GAME: Mortal Kombat - Deception

Following a cinematic opening, this quickly settles into the regular beat-’em-up game. All of the usual features are here, such as progressing through the game to unlock more characters.

The big new addition is the ability to play online against other opponents. This feature has been sadly lacking until now, but playing against real people makes it worth the effort to learn the finishing death moves. Other new add-ons include a battle version of chess and the world’s most violent Tetris.
