 Deception was better October 13, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
There are a lot of ups and downs to this game. I like how you can be every character. I do not like how they only have one fighting style and a weapon style. So you can't really do any combos that change from one fighting style to another. Another thing I don't like is that you can only create one character per profile, unlike the wrestling CAW's. The konquest mode, in my opinion was pretty weak. First, they producers said there would be 2 modes- a good, and an evil. It is neat, however, how Taven fights in the konquest mode, but you fight people every other second, and you really cannot explore. What happened to the Chaos realm? Orderrealm? You don't see much of the realms at all, and my favorite part of Deception was the fact that you could explore all kinds of stuff, meditate and get secret things, talk to people and do side missions. It feels as though they rushed this game a tad.
I'm not saying it is a bad game, by no means, because it's not- I'm just saying, in my opinion, it's not as good as Deception. And why is Blaze all of a sudden the main character and a giant monster? Cool, yes, but it's kind of odd that they chose Blaze. To be honest, the story mode is a tad confusing. It almost seems like they are trying to cram way way too much into it, but without dedicating a lot of time to the story mode.
Also, I don't like how you cannot do wagers in versus battle. So, basically, you have to complete the konquest mode multiple times or do the arcade a lot to get koins to create a fighter. I'm not a fan of the krypt, either. They made a huge fuss about how they wanted it to be called the Vault.
And, just like with Deception, they promised to have ripped clothing etc. when you fight in the arcade, and yet again they failed to do so.
I know they took a chance with fatalities, and that's ok, but I think I speak for a lot of people when I say they are pretty weak fatalities. I mean, most of the fatalities in the last 3 games weren't too great and didn't seem to have a lot of thought put into them.
Overall, there are a lot of cool things in the game, but more disappointing things, especially when they claim it's the mother of all MK games. You can't go back into the story mode and explore anything, which is a bummer. I do like a lot of parts in the story mode, but it's not long enough and you can't really see the realms in all of their glory.
I've been playing MK since the 1st game came out- so I am a loyal fan, but this game just isn't all it was hyped up to be. But, nevertheless, overall, it's not a bad game. It is MK, afterall.

I just want to say that giving this game three stars out of spite is stupid. Yeah they tried something new with the fatalities and it has its ups and downs but it makes it a lot easier to bust them and there are a lot of options to do. But his other complaint about the ending was stupid. In deception when you beat the game all you saw were pictures that were presented comic book style which was so boring, this one isnt much better but is no way worse than the others. With that being said I will give my thoughts. I personally think this is the best one to date. It brings back virtually every character ever made in the game. Even the secret ones like chameleon, rain, and noob saibot which you can use by himself and not have to team him up with smoke like in deception. It also comes with part 3 with the original graphics and movments which is fun to reflect on how far the game has come. As well as some bonus games like a mario kart style racing game this is fun and funny to watch. But with the insane selection of characters and the option to do air combos and the huge improvement in konquest mode this game is untouchable. It would definitley have been cool to also have original fatalities per player but besides that this is probly the best fighting game to date.
Things To Please, Things To Anger October 12, 2006

There are many things to like about this game and there are somethings that will annoy the fans. The Konquest mode on this game is definitely the best out of the three we have seen so far (Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon). You play Taven, a half god that has to complete a quest that he doesn't know about or Armageddon will destroy Earthrealm. Konquest mode was really well done and the story is addicting and very interesting. No longer do you have to learn tedious combos to progress through the game. That is a big plus.
It is really great to see all of the characters on the arcade mode. There are a few flaws here that may make fans angry. One thing being that the individual fatalities are gone. Now it is just random button pushing that causes different things to happen (rip off arms, legs, heads and so on). Another problem is that when you beat the game, the end story is told only by a voice and the only thing you see is your character performing martial arts moves (katas) on top of the pyramid.
So, overall, there are things on here that will make a lot of fans happy. There are also a lot of things that will make fans angry. I still say it is worth buying. Having all of those characters to choose from to play makes up for where the game lacks.
