		Mortal Kombat was the first to introduce moves that did not use half-circles (tap back, tap back, punch), as well as moves that did not require a button press (such as tap back, tap back, then forward).
		Mortal Kombat 4 brought the series into 3D, replacing the digitized fighters of the previous games with polygon models, while Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was the first in the series to skip arcades altogether and go directly to consoles, a symptom of U.S. arcade market's dramatic decline.
		The newest installment in the series, Mortal Kombat: Deception, was released for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 platforms in October 2004 (with a Nintendo GameCube version released in February 2005).

	GameSpy: Mortal Kombat: Deception Review
		The Mortal Kombat series is possessed by an odd sort of charm that probably has a lot to do with nostalgia.
		Mortal Kombat: Deception is the latest of the "new generation" of MK games, and just like its predecessor, it's built around all the things that made the series so memorable in the first place.
		In this manner, Mortal Kombat: Deception both exhibits the kind of depth that modern fighting games require for them to be taken seriously, as well as rewards serious players with hard-hitting, efficient tools.

		In Deadly Alliance, Shang Tsung had won several Mortal Kombat tournaments but never the required ten in a row to crush Earthrealm, but all that was put to a stop when Liu Kang issued a crushing defeat to Shang Tsung.
		Mortal Kombat: Deception has several gameplay modes that extend the gameplay by giving the players a break from the action without having to switch to a completely different game.
		Mortal Kombat: Deception features a staggering amount of replayability, Live play, hours of unlockables, multiple gameplay modes, and far more than any other fighter since Soul Caliber.

	Mortal Kombat: Deception - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		Mortal Kombat: Deception (MK:D) is a good progenitor of the series, as it contains a whole pile of hidden material which will dramatically increase the game’s playing time until everything is unlocked.
		Mortal Kombat: Dark Alliance is a Greatest Hits game for a reason, and the fighting is still pretty darn cool.
		I understand that the developers of Mortal Kombat: Deception tried to make the game somewhat different from Deadly Alliance so that people would be more inclined to pick it up, but instead we end up with a great game that seems to be missing something, all of the great characters that we love to use.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the mid-90’s, Mortal Kombat was the king of the videogame bikesheds.
		Kombat Chess is a simplified version of the classic board game that replaces traditional pieces with hand-picked teams of Kombatants.
		Deception is, after all, primarily a beat ‘em-up, but it's merely adequate in this respect, providing the anticipated results but doing itself no favours by copying better beat ‘em-ups and failing to match their standards.

	Mortal Kombat: Deception Microsoft Xbox Video Game Review by AceGamez
		Mortal Kombat, the super franchise from way back in the day looked to be on a steady downfall at one point but was quickly redeemed with the release of the successful and acclaimed Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance in 2002.
		Mortal Kombat's story is deeper than it appears and there is always a lot more going on than meets the eye.
		The arcade mode is the same as it has always been in Mortal Kombat; you select a fighter and progress up a ladder of challengers, finally confronting the main boss and you're rewarded with a brief ending sequence once defeated.

	Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games: Mortal Kombat: Deception (PS2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Deception's solo mode is very similar to it's predecessor, Dark Alliance, although there is a new 'breaker' move that allows you to stop combos in their tracks.
		The main difference between Mortal Kombat Deception and other beat-um-ups is the violence, toned down slightly for the last game it is back with a vengeance with each character having two fatalities and a hari-kari move as well as level specific fatalities.
		Mortal kombat has come a long way since the origional and being an MK fan i got this game on release (although slightly annoyed due to it now costing £12 when i payed £30) even if i wasnt an MK fan this would still get 5 stars.

	Viewing Review @ Video Game City
		Mortal Kombat 3 sacrificed the serious (but not too) tone and solid character selection with a lame “so sick it’s funny” approach with a bunch of characters that had no real connection with gamers.
		Mortal Kombat 4 was the victim of the big rush to get all the big franchises in 3D.
		For those that don’t know, Mortal Kombat’s explanation of the mystical aspects of the story comes from “realms” which are considered to be different planes of existence or dimensions.

		Mortal Kombat Deception might not end up being everything the fans have been waiting for, but it comes pretty darn close.
		New to Deception is a combo breaker, a move that will stop just about any series of attacks, but can only be used three times per match.
		The acid pool level from Mortal Kombat II is reintroduced for a new generation, except this time you won’t have to wait until the end of the match to kick your opponent into the acid.

		Well it has been 12 years and minus one John Tobias and the Mortal Kombat, series is back to the prime status they once enjoyed in the early 90’s.

		Mortal Kombat Deception has the most replay value of any MK game before it.

	Mortal Kombat: Deception (XBOX) Reviews on Darkstation
		The one thing about the Mortal Kombat series is after the first few of them the series really took a downward spiral that ended up taking the series away from what made it successful in the first place.
		Mortal Kombat has always been known for straightforward fast-paced gameplay that has always been fun for the multiplayer and single player alike.
		Deception is a much smoother looking game then the previous edition, which had a lot less detail.

	Mortal Kombat: Deception Review from GameZone.com
		MKD builds upon last year’s solid Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance in almost every conceivable way, leaving fans with a 3-D fighter that can now take its rightful place among the elite of the genre, which is no small feat considering MK’s long, storied history as a 2-D fighter.
		One aspect that Mortal Kombat has always been known for is its ridiculously long combos, which is well utilized and implanted with the multiple fighting styles.
		Speaking of combos, a new addition to MKD is the combo breakers, which allows a fighter to interrupt an opponent’s combo string with a counterattack from a simple button combination.

	IGN: Mortal Kombat: Deception Review
		October 1, 2004 - After a downward spiral that took the Mortal Kombat series to places it never wanted to go, Midway's number one franchise finally made a comeback in 2002 with the release of Deadly Alliance; a completely revamped and re-envisioned interpretation of John Tobias and Ed Boon's arcade fighting vision.
		Two years and plenty of suggestions later, Boon and Midway are back once again with the next chapter in the Outworld saga, Mortal Kombat: Deception; a game that manages to take everything we liked about the last title and expand upon it exponentially.
		Mortal Kombat: Deception picks up immediately where the last one left off, and once again, begins as a tale that proves more tragic than not.

	Gamebiz XBOX Review - Mortal Kombat: Deception (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was one of the biggest risky franchise games in the history of gaming.
		Mortal Kombat had been losing fans slowly as the series progressed, and with the new consoles Midway would need to do something special to redeem itself.
		Puzzle Kombat is in the form of a game of duel Tetris where two mini characters fight at the bottom of the screen, being controlled by your moves with the blocks, and the final mode Konquest is an Adventure game â“ and quite a good one at that.

	Mortal Kombat: Deception Review (Xbox)
		Mortal Kombat: Deception is the latest console-specific MK game from Midway, sporting a better-rounded and mature look and feel.
		Deception can be thought of as four separate games really, a concept which is new to what has been a one dimensional fighting game for ten years (notwithstanding DA’s weak story-type mode).
		The heart of Deception, and every game before it, is the Kombat mode which has gone through some major changes for this year.

	Mortal Kombat: Deception PS2 Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Another famous name that could be added to that list is Mortal Kombat 2, a title that so totally refined and added to the basic structure it inherited that it was seen by some to be all the original Mortal Kombat should have been.
		First and foremost, Mortal Kombat: Deception has largely left a pretty flawless control system alone: twenty-three of the game’s twenty-five characters have three fighting styles, consisting of two separate marital arts and a weapon, again unique to each fighter.
		In the former, Shang Tsung (Mortal Kombat 2 version, of course) surveys the scene from a balcony above the chains, whilst in the latter, the towers that enabled thousands of ‘Kombatants’ to ‘Choose [their] Destiny’ spring up from the ground, crumbling with age, though still bearing the images of past warriors.

		In addition, Deception boasts a wide range of new features to the series, including Chess and Puzzle Kombat, a Konquest mode, a Krypt where items can be purchased, and a Kontent section that houses all sorts of extra goodies.
		Meanwhile, Puzzle Kombat may as well be Tetris with cute, pint-sized Mortal Kombat characters slugging it out at the bottom of the screen.
		All in all, though, Mortal Kombat: Deception for GameCube is shaping up to be a slick port of the already-released PS2 and Xbox versions that the MK die-hard will likely find of interest due to the extra playable boss characters.

	Mortal Kombat: Deception Review for PS2 on GamePro.com
		Puzzle Kombat is a Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo clone where two super-deformed kombatants try and bury each other underneath a pile of multi-colored bricks.
		Deception's drop-dead gorgeous graphics are loaded with clever details (Mileena's thinly veiled mouth or razor-sharp teeth, for instance) and vibrant colors.
		Mortal Kombat's been one of the most popular fighting franchises since its humble arcade beginnings, and love it or hate it, it deserves props for enduring against such seasoned competitors like Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, and Tekken.

		I decided to wait on commenting on the latest game in the long-running "Mortal Kombat" franchise, titled "Mortal Kombat: Deception," because I first wanted to see how things would pan out after it was beaten.
		It is here in "Konquest" that you pretty much learn about the whole "Mortal Kombat" universe and you train, learn special moves, and earn "kombat koins" to open up unlockables in the "krypt" (everything that's usually spelled with a "c" is spelled with a "k" in the "Mortal Kombat" universe).

		If you're anything like me, you were pleasently surprised with the latest installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise, Deadly Alliance(further referred to as MK:DA) when it released back in November of 2002.
		Maybe it was the lack of multiple character fatalities, stage finishing moves, and Scorpion's teleportation punch, but there was something there that certaintly didn't scream Mortal Kombat to me. Even so, I was just glad to have another game with the Mortal Kombat name attached to it that was even remotely good.

		When the original Mortal Kombat came out, it became a sensation almost entirely thanks to the use of live action characters and (at the time) bloody fatalities.
		Chess kombat invites players to create their own team for a variation on standard chess that includes one-on-one fighting, spell casting, and points of power.
		Puzzle kombat is a Tetris-derivative where you stack colored blocks while competing with an opponent, but the twist is that in order to get rid of the blocks; you have to hit them with a properly colored kombat symbol.
