Have you read all our fall movie reviews? Then it's time to see how the game conversions stack up:
Mortal Kombat: Deception
Also known as: Mortal Kombat 6, Mortal Kombat VI, Mortal Kombat: Mystification (France) (EU)

The sixth episode of the violent and visceral fighting series from Midway pounces on the success of Deadly Alliance with Mortal Kombat: Deception -- the first online game in the history of the franchise. Destructible environments and breakthrough walls hearken back to the days of MK3's surprise smash-through stages, while favorite returning characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena and Baraka join all-new fighters Darrius, Dairou, and Kobra in a battle to save the realms. In all, the game boasts more than 24 different kombatants, in addition to an enormous Konquest adventure mode, a Kombat Chess mini-game, and an homage to Capcom's Puzzle Fighter series as extras.
