lacking good voice acting and graphics. However, he noted that one of the 'few nice touches' in Konquest was 'hitting anybody you want'. He added that the mode had to be completed if he wanted to unlock characters.

Bedigian complained that the Konquest is the biggest flaw of the game, criticizing the storyline, the trainings, and voice acting. However, Nardozzi found the mini-games to be very entertaining if played online. In contrast to the Xbox and PS2 versions, the GameCube port received lower scores from publications. It has been criticized for the lack of an online mode and pixelated picture quality on the unlockable videos & cutscenes, though still praised it. Although the addition of Goro and Shao Kahn was well received, GameSpot opined that the other ports were better, while also commenting on Goro's appearance, which looks 'anemic'. In his review, 's Miguel Lopez wrote the GameCube version 'is far from the best version of the game' and advised players to use another port to play.

Mortal Kombat: Unchained [ ] Mortal Kombat: Unchained is the title of the version of Mortal Kombat: Deception, developed. The game was released on November 13, 2006, in North America; November 24, 2006, in Europe; and December 9, 2006, in Australia. Unchained includes all the characters from the GameCube version, and four more characters —,, and Kitana — from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance that are exclusive to the PlayStation Portable version. The four characters have only one Fatality and no Hara-kiri in contrast to other characters, most likely because that was all they had in Deadly Alliance. Exclusive to the Unchained version is the Endurance mode, where players can compete against a constant wave of opponents.

The system's functionality can be used for multiplayer games. Characters who remain hidden in the other versions appear unlocked by default in Unchained; producer Shaun Himmerick explained that the staff wanted to show players characters that were difficult to obtain in Deception, such as Liu Kang.

Although Midway did not develop the game, they helped Just Games Interactives optimize their code and the feature, as they wanted to keep the frame rate very high. Metacritic gave it an average of 70 from 14 reviews. Jeff Haynes from IGN mentioned problems with the controls and criticized the long loading times. References [ ].
