About the Game
Based on the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance engine, players once again have to fight to stop this new threat in the sixth installment of the fighting series. The standard Arcade, Versus, and Practice modes return, as well as new items to be found in the Krypt. In addition, there are new Konquest Adventure, Chess Kombat, and Puzzle Kombat modes to give players new mini-games. There are a dozen Mortal Kombat fighters selectable at the start of the game, including both old favorites and mysterious newcomers.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The game also introduces nine new fighters, Ashrah, Dairou, Darrius, Havik, Hotaru, Kira, Shujinko, Onaga, and Kobra, each with a distinctly new fighting style intended to balance the deadly abilities of the other characters. The Playstation 2 and Xbox versions offer online, competitive play against other players.
Modes & Ways to Play
The Gamecube version does not include online play, but offers Goro and Shao Kahn as exclusive playable characters.
Player support includes Hot Seat, Same/Split-Screen, and Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS).
