The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Mortal Kombat has been one of the most popular fighting game franchises in the history of the genre. However, many believe that the earlier games in the series still remain the best, and that holds true with Deception, the latest Mortal Kombat title. It's not that MK: D is bad, because it certainly is not. It's simply that the fighting aspects of the game remain very similar to MK: Deadly Alliance, which caters to a casual market. The extra modes of Puzzle Kombat, Chess Kombat, online play, and Konquest certainly add a great deal to the title, but if you didn't like Deadly Alliance, chances are you won't like Deception either.
