''Mortal Kombat: Deception'' is a fighting game developed and published by Midway as the sixth installment of the ''Mortal Kombat'' (''MK'') series. It was released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in October 2004, and for the Nintendo GameCube in March 2005. ''Mortal Kombat: Deception'' follows the storyline from the fifth installment, ''Deadly Alliance''. Its story centers on the revival of the Dragon King Onaga, who attempts to conquer the realms featured in the series after defeating the sorcerers Quan Chi and Shang Tsung, the main antagonists in the previous game, and the Thunder God Raiden, defender of Earthrealm. The surviving warriors from the previous titles join forces to confront Onaga. Twenty-six characters are available to play in the game, with nine making their first appearance in the series. ''Deception'' contains several new features in the series, such as chess and puzzle games with the ''MK'' characters and an online mode. The Konquest Mode returns from ''Deadly Alliance'', but follows the life of Shujinko, a warrior who is deceived by Onaga to search for artifacts to give Onaga more powers. In November 2006, Midway released ''Mortal Kombat: Unchained'', a port for the PlayStation Portable, which adds characters to the game from the previous title. Series co-creator Ed Boon designed ''Deception'' to be an unpredictable fighting game, and included new features such as the minigames as surprises. Several parts from ''Deadly Alliance'' such as combos and arenas were redesigned to be more realistic as well as more interactive. ''Deception'' has been well received by video game reviewers, who praised the fights and new features. The Konquest Mode, however, received criticism for poor voice acting. Several publications have awarded the game as the best fighting game of 2004. ==Gameplay== The game's arenas are similar to those in ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'', but include new features such as unique weapons which players can use, and instant-death traps, which immediately kill a fighter who falls into them. The game also introduces the "Combo Breaker", a system which allows players to interrupt combos up to three times per match.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kombat tips )〕 In contrast to ''Deadly Alliance'', in which characters had only one Fatality, the ''Deception'' characters have two Fatalities and a hara-kiri suicide move. The latter is used when the phrase "Finish Him/Her" is shown on the screen and the player is about to lose.〔 ''Deception'' introduces two minigames that use ''MK'' characters. "Chess Kombat" is a minigame similar to classical chess, but uses player-selected characters as pieces that must best each other in combat to take a square. Some pieces have certain abilities, ranging from impersonating their opponents to instantly killing one of the opposing pieces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kombat Chess guide )〕 It also adds "Puzzle Kombat", a puzzle game similar to ''Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo'' which features super deformed versions of the ''MK'' characters that attack each other once a player gains an advantage in the game. The "Krypt" returns from ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'', and serves as an interface to access extra content hidden in "koffins" (actual coffins named with the series' trademark misspelling). In ''Deception'', the size of the Krypt was reduced from 676 koffins to 400 koffins. Some koffins also have locks that require keys that can only be found in the Konquest mode. The Krypt in ''Mortal Kombat: Deception'' includes 12 bonus characters (which was cut down to 6 characters in the GameCube version).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Krypt guide )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mortal Kombat: Deception」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
