Best Fighting Game Of E3

Post by Gambid »

Three different websites, GameSpot, IGN, 1UP awarded Mortal Kombat: Deception for E3 Best Fighting game. We want to congratulate the development team for the great work.

GameSpot Award
Fighting games are experiencing what might be considered a renaissance these days, with the advent of online play. Many of us at GameSpot were hardcore into the genre at one time, but as the nation's arcades dwindled, competition became harder to come by, and our interest naturally dwindled. But this looks like the perfect opportunity to dive right back in, and we absolutely can't wait. There were other promising fighting games at E3, but Mortal Kombat: Deception had us most excited.

IGN Award
After 2002's surprisingly sound 3D rendition of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Midway has taken its time to dig deeper into the MK chest of goodies. Mortal Kombat: Deception adds to the combo carnage by bringing expected new characters and moves, but it's upped the ante with brutally punishing environmental traps, and it's rounded out the fighter with solid, likeable side games giving players secondary and tertiary reasons to goof around. The fighting itself is still skill-based, combo-laden and tighter than ever, and the wealth of moves and character rivalries brings new life to the aging series. Mortal Kombat may be an old series, but the new engine and tireless work on Midway's part to hone it have shown us the spine-ripping beast of a brawler still has all the right moves.

obviuosly it's going to to win,i mean come on since deadly alliance came out most of the other fighting games can't stand up to mortal kombat. Tao Feng was the only game that i can see was close to mortal kombat only because that double crosser John Tobais went to microsoft. When i saw dead or alive extreme i was like"this is going to be the best online fighting game game of the year" but then when i saw mortal kombat deception i was like"there goes dead or alive". If microsoft was smart they would release dead or alive faster than MK:Deception so they sell more copies now.
