Got bored with it right away, returned the game the day I bought it. Mortal Kombat is supposed to be about special moves, pitting characters against each other, move priority, and gruesome finishers. They've turned it into a 3-D Tekken wanna-be with unimpressive specials and yawner fatalities. Konquest Mode is the game's way of making you play for hours using a character with absolutely no interesting features, and no special moves whatsoever. Add to that the fact that you can't play any of the interesting characters in Arcade mode (except, I guess, Sub-Zero and Scorpion) without spending three weeks unlocking them in silly Konquest mode, and you have a return-worthy title.
"MK: Deception stays true to its fighting core" was the advertising. No, MK turned into Sub-Zero the Hedgehog, a Koin-Kollecting platformer interrupted by some brief and uninspired fighting.
Not what you wanted to hear, but certainly needed saying.
